Books I’m looking forward to – Spring 2014 edition

I have had a very busy year with many books to write and many books out, so I have been not blogging as much as I’d like. So I am trying, while there’s a little easing of the schedule, I thought it was time to talk about other books. Books I need to read. And I thought I’d split the list into books sitting on my Kindle or TBR pile that I need to get to and books coming out soon.

This is just a sampling. The true number of books in my TBR pile and on my wish list is possibly too horrifying to contemplate. I’d need shelves like these…

So herewith, some objects of book lust:

Coming soon (or really not soon enough) books:

Captive Prince Volume 3  by C.S. Pacat (awesome political fantasy (M/M)…addictive stuff)

Anticipation – Sarah Mayberry (go read Satisfaction and then you’ll be hanging out too)

The King – Tiffany Reisz (love this series)

Deep – Kylie Scott (hot rock gods – get on board)

Rogue Spy – Joanna Bourne (historical regency spies and gooorrrrgggeous writing) (out November 4, thank goodness!)

Four nights with the Duke – Eloisa James (always fun, always witty, sexy regency)

The next Megan Whalen Turner book whenever it appears (Her Thief of Eddis series is fab, hanging out for the next book)

It started with a Scandal – Julie Anne Long (another awesome regency writer)

Whatever the next Kelly Hunter book is (Makes grabby hands and impatient toe tapping in the direction of Kelly)

Flirting with Disaster – Victoria Dahl (smokin’ contemporaries)

TBR books:

Burn For Me – Ilona Andrews. (New Ilona series. ‘Nuff said.)

A Flight of Magpies – KJ Charles (Victorian M/M fantasy)

Steles of the Sky – Elizabeth Bear (awesome epic fantasy series with wizards and mysterious horses and much coolness)

A Murder of Crows – Anne Bishop (really unique UF world)

Written in My Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon (really really need a free three days or so to sit down and devour this. Outlander. Jamie Fraser. Say no more.)

The Madness Underneath – Maureen Johnson (YA paranormal verging on horror…so I need a bright sunny day to read it because parts of the first book were creeepppyyy)

The Ripper Affair – Lilith Saintcrow (alt-Victorian awesome mystery type series)

River of Stars – Guy Gavriel Kay (another big fat fantasy that I need a few days to devour. That and stealing myself for heartbreak. He always manages heartbreak.)

The Slow Regard of Silent Things – Patrick Rothfuss. (a big fat fantasy novella. Knowing Rothfuss his novellas are probably the length of normal books)

Heroes are my weakness – Susan Elizabeth Phillips (C’mon, she’s SEP!)

Shifting Shadows – Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson short stories. Yay!)

The Winter Bride – Anne Gracie (I am behind on my Anne Gracie. How did this happen?)

So there you go. As usual, too many books, not enough time and not enough time machines so I can get the ones I’m waiting on NOW! How about everyone else? What are you hanging out to read?
