Kenny Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I want the next book in the Eragon series and the next Captain Underpants book. What books do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) The curious incident of the dog in the night. I keep getting told I would love it but haven't got round to buying it yet. I would also like to read a Christmas Carol. Edited August 20, 2008 by Stephanie2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am continually desperately awaiting the next book by several authors - I just devour them as they get published and then can hardly wait for the next one to become available. My current "Madly waiting for" list includes: Kelley Armstrong - The Summoning (DP #1 - 2008) Kelley Armstrong - Living with the Dead (WotOW #9 - 2008) Kelley Armstrong - Frost Bitten (WotOW #10 - 2009) Kelley Armstrong - Made to be Broken (Nadia Stafford #2 - 2008) Kelley Armstrong - Men of the Otherworld (collection of short stories / novellas - 2009) Christopher Brookmyre - A Snowball in Hell (2008) Philippa Gregory - The Other Queen (2008) Terry Pratchett - Nation (2008) Terry Pratchett (with Jacqueline Simpson) - The Folklore of Discworld (2008) Simon Scarrow - Fire and Sword (2009) Stuart Macbride - Blind Eye (2009) Ben Elton - Whatever he calles his next book (whenever he releases it) Some of them are imminent releases, so I won't have to wait much longer (maybe till my birthday or till Christmas, but certainly not longer than that, surely?!), but others won't be out for, like, another YEAR yet! How will I cope in the meantime??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The books that I really want (they can't be found in the library, and they are not available in any of my town's bookstores) are: Stephen Fry: Moab Is My Washpot Augusten Burroughs: A Wolf at the Table Ronald Hayman: The Death and Life of Sylvia Plath Because I figured that these are highly unlikely to ever be found in the library of the bookstores, I ordered them online I hope they make it in time to be in the post office tommorrow!

kehs Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am desperately seeking Memories of the Marsh by Betsy Stanley. It's a gypsy memoir and the reason I would love to own this is because FIL and his brother are mentioned in it. Also would love to get my peepers on In Turkey I am Beautiful by Brendan Shanahan, because a friend recommended it to me but I'm having trouble finding a copy.

Undercover Angel Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 A Company Of Swans - Eva Ibbotson. I fancy a few of her books actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheeling Andy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks by Donald Harrington, which is apparently incredibly funny and kept being referenced in another entertaining book I read. To Caucasus: the end of the earth, by Fitzroy Maclean, because Fitzroy Maclean is an utter legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules2 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The only one I really want at the moment is a wedding cake book by Martha Stewart. I don't want to read it particularly, just look at the beautiful pictures for inspiration. As it's quite pricey I might ask Santa to pop one in my stocking, or I have a wedding anniversary coming up soon.... Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm awaiting Terry Pratchett's Nation and Trudi Canavan's next book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedge Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 One book I really want was one of my favourites as a child, but went missing somewhere along the way. It's Ghosts & Shadows, a collection of ghost stories edited by Dorothy Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) My list is pretty long, and there are quite a few other books I want that I don't remember to put down, or I don't necessarily put anything if I'm after the complete works of an author (such as Pratchett, Wodehouse, Nabokov etc).

Freewheeling Andy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well, there are loads I want, but those two are the ones I really, really want that aren't generally available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tambo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The book I'm waiting to come out is Bones on the Hills by Conn Iggulden. Out on the 1st September. I choose my own hours at the moment, so I'm planing a day off work to be there when the postman arrives with the Amazon package. Then I'll just devour it one sitting.
