R.F. Kuang’s second book comes out in the beginning of August! I know it’s about July, but still!!
Shall I Download A Black Hole And Offer It To You wrote: "how is there a list of series with books coming out that doesn't include Brandon Sanderson?!?!? doesn't he write about 79 books a year?:)"
Yeah, he has become the Danielle Steel of Fantasy.
Umbrella Academy vol. 3 is being released September 19th per the publisher's website.
Spencer Quinn has a new Chet and Bernie book coming out July 3rd!
I am looking forward to the next Gabriel Alon by Daniel Silva coming July 17th.
I heartily agree with Nancy. To me there is no equal to Daniel Silva and his spy series starring Gabriel Allon. Except for Robert Ludlum in the first few of his Bourne Identity series.
New Bowditch "Almost MIdnight" by Paul Doiron comes out today 7/2 (#10 in series).
I have two of these series on my TBR list, but have not read the first book YET. Just too many books and not enough time.
I just discovered the Kate Burkholder (sp?) series by Linda Castillo. I'm listening to them -- on book 2 now. Pretty entertaining for my long commute!
