WriterMate's reading

It has risen 3 weeks in a row — the point where a one-off and a real trend start to separate. 100.0% of the titles carrying modern also carry modern fantasy. It is more accurate to read this as the "modern + modern fantasy" combination moving, rather than the setting on its own. Next most common: growth(77.8%).
