Books to Watch For--Updated
A couple of months ago, I posted my "Books to Watch For" list, with all the books that I was eagerly awaiting. In the last couple months, I've added a couple more books to the list and learnt a few added details about some of the other books I was already awaiting. So I thought an update was in order.
October 25, 2005- Undead and Unreturnable by Mary Janice Davidson.
The fourth Betsy Taylor book. One thing you have to love about Mary Janice Davidson, unlike most of the other authors on this list--she doesn't take forever to write a book. Her last Betsy Taylor book came out in July and already we're getting another one. Isn't that awesome? To be the fair, the books are shorter and fluffier than anything else on this list, but still really good and you don't have to wait forever! This one's even a Christmas book--A Christmas book about vampires, now doesn't that sound interesting?
Books 5 & 6 are slated for release in 2006 and I'll post more information on them once they have titles and such. But don't you love how fast she writes?
April 2006- A Date From Hell- Multiple Authors (including Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong)
This is a multi-author anthology that includes authors of two of my favorite series with two short stories from said series'. I love anthologies, I've found some great authors that way, because they were in anthologies with an authout I already loved.
This one has a new story from Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, with a new character--always fun. It also has a new story from Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series, set before the series. I'm very excited about this one.
May 2006- Broken by Kelley Armstrong
The newest Women of the Other World book! This new story focuses on Elena, the main character of the first two books, not by favourite of the three narators so far in the series, but I'm sure it'll still be wonderful. One big thing about it: it's set in Toronto! Yay!
June, 2006- Once Upon Stilettos by Shanna Swendson
Of all the books on the list, this is the one I'm looking forward to. I loved Enchanted Inc. and I can't wait to read this sequel. Especially now, since she's just posted a little tidbit about it on her website. I still don't know how I'm going to last until next June, but I'll make it somehow. I hope, though I'm sure by the time it actually comes out, I will be in full-obsessive mode, counting down the days and everything.
July, 2006- Danse Macrabre by Laurell K. Hamilton
Anita Blake #13! Of course, this book is still almost a year away--but I am desperatly, eagerly looking forward to it. I love these books and I'm sure the next one will be amazing, even if it's come almost two years after the last one. I already know I will love this book. More Anita; more vampires, werewolves and other creatures; more sex, blood and death; more angst and agression; and best of all, more Jean Claude! How could any girl resist?
There you go, my updated "Books I'm Eagerly Awaiting" list. If you'll note, they're all fantasy/supernatural. Most of them contain magic, half of them contain vamprires and they all have that supernatural theme. What can I say, that's my current book taste (I think it comes from the fact that most of these were recommended by Taela).
The only unfortunate thing about this list, is that half of the books on it don't come out until next summer. Sigh. Oh, well, at least I have school to fill my time until then.
