Kylie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 It's time for one of my favourite threads of the year...finding out about all the new releases to look forward to in the next year! I just found out that the fourth book in MRC Kasasian's Gower Street Detective series is coming out in June. It's called The Secrets of Gaslight Lane. Various newspapers will soon be publishing lists of upcoming books. If you find them before me, please post the link! I can't wait to find out what our favourite authors have in store for us.

Onion Budgie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have two so far -- although neither of them are novels. The first is the trade paperback of Midnighter, which is a new superhero comic series. I don't usually enjoy superhero stuff, but this one appealed to me. It's coming out in March. The second is Allie Brosh's new collection of cartoons and thoughts, Solutions and Other Problems. The publication date keeps getting pushed back, so I'm not sure when it will emerge -- but hopefully at some point next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I enjoyed Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half. Thanks for letting me know about the (hopefully) new book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Hyperbole and a Half so much that I've bought a copy for my father as one of his Christmas presents this year. I hope he likes it.

Peacefield Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I love this thread too, Kylie! I'm very much looking forward to Alan Bradley's new one, Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd. I'm not sure when it's out in the US, but I have a feeling the info might be over in the Flavia thread... I'm also anxiously awaiting Tracy Chevalier's new book, At the Edge of the Orchard, which is due out in March. She is easily one of my favorite authors .

bobblybear Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'm looking forward to The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes who wrote I Am Pilgrim. If it's even half as good as I Am Pilgrim, then we are in for a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 These are the books currently on my radar: The Silver Tide, by Jen Williams (February/July, depending on which edition I go for!) Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? by Paul Cornell (May) - Though need to read The Severed Streets first! The Hanging Tree, by Ben Aaronovitch (June) Stiletto, by Daniel O'Malley (also, June) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I am looking forward to Ballroom by Anna Hope (Feb), her debut 'Wake' was excellent. 'Half Lost', the third and final book in the Half Bad trilogy is being published at the end of March, I've not enjoyed much YA fiction in the last couple of years but these have been an exception. Another book I am looking forward to is 'Rooms for Lost Souls' by Lezanne Clannachan but the date for publication kept shifting and now Amazon says it doesn't know when it will become available. I need to do some digging as her debut, 'Jellybird' was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The two I am most looking forward to are: Hitman Anders and the Meaning of it all: Jonas Jonasson and of course Stiletto by Daniel O'Malley There are some also on my wish sit that I have been patiently waiting for in paperback that will be out in the first half of the year: Man I Became: Peter Verhelst The Undesired: Yrsa Sigurdardottir Quicksand: Steve Toltz The Mirror World of Melody Black: Gavin Extence The Heart of Man: Jón Kalman Stefansson (really looking forward to this one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yay! The Guardian has put up its wonderfully long article of new releases by calendar month. Check it out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ooh, and the Sydney Morning Herald has published its long list as well. There's a bit more of a focus on Australian writing, but also a lot of international stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm looking forward to a couple of books coming out in paperback, as they're only in hardback at the moment. They are Public Library and other stories by Ali Smith (May) and also At Hawthorne Time by Melissa Harrison (April). There are also some new children's books I'm looking forward to ... Perijee and Me by Ross Montgomery and Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard both due out in March and Strange Star by Emma Carroll due in July.

chesilbeach Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yay! The Guardian has put up its wonderfully long article of new releases by calendar month. Check it out here. Just had a look through this one ... Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld jumps out at me! Not only because it's part of the series of modern retellings of Jane Austen stories which I'm reading, but also I love Sittenfeld's books, so this is a no-brainer for me! Later in the year, I'm extremely pleased to see another Ali Smith novel due in August too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think it's a problem at the Independent's website. I've just gone to their book pages and clicked on the article again and it fails to load now. I've deleted the link and will check back later on the site to see if it gets sorted out.

chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just came across this article on The Pool website - I love how the writer has split the books into various categories, and some interesting books to look out for in there. I particularly like the look of some of the debut books, and on top of the ones I've already mentioned in this thread, I was reminded that Tracy Chevalier has a new book out next year called At The Edge of the Orchard and I've seen it praised elsewhere too, so I'm definitely going to be reading that one.
