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 01:09 am (UTC)(Okay, okay, I can dream. Though after the last book, what with the swapping of body parts and the "pubescent volcano" remark and all, I could hardly have asked for more.)

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 01:11 am (UTC)(Okay okay I feel SO much better now. The end of the last book had me bouncing all over the place with happy genius!shippy glee, not going to lie. They swapped EYEBALLS, for crying out loud. Clearly they are Meant To Be. Except for the whole species thing. And the height difference. And the age difference. ...you're right, we shouldn't try asking for more than we already got. :-D)

Date: 5/3/08 01:39 am (UTC)McKinley has "Chalice" coming out this year, which is apparently at least a work for mature readers, like Sunshine, if not in the line of Sunshine.

Date: 5/3/08 01:41 am (UTC)Okay, I totally don't care, the analogy was just waiting to be belaboured upon.
I'm invested in a more ridiculous ship, though for the moment it escapes me what it was, but when I remember...
Oh yeah. Skulduggery/Stephanie.
I have such a thing for immortals, even if they're all bones, if they have wit.

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 01:46 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 01:51 am (UTC)oh no alas. I want to, though! And it's all FINALS WEEK which is excellent because of course what comes after finals week but SENIOR WEEK in which there will be oodles and oodles of time for reading YAY.
