chesilbeach Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 What books are you eagerly anticipating being published this year? I know that along with quite a few others here, I'm extremely excited about Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde which is just 10 short days away now. I've also just found out that one of my favourite authors, Meg Cabot, has a new adult novel (as opposed to children/YA which she predominately writes) coming out this summer, called Insatiable, where she's dipping into the supernatural and the world of vampires! I can't wait! What about everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Great topic Chesil ~ The books I am looking forward to in 2010 are ~ The Reckoning (Darkest Power 3) by Kelley Armstrong, I have enjoyed the first two books in the series. Linger by Maggie Stiefvater ~ the sequel to 'Shiver' which I read at the end of last year and enjoyed. And this has not been confirmed as yet ~ Edit: Confirmed for release next year, so I will be looking forward to IQ84 for another year. 1Q84 (Book 1) by Haruki Murakami being published in English by vintage books Just added ~ Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse series) by Charlaine Harris Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong Tales from the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde Edited January 4, 2010 by Weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea time from the Traditionally Built, The Double Comfort Safari Club- Alexander McCall-Smith (11 and 12 from the No. ! Ladies' Detective Agency) The Swan Thieves- Elizabeth Kostova I'm sure they'll be another Jodi Picoult out at some point too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris Me too I'm also hoping that the last book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle will be published this year although I think that's a bit of wishful thinking as there's no date for it yet You never know!

poppyshake Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Stephen Fry is said to be writing the next installment of his autobiography right now so hopefully that will be out this year (I think he said the deadline was April). Something new from J.K. Rowling .. but I guess that might be wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 1Q84 (Book 1) by Haruki Murakami being published in English by vintage books:DDead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse series) by Charlaine Harris Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde These for me, too. Although if I'm going to be honest I won't be buying the books when they are released as I have far too many other books to read first.

Nollaig Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The Swan Thieves is the only one popping into my mind, but there are probably more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah, Stephen Fry for me too, if it's out this year. Also, The Children's Book by A S Byatt - in paperback. I'd also really like something new from Khaled Hosseini, but his official site has no mention of him even writing at the moment, let alone having one near publication. I also want Chris Evans' autobiography in paperback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Also, The Children's Book by A S Byatt - in paperback. Yes, I've been hanging on for the paperback too .. I can't wait to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Burned by PC and Kristin Cast (House of Night series) is out in April This series has been a bit hit and miss for me, but the last one was better and ended with such a cliffhanger, I'm going to have to get this one as well!
