Weekly Bestsellers, 26 May

Two titles to be officially published tomorrow rank on one or more Amazon lists today. Cassandra Clare’s City of Heavenly Fire (McElderry), latest in her “Mortal Instructments” YA series — which has ranked on Amazon.com for several weeks already with pre-publication sales — is #2 today on Amazon.com, and #4 on both the Canada and UK sites.

And Jim Butcher’s Skin Game (Roc), his latest “Dresden Files” novel, is #11 today on Amazon.com, #12 on the Canada site. (Meanwhile, several of Butcher’s backlist novels in the series rank on the USA Today list this week.)
