Kylie Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) What books are you looking forward to seeing published in 2012? I'm looking forward to some 2011 books being published in paperback. Here are some I'm looking forward to (I'm including sequels from series that I own but haven't read, because I'm sure I'll love them when I eventually read them!): Cassandra Clare City of Lost Souls (Mortal Instruments #5) Cassandra Clare Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3) Eoin Colfer The Last Guardian (Artemis Fowl #8) Justin Cronin The Twelve (Passage #2) Jasper Fforde Dark Reading Matter (Thursday Next #7) Jasper Fforde Return of Shandar (Last Dragonslayer #3) Mark Haddon The Red House Charlaine Harris Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse #12) Melina Marchetta Quintana of Charyn (Finnikin #3) Beth Revis A Million Suns (Across the Universe #2) Veronica Roth Insurgent (Divergent #2) Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Prisoner of Heaven (Shadow of the Wind #3) Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Watcher in the Shadows Markus Zusak Bridge of Clay It looks like Diane Setterfield, who wrote The Thirteenth Tale, might also have another book coming out. Ooh, I've just found another list that details more books that are being published. I'll go and pore over that now. Edited January 5, 2012 by Kylie Quote

Kylie Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 I found a Guardian article that's slightly related to this topic, although it also includes author anniversaries in 2012 and different book adaptations that will be shown on TV and in theatres. Quote
vinay87 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson - A Memory of Light (The 14th and final book of the wheel of time) Waited forever for this one. Can't wait to see how it ends! Quote
frankie Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) This thread is scaring the life out of me. Books by authors I like/love are coming out and before reading this thread I was blissfully ignorant. Of those mentioned I'm interested in Jasper Fforde Dark Reading Matter (Thursday Next #7) Jasper Fforde Return of Shandar (Last Dragonslayer #3) Mark Haddon The Red House Charlaine Harris Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse #12) Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Prisoner of Heaven (Shadow of the Wind #3) Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Watcher in the Shadows Markus Zusak Bridge of Clay Diane Setterfield And that's just too much. Edit: Where do you find info on books that are being published? Or do you guys just keep a close eye on your favorite authors and that way know what's coming out and when?

frankie Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) A new Peter Carey: The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey (Faber). In modern-day London, a conservator mourning the death of her secret lover tries to unravel the mystery of a 19th-century automaton: a clockwork puzzle made for a sick child. Life and death, love and human invention are explored as the two stories intertwine. and a new Kate Summerscale: Mrs Robinson's Disgrace by Kate Summerscale (Bloomsbury). The follow-up to the prizewinning, bestselling The Suspicions of Mr Whicher centres on a celebrated Victorian divorce case. Edited February 5, 2012 by frankie Quote

Scarlette Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I'm very much looking forward to Anne Rice's new novel, The Wolf Gift, which is due out on Valentine's Day if memory serves, and John Irving's In One Person. Quote
willoyd Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I don't often look forward to books coming out - I'm too busy keeping up with what is already on my shelves! - but I have to admit that one that I will buy the day it emerges is the sequel to Wolf Hall. Bring Up The Bodies is due out in on 10th May. My half term reading is already sorted! Quote
ian Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I'm looking forward to Justin Cronin's follow up to "The Passage" which I believe is called "The Twelve". Quote
Sofia Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Stay Close-Harlan Coben looks promising, although his books could easily go either way with me 3/20/12 Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult looks okish too 2/28/12 Chomp by Carl Hiaasen...he's just too funny 3/27/12 Quote
Knox Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I'm looking forward to Justin Cronin's follow up to "The Passage" which I believe is called "The Twelve". Me too. Cannot wait to see what happens. Quote

bobblybear Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 The next book in the Hunger Game series Is there going to be one? I thought the last one was pretty final. Quote
