chrysalis_stage Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I know I am waiting on at least two books to be released soon, Wildfire - Sarah Micklem - released May 09 - apparently....been waiting so long (sequel to firethorn) The Good Angel of Death - Andrey Kurkov - released August 09 I'm interested in if there are any books you are anxiously waiting for that have not been released yet and that you may have preordered already? I'm trying to be patient...luckily there are other books to read in the mean time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookJumper Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 For my part I'm desperately awaiting Jasper Fforde's new series starter "Shades of Grey", although having another four and a half of his books on my TBR pile it's probably good for my sanity that it's not out yet.

Kylie Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I guess one thing about reading a lot of classics is that you're never waiting for new books by the author to be released. Although I guess you could say I'm waiting for Jasper Fforde's new book, even though I still have about 5 or 6 others to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Dana Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 To those of you who pre-order books (and on behalf of authors everywhere), my humble thanks. Pre-ordering a book helps to improve its sales ranking, which in turn could prompt the publisher to consider another printing. It also helps reinvigorate a book's sales and marketing team.

BookJumper Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I have not yet read The Fourth Bear, but was that and The Big Over Easy the only two in the Nursery Crime series? As far as I'm aware. Could this be the shortest spin-off ever? Tut, tut, Jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 With the exception of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Snuff by Chuck Palaniuk, I never really know when things are due to be released to be honest. I usually have a wander around Waterstones at the weekend and if a new book by a good author is on the shelves I'll get it. I'm not a forward thinker!

Chrissy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) There are some books I order before they are actively available. With Amazon you have the recommendations section that will recommend books that are yet to be published. May I add that I have an irrational complex about the term 'pre order'. It's just ordering, even if you are doing so before an item is available. The term is in use almost everywhere now - so my niggle at it's use is frequently challenged! Edited May 8, 2009 by Chrissy Cos I sounded reallllly harsh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Princess Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I can't wait for Karin Slaughter's new book to be released, I think its called Genesis. Anyway I know that its due to be released in July so not too much longer to wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitegold Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Im excited for The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Its out in September, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm also waiting for Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. And just like Nicola, I usually never know when new books that would definitely interest me are being published. When I read Chelsea Cain's Heartsick and Sweetheart I was so engrossed in them that I had to google Cain so I'd know if there's any more of this series in the making. And fortunately there is! Evil at Heart is due in September. At least there's something good in autumn approaching this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I normally don't look forward to book releases. I look forward to movie releases, but to me books are different. I like to roam the isles at the local book store and discover old titles. I find the ones I have never heard of tend to be some of the better reads. With that being said, I am looking forward to the new Dan Brown book. I hope it is more than just hype. Lets hope the book delivers. I am also looking forward to the new John Grisham book, whenever that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookJumper Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm rather looking forward to the following: The Original Frankenstey by Mary Shelley with Percy Shelley, being Mary's original text and hubby Percy's revised text published together, yet separate. This should feed the inner close reader...! Dracula The Undeal by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt, being the only authorized sequel to Dracula, co-written by his direct descendant with access to Bram Stoker's notes re: characters and events purged by the original publisher of "Dracula" Oscar's Books: A Journey Through the Library of Oscar Wilde by Thomas Wright, being what it says on the tin. Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett, even though I have by no means exhausted the Discworld catalogue, just because I love the wizards to bits. Bluestockings: The Remarkable Story of the First Women to Fight for an Education, because I'm myself a woman trying to assert myself in the fairly chauvinistic field of academia.
