chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I've just seen that Melissa Harrison has a non-fiction book out in March ... Rain: Four Walks in English Weather, but it's in hardback, so might have to wait for the paperback to come out. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Here's the 2016 calendar for children's and YA books from The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2016/jan/04/childrens-books-2016-literary-calendar Quote
Peacefield Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 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. Yay!!! I can't wait for the new Chevalier, Claire! Looks like it comes out in March, days apart here in the US and in the UK. Quote
bookbug3 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I have a lot of books I'm looking forward to in 2016 even though I still have to finish my list from 2015. I'll get caught up eventually! In the meantime, here is a list of some of the books I'm excited to purchase in 2016: The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski The Last Star by Rick Yancey The Crown by Kiera Cass The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead Quote
Michelle Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 So far there are only 2 I'm excited about: Hex by Thomas Olde Heuveit and The Creeper Man by Dawn Kurtagich. Both scary! Quote
Peacefield Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 The Last Star by Rick Yancey Is that the last in the 5th Wave trilogy, Bookbug? If so I can't wait for that one either! Quote
bookbug3 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Sure is, Peacefield. I can't wait for it to come out, especially since the first book is becoming a movie! Quote

chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Yeah, the Guardian have a really good children's area in the book section of their website ... always worth a look to see what articles they've got there. Quote

geordie9 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Justin Cronins 3rd part of The Passage trilogy The City Of Mirrors Stephen King - End Of Watch Joe Hill - The Fireman Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Joe Hill - The Fireman I did not know this- thanks!! Catherine Ryan Hyde will be out with a new book, Leaving Blythe River on June 14th: Seventeen-year-old Ethan Underwood is totally unprepared to search for his father in the Blythe River National Wilderness. Not only is he small, scrawny, and skittish but he’s barely speaking to the man after a traumatic betrayal. Yet when his father vanishes from their remote cabin and rangers abandon the rescue mission, suddenly it’s up to Ethan to keep looking. Angry or not, he’s his father’s only hope. With the help of three locals—a fearless seventy-year-old widow, a pack guide, and a former actor with limited outdoor skills—he heads into the wild. The days that follow transform Ethan’s world. Hail, punishing sun, swollen rapids, and exhausting pain leave him wondering if he’s been fooled yet again: Is his father out here at all? As the situation grows increasingly dire, Ethan realizes this quest has become about more than finding his dad. Also, Lee Child will be out with the 21st Jack Reacher novel, Night School September 6th! Quote

Kylie Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 I can't remember if this has been mentioned in any of the links posted, but fans of Alan Bennett might be interested to know that 'Keeping On Keeping On, a third collection of lectures, diaries and other occasional writing, will be published this autumn' (Guardian).

LankaDivore Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) (Don't know if anyone already mentioned it but) I'm really looking forward to "Lady Midnight by Cassandra Claire." The book will be released in the end of May. I think the English version already is available. Has anyone read it so far? And I can't wait for the last book of Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux series, "Opposition". Edited April 4, 2016 by LankaDivore Quote
