Bookish anticipation...

"....anticipation is an important part of life....you're 
cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming."
--Nicholas Sparks. 


I have a lot of favorite authors with new books coming out this year ... books that I am eagerly awaiting! Here are just a few:

Coming March 5th ... the new Patricia Briggs! 



Then, on April 2nd, I have two books to look forward to...
one by Anna Lee Huber and one by C.S. Harris:
















And on April 30th there's a new Victoria Thompson:





June's looking good because of this new Benedict Jacka coming out on the 6th:




Then, on July 16th there's this new one by Linda Castillo:




Last, but not least, Christina Henry has a new book coming out on August 13th:



Isn't bookish anticipation the best?
What books are you eagerly awaiting?

Happy Reading!

  2. New books are always a joy, especially from our favourite authors. :) I'm currently looking forward to upcoming books by C.J. Tudor, Riley Sager, Lisa See and Lisa Kleypas. I'm sure there're a few more but could only think of these authors at the moment.

  3. I am with you about bookish anticipation :) So excited!! I'm looking forward to the new Yoko Ogawa - The Memory Police and the new Stephen King - The Institute. Those are two that I know I will read as soon as I get my hands on them.

  4. My review for Who Slays the Wicked is scheduled for March 3. I really like the series. :) I'm looking forward to the new Linda Castillo and LoVe the cover of The Girl in Red!

    1. You could be right about Who Slays the Wicked (though Amazon is still saying April 2nd is the release date). Whichever day it is, I'm just excited to read the next Sebastian St. Clair installment! :D

  5. I hope you enjoy all of those books! The Girl in Red sounds good. I have read the first C.S. Harris book and need to start catching up with the rest of the series!

  6. I have a gift card waiting for the new Patricia Briggs - and there should be a new Anne Bishop coming out around the same time. They usually do a signing together here in Houston, which I missed last year (the first after discovering their books), but I haven't seen anything scheduled yet.

    1. I hope they do come and do a signing near you when their new books come out. That'd be really cool. :)

  7. I'm constantly waiting for new entries into series that I love. I have that Linda Castillo book on my list - can't wait to see what Kate and company are up to now.

  8. Well, there are least three or four series in that batch that I've been meaning to start! Maybe this will be the year. I put the first Alex Verus book on hold at the library.

  10. Don't tell me! I don't want to know. I am so behind . . . So many tempting books and I want to read them all!

  12. Will you have me if I tell you I already have ARCs for AN ARTLESS DEMISE and WHO SLAYS THE WICKED?? I'm especially excited for the former :)

  13. Shamed looks like the type of book I should get my mom. If you read it, I'll be eager to see what you think of it.

    1. Linda Castillo is a good author; and I really enjoy the Amish setting in her mysteries. (Her main character grew up Amish but is now the sheriff.)

  14. You have a lot to look forward to!

    I hear that Kate Atkinson will publish a new Jackson Brodie book this summer which makes me happy. I love that series and Atkinson in general!

    1. That's a series I haven't tried. Yet. I'll have to check it out. :)

  15. I've fallen a bit behind on my Anna Lee Huber books but always a treat to read her series. And, I'm also looking forward to Victoria Thompson's latest gaslight mystery. The last installment was a bit disappointing so I hope this one gets back on track. I just felt like Sarah & Frank were kind of in the background so hopefully there is more of a spotlight on them than other characters.

  16. I NEED the Christina Henry book NOW! I love her darker take on things and beside Beauty and the Beast, Red and the Wolf are my favorite fairy tale!

    1. Henry's book Alice is one of my favs ... I can't wait to read this new one. If only we didn't have to wait until August! :)

  17. Ooooh, such pretty new books. I wish I didn't have SO many lined up already because I want them all!

  18. That cover for Storm Cursed is so awesome! The Mercy Thompson series is something I've been wanting to try for awhile now. I recently read the first graphic novel based on it and loved it. :)

  19. I love seeing all of the upcoming books! The Girl in Red looks good--I'm currently listening to Heartless, a retelling about the Queen of Hearts, so I'm always looking for a fairytale retelling.
