Lucybird Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Hia everybody. I remembered this thread from 2010 so thought I would started a 2011 version. What books are you looking forward to in 2011. There's a new Thursday Next (by Jasper Fforde) out in February 'One of our Thursdays in Missing' which I'm hoping to finish the other Thursday Next books in time to read. There's also a new Sookie Stackhouse out Dead Reckoning. Plus there's a new No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party Oh and a new Jodi Picoult, Sing you Home Edited December 29, 2010 by Lucybird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I remember that I never used to have much to add to these types of threads because I mostly read books by long-dead authors. Obviously my tastes have expanded though because there are heaps of books I'm looking forward to next year. Sylvia Beach: The Letters of Sylvia Beach (paperback) Bill Bryson: At Home (paperback) Roy Peter Clark: The Glamour of Grammar (paperback) Jeff Deck: The Great Typo Hunt (paperback) Jasper Fforde: One of Our Thursday's is Missing Charlaine Harris: Dead in the Family (paperback) Charlaine Harris: Dead Reckoning Susan Hill: The Small Hand (paperback) Haruki Murakami: IQ84 (English translation released September) There are probably others that I'm forgetting. Thanks Weave - I hadn't realised Markus Zusak was releasing another book next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Excellent lists, you guys! Even though my 3 fave authors had new releases in 2009 and don't have any new works coming up, I'm finding a lot to read thanks to you! I had no idea Jasper Fforde was coming out with a new one, nor did I know about Chuck Palahniuk, Tess Gerritsen and countless others! Can't wait! Oh, and I keep seeing this Cassandra Clare name pop up... I think I need to check some of her stuff out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
