Audible is having a “Holiday Relief Sale” which lists 100+ audiobooks for $7.95 through January 2, and includes quite a few good sf/f listings. In particular, if you haven’t yet picked up Lev Grossman’s The Magicians: A Novel, narrated wonderfully by Mark Bramhall, now is absolutely the time. The best “deal” appears to be on Haruki Murakami’s Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World which normally lists for $44. And! Two books in Cherie Priest’s Clockwork Century. There are also plenty of new releases from 2012, from Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Drowned Cities to Magnus Flyte’s City of Dark Magic: A Novel. Note: The audiobooks are partitioned by author last name, with an additional “Editor’s Picks” tab which is NOT duplicated across the list by author. Here’s what caught my eye on a scan through:
