The Sorceress - Michael Scott
A Dance with Dragons - George RR Martin (if it's finally being published this time. It gets pushed back over and over)

I don't make a list of what I plan to read - I just wander around the house when I've finished one book, and eventually I will see another one that looks interesting.Or I'll visit with an old friend for a comfort read.
That's me. I don't plan what I read. I read whatever strikes me at the moment. I did make a vow though that this year all the books that have been languishing in my bedroom marked "Sorry, haven't read you yet" will finally be read. Then I got a bunch of new books so I made a new vow. I'll read one of my new books and then an older book from the stockpile. And sneak in an old budddy here and there. There are some books that I can't go without reading every couple of months.
Magical Worlds Of Philip Pullman - David ColbertHawkes Harbor - S.E. Hinton
