queensthiefDespite tornado, wind, and internet failure I come to you!
Okay, so the tornado didn't hit my county. But I heard the warning alarm (radio box) going off all night anyway.
What Books Are You Waiting For?
What's being published this year that you just can't wait to get your hands on?
What's not coming out for far too long?
Any books you wish there was a sequel to that seem to be closed off to continuation?
Feel free to vent about Community Topical books, but include something someone here may not know about, too, if you can!

Date: 5/3/08 12:35 am (UTC)Uh lemme see what the actual title is...
OMG THERE'S A PICTURE OF IT NOW LOOKY LOOKY LOOKY IT IS SO BEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOTIFUUUUUUUUL...Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox (http://www.amazon.com/Time-Paradox-Artemis-Fowl-Book/dp/1423108361/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209774750&sr=8-1).
Wait, Amazon, why are you telling me I want to buy this book together with Brisingr (http://www.amazon.com/Brisingr-Inheritance-Book-Christopher-Paolini/dp/0375826726/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b)? I happen to know I don't. Though I'm also looking forward to reading this one, either for a) insight into Mr. Paolini's greatly improved writing and plotting or b) t3h lulz (more likely).
More importantly, ARTEMIS FOWL YAY.
Sunshine. I'm still waiting for the Story Council to get back to Ms. McKinley on that one. :-)

Date: 5/3/08 12:36 am (UTC)And Chalice by Robin McKinley coming out this fall... I am most definitely looking forward to that. :) I happened to really like Dragonhaven, though most of the McKinly fans on my list didn't like it as much as her other books.
Hmmm... lets see if I can think of anything else... *ponders*

Date: 5/3/08 12:50 am (UTC)"The Battle of the Labyrinth" is coming out next Tuesday!!! Unfortunately, I won't get to read it until my daughter's done with it, but there's going to be a Rick Riordan Event a few days later that I get to attend.
And...is the Kevin Crossley-Holland book about Gatty out yet? Must investigate.

Date: 5/3/08 01:11 am (UTC)Sherwood Smith has several books coming out this summer, which I'm impatient for (especially Once a Princess (http://samhainpublishing.com/coming/once-a-princess), which unfortunately will only be an e-book at first, but at least it's cheaper that way).
I can't wait for A Wizard of Mars by Diane Duane!
Moreover, I'm excited for Chalice (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0399246762?ie=UTF8&tag=myxa-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0399246762)
It comes out next year and not this year, but I'm also impatient for Tamora Pierce's Bloodhound.
And after reading Jade's comment, I'm excited about the new Artemis Fowl book!
...that's all I can think of for now. Oh, I will be reading Brisingr (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375826726?ie=UTF8&tag=myxa-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0375826726)

Date: 5/3/08 01:43 am (UTC)Have been waiting, in a sense, though I'll be waiting for it once there's no holds list, because it's no longer a trilogy, sheesh.

Date: 5/3/08 01:14 am (UTC)Sarah Prineas's The Magic Thief -- I already have the ARC and adored it, but I want lots of other people to enjoy it too!

Date: 5/3/08 01:46 am (UTC)I am sighing because Walker Papers (Urban Shaman) Next One is not due for forever.
I shall console myself with Michelle West Sagara's next "Cast in..." book.

Date: 5/3/08 04:00 am (UTC)I'm also thrilled that Lois McMaster Bujold is writing another Miles Vorkosigan book, though there's no word on it beyond the bald fact that it will feature Miles. *grins*
But neither of those are being published this year. Sad, sad.

Date: 5/3/08 04:36 am (UTC)Also want Sherwood Smiths's third book in her Inda trilogy.
no subject
Date: 5/3/08 07:22 am (UTC)That's about it. Though reading through this gave me a few more things to whine about not having. Or, more likely, the library not having.
no subject
Date: 5/3/08 08:55 am (UTC)The third Inda book by Sherwood Smith, King's shield is out in July.
And then there's John Green's Paper towns. although I'm sure I've forgotten others.
And now that I'm not in Australia I bet these books will be easier to get near their publication date. Yay!
no subject
Date: 5/3/08 11:12 am (UTC)knowing i'll have to wait a year each time a new one comes out kills me, expecially as the plot becomes more continously rather than each book being a separate detective case for harry to solve
O_o new artemis fowl? thank you for alerting me to that
¬¬ and yes i agree, tamora pierce is taking too long to publish the next book

Date: 5/3/08 06:13 pm (UTC)I can hardly wait for CELEBRATING ANTONIA FOREST, which is the proceedings of a conference about AF that I didn't get to attend. Also it includes bits of RUN AWAY HOME that got cut from the book. Including, so I hear, a kiss between Patrick and Nicola. Which will thrill me to no end because a)AF apparently destroyed the work she had done on her last book some time before she died, so this is the only new writing I'm going to get to see, and b)Patrick and Nicola!
Also coming soon (or is it out yet? I was thinking June, but I could be wrong) is the sequel to Jeanne Birdsall's THE PENDERWICKS, which I enjoyed very much.
Things for which there will be no sequels, alas!: Antonia Forest's Marlow books mentioned above. And a sequel to THE REB AND THE REDCOATS and one to ENEMY BROTHERS, both by Constance Savery. And a sequel to RILLA OF INGLESIDE, by L. M. Montgomery. And THE WONDERFUL YEAR, by Nancy Barnes. And a sequel to AND LOVE THEE EVERMORE and THE LIVING SWORD by Lennox Allan (though I am sure Killiecrankie through her book would break my heart all over again). And another of the Baker Street Irregulars books by Robert Newman.
I want them. I want them *NOW*. And I don't understand why authors think that they can get away with feeble excuses like, "But I'm dead!" Bah! I sneer at their excuses!

Date: 5/3/08 09:39 pm (UTC)-A new Miles Vorkosigan book would make my year Or one about Cazaril, actually.
-The third Moist von Lipwig Pratchett book - hinted at on wikipedia but unconfirmed officially, I think.
- Even a new Tamora Pierce book would be nice - it's been a while since one of those
-The new DWJ book about Howl and Sophie!

Look! http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/p/terry-pratchett/nation.htm The summary seems to be a bad case of the reviewer paraphrasing Pratchett's wit and trying to be funny himself, falling flat on his face in the process. *cough*
