underwater society? I'm in.

[Anna]

I didn't know there's going to be a sequel to Semiosis! It's called Interference, and it's going on my 2019 anticipated list.

[AndrewP]

David Weber - Through Fiery Trials

[Sarah]

Amazon just notified me that Silvia Moreno-Garcia is releasing a new one: Gods of Jade and Shadow.

It’s not out until August 2019 but it sounds amazing!

[Kay]

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James tops my list so far.

I don't want to read many sequels, but it gave me pause that Tad Williams is returning to the setting of his Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series. It's been so long, y'know?

[Meredith]

I found out recently that Erin Morgenstern (author of The Night Circus) has a book coming out later this year which has me pretty excited: The Starless Sea.

[Kateb]

just bought the last book in the demon accord series. ANyone else out there reading this series.

I have read fantasy and sc fi for 60 years and this series has me caught, I had to re read the first 14 books to read this latest one

[Kaa]

Ted Chiang has another short story collection coming out in May: Exhalation: Stories

[Joon]

Every year my #1 most anticipated book is whatever Jack McDevitt publishes. This year it's Octavia Gone

Other than that, a few others I'm looking forward to:

Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear
Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey
The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders
Wanderers by Chuck Wendig

[CBRetriever]

Warrior of the Altaii = release of first Robert Jordan stand alone novel

Aw! Terrific!

ETA: I take that back ... Are they out of their minds? € 18 for the eBook version! I dearly hope this is a print mistake.

[CBRetriever]

it's $13.99 on amazon.com to US residents

[Michelle]

Megan Whalen Turner has a new one in her Thief (Eugenides) series coming out in March. I love that series.

[Sarah]

I saw a new one lurking on NetGalley: David Mogo, Godhunter by Suyi Davies Okungbowa. Supposed to release this summer. The first words used to describe it are: Nigerian God-punk. The blurb sounds pretty cool. Sorry I can’t link to it- I’m in the app.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

David Mogo, Godhunter :)

Looks cool!

[Anna]

Yup, another one that's on the mod-to-be-released shelf :D

[Sarah]

Thanks for the assist Allison! You guys have everything covered.

[MadProfessah]

Can’t wait for the new James SA Corey to come out in March: TIAMAT’S WRATH.

[Jonas]

I don't know when it'll be released, but the most anticipated book I'm looking forwards to is Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss, the Kingkiller Chronicles.

C'mon Patrick! We wan't to hear more of Kvothe!

[Jen]

You're not alone Jonas. https://twitter.com/IsBook3OutYet

Makes me laugh every time.

Thanks for sharing! That Twitter account just made my day! :D

[CBRetriever]

that is funny. I wonder if there's an option to bet on which one (Rothfuss or Martin) releases their book first? Maybe in Vegas or the UK. They're on about the same schedule. This is kinda funny too:

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon]

Not sure I'd say "most" looking forward to, but I just found out about a new release from Tricia Levenseller - Warrior of the Wild. I really enjoyed (in a guilty pleasures kind of way) her Daughter of the Pirate King and Daughter of the Siren Queen, so I look forward to trying out this new book.

[Sarah]

Let me know what you think Colleen! I'm on the fence about that one. I like that it's "vikings inspired" not sure about the rest of it.

Sure thing. :)
I have no idea when I'll actually get around to it, but I'll try to remember to post something either here or in the 'what're you reading' thread.

Sounds good!

[Raucous]

This month's group read of Early Riser reminded me that I'm looking forward to another book from Jasper Fforde: Humans v Trolls (working title). I really enjoyed his The Last Dragonslayer Series but it's been five years since anyone last heard from beleaguered Jennifer Strange. I've been wondered just how he's going to write himself and Jennifer out the cliffhanger that ended the third book. Now that he's writing again perhaps the "hopefully late 2019 publication, or early 2020" estimate on his website works.

[Anna]

The Murderbot novel has a name (Network Effect) and a tentative pub date of May 2020. I also read somewhere recently that there's going to be a Murderbot omnibus, I think that's what they're hinting at here:

[Meredith]

This looks very cool: Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Set in Jazz Age Mexico, the main character is sent on a quest by the Mayan god of death. Coming this summer....

[Gabi]

I don't believe it! My pre-order for "Children of Ruin" got cancelled - cause the promised price went from € 7 to over € 14 - if it weren't Tchaikovsky I would skip the book. :( (means, I will have to switch to audiobook, cause meanwhile audible is cheaper than e-books … that's just ridiculous!)

[Leticia]

I agree, I have been often hearing releases with Audible because the price goes over the top for the new hyped book in the series. And Tchaikovsky has so many other books cheaper than that, I am right now checking them out.
I can wait, since I have enough books in my TBR and enough older series to continue. Yesterday I found a whole urban fantasy series on sale at my library and spent the fortune of one euro for five books. ;-)
Sorry authors, but I'm jumping out of the expensive band wagon right now.

[Dawn F]

I gave up on the audio for Children of Time as I found the narrator too shrill and picked up the physical book on a London trip. So I’ll likely also pick up Children of Ruin when I’m in London late May.

[Gabi]

I was infuriated! When I got the cancellation message I thought the publication date was changed ... but no ... double price.

[CBRetriever]

I've had one that was cancelled but that was because of a release date change, not for a price change. I've also bought a few books on a pre-order price reduction and that price was honored.

[CBRetriever]

Aha, I have one:

Murder in Bel-Air is $7.99 for pre-order, but all the other books in the series are $9.99 or more

John, I have yet to read Children of Time, if you care to make a Buddy Read of it? I have it on audio book and I’m at the beginning of Red Mars, ATM, but I could potentially start CoT in a few weeks. What do you say?

[Lizzie]

I am starting to get really over-excited about A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay, which I think comes out pretty much the same time as Children of Ruin, which I am also excited for... I will have to read the Guy Gavriel Kay first though, or I won't be able to concentrate on anything else!

I'm planning on reading Children of Time before Children of Ruin comes out as well and would love a buddy read.

[Kateb]

just stop it everyone!!!!! I made a list of interesting books people suggested last year. At the moment I am only 1/3rd through. I can add any more, please!!!

Well maybe a few more

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

hahha Kate!

[Anat]

The next installment of the Red Rising saga Dark Age is coming out this year, tho I have yet to read the 4th book, just bought it last week :)

I'm looking forward more to Cage of Souls than Child of Ruins, tbh.

[Anna]

Hexarchate Stories was finally available for preorder on Kindle, so naturally I immediately preordered it! I'm so excited! I've been checking for months and months, and now I can finally try and relax while waiting for it to pop up on my Kindle.

I've also preordered To Be Taught, If Fortunate, but in the UK edition, so I'll get it a month earlier.

[Rachel]

Ooh I’ll be reading both of those this summer 💜

[Kaa]

The final book in the Rosewater trilogy, The Rosewater Redemption, has a cover and a release date in October!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Dang! He's on a roll!

[Kateb]

John Conroe's new book. I have joined his fan site and each day he tells us how many words he is up to. at the moment it is half way through. The suspense is killing me

[Robert]

I just received my copy of Children of Ruin and starting it tonight!

[Raucous]

Not science fiction in the traditional sense but I expect that How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems will be good inspiration for some.

[Pixiegirl105]

Brent Weeks - The Burning White

I was sure that the Blood Mirror was the last one in this series....soooooo excited to find it is not!!!!
