Release week for Tuesday, May 8, 2012: My top pick this “week” is Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott, read by Cori Samuel for Iambik Audiobooks. This is a bit of a cheat job, as the audiobook was actually released in audio in late April, but I missed its arrival then so I will trumpet it loud and clear now: this is the next book I’m listening to.

It’s quite a release week in the Teen SF/F category, led by my overall pick for the week, The Drowned Cities By Narrated by Ship Breaker series, a post-oil-crash world, out concurrently with the print/e-book edition from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Along with all of my picks for this week, it’s in the 10-12 hour range, a length I am becoming more and more happy with.
Outside of YA, and also out concurrently with its print/e-book
