It's not just you. I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure it's a bad thing, but I hope we let the story go to however long it's going to take to do the title and "main plot" justice, instead of capping it off at X amount of pages just because it's getting a little long. Perhaps people are just "setting the stage" a bit more, as a continuation of "Selling Out," the main stage-setting issue.
