Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments I've been wondering about Bank's new series. I couldn't get into her "Vampire Huntress" or "Crimson Moon" series. I stopped on book #1 for both - unfinished. Not like me not to push through, but at the time I didn't feel like it and have never tried again.

I'll hold off on that one until I get some feedback on it, I guess.

I'm so happy we get two LoTU this year! Can't wait! Anxious for Paris' book, which will be #9, per author's site. But, I think both Amun's and Striders' should be good.

Really anxious for the second Hoodoo too! That first one was a super fun read.

Sandra | 25908 comments I haven't tried Banks yet, but a very pretty cover & good blurb just sucks me right in.

Yay, LoTU, the other one isn't showing up yet on BD.

And double yay for Hoodoo!!

And who doesn't love some dragonkin. Got the authors nl yesterday & she's only just finished it & handed it in.


message 55: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Oh, then I'll be interested to hear what you think of it. Hopefully it's better (for me) that the others. The cover and blurb do make it enticing. :)

Yeah, I keep checking for it too.

Yippeeee! Hoodoo! :D

Gotta, gotta start that series.

message 57: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments I keep forgettin' to post mine here. I pre-ordered both of Keri's too! Yay!

I'm interested to see how Estep's YA series makes out. Nice to have two released in one year though! Sweet!

I added First Grave to my wishlist. Sounds good.


Charlotte (Buried in Books) | 557 comments Slightly bummed - Timeless has been put back to March 2012.


message 59: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Bummer, but at least we've still got Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4) by Gail Carriger to look forward to.

At least now I know why it isn't coming up on BD.


Charlotte (Buried in Books) | 557 comments How on earth did I miss this one as well:

One Grave at a Time

2 Night Huntress books in the same year!! Unless it gets bumped.....


message 61: by [deleted user] (new)

Sweet! Hopefully it won't get bumped.

Ahhhhhh, Kiss of Snow .... come to me NOW! :D

EEEEKKKKK! I may just crack and buy HB....


message 64: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments OMG! April 2012?! WTH? Why is the PB coming out so much later than the HC? No fair! Oh man, I'm gonna have to crack and buy the HC!


message 65: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments This is the only hc I've ever pre-ordered. I'm pretty happy right about now.


message 66: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Yeah, I guess so. :p Actually I have all the Mercy books in HC, many of the Sookie and Rachel Morgan books as well. Hated waiting for the PB. So, no reason for not to get KS in HC. Esp since the wait will otherwise be hella-bad with everyone else on GR reading away, I wouldn't be able to stand it!


message 67: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Actually, the notice that PB was being pushed from Aug to April came out a few weeks ago... Today's is that there is a delay beyond that: previous "earliest" date was 4/12, now it's 4/21....


message 68: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments KOS happy news! There's a new, and cheaper, paperback version available now...arrival date in NOVEMBER...I can wait that long. YAY! Click! Safely ordered now!


message 69: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Hooray!!!!


message 70: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Yay!! Off to order mine too! Thanks for the great news! :D


message 71: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (gravy) | 530 comments I rarely pre-order because I'm impatient. But, in a moment of weakness that included a coupon and free shipping, I pre-ordered the following:
The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf (Naked Werewolf, #2) by Molly Harper Eternal Rider (Lords of Deliverance, #1) by Larissa Ione Vampire Mine (Love at Stake, #10) by Kerrelyn Sparks The Darkest Secret (Lords of the Underworld, #7) by Gena Showalter !!!


message 72: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments They always get ya with those coupons, yah? :) Got some good ones there. Can't wait for Larissa's new one and the next two LoTU books this year! Yay!


message 73: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Can't wait to hear what you think of Larissa's new series. Have put off ordering it until some people I "know" get reviews up...yep, that's a hint to let interested parties know if it's a must-read or what!


message 74: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments :) I plan to read that one as soon as I get my hands on it. So, I'll let ya know. Interested to see how it compares to her Demonica series.


message 75: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (gravy) | 530 comments Yeah, I'm excited about Larissa's new series. She didn't let me down with the Demonica series, so I'm hoping that continues with the new series. Ugh, the wait is painful.
This is why I don't pre-order.


message 76: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments That's exactly how I feel, Kimberly :) "She didn't let me down with the Demonica series, so I'm hoping that continues with the new series."

I can understand that, but I pre-order so I don't forget...as soon as a new book in one of "my" series pops up, I put it in the basket. It's like Christmas spread across the year! (positive thinking so I don't become a maniac while being FORCED to wait!)


message 78: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments It's way cheaper for me here in Aus to pre-order as well I often get the book faster. But yes, much more conscious of the waiting time.


message 79: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments The prices for the pre-orders are often better here, too (on pre-orders).


message 80: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Saving money here, *innocently smirking* LOL

The Chase (Fast Track, #4) by Erin McCarthy Infernal Affairs (OSI) by Jes Battis Touch If You Dare by Stephanie Rowe One Grave at a Time (Night Huntress, #6) by Jeaniene Frost Shadow Kin (The Half-Light City, #1) by M.J. Scott


message 81: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Ah, so sweet, you didn't have to buy me Shadow Kin. ;)


I didn't know #2 of Stephanie's new series is already listed. Gotta add that one too. I need to read #1 too. :)


message 82: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (last edited Mar 16, 2011 04:52PM) (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments I've got the next Night Huntress on my pre-order list, too.

Also got a refund g/c from amazon on my books that were supposed to arrive this week. Just leaving it there and hoping I'll be able to use that money to pay for them again in a couple of weeks! (Because I paid, it probably means my books are sitting in a warehouse somewhere near Tokyo, and they just can't get deliveries out...)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments :D Thanks! Green for a day - Irish all the way. Or maybe not ... family hx is kinda unclear. LOL!

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments So my current pre-order list is:
While I am nervous and antsy waiting for Shadowfever, I thought it would be fun to list the pre-orders we are all doing so far this year. This is my pre-order list so far:

Ghost Story (Dresden Files, No. 13) by Jim Butcher Hard Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #4) by Chloe Neill Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews Nightfall (Dark Age Dawning #1) by Ellen Connor Hunt the Moon (Cassandra Palmer, #5) by Karen Chance A Dance with Dragons (Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin Hounded The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne



And waiting for these to be available on the Kindle or for pre-sale: Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires, #5) by Chloe Neill Aftermath (Sirantha Jax, #5) by Ann Aguirre Fair Game (alpha & omega 3) Envy (Fallen Angels #3)

And I will buy this one from audible next week:
Breaking the Rules (Troubleshooters, #16) by Suzanne Brockmann

I want to read these, but I just don't want to pay the high ebook price and will get them from the library, if they were 9.99 I would buy them:

Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, #11) by Charlaine Harris Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #9) by J.R. Ward


message 90: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Great list, Regina! Off the top of my head, I know I've got these pre-ordered:

Hard Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #4) by Chloe Neill Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, #11) by Charlaine Harris

I'll have to see if I've missed any others.


message 91: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I am tempted to pre-order Dead Reckoning but am holding myself back due to price and I am first on the list at the library. But it is hard not to buy it!


message 92: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments LOL! I wasn't going to buy it, then I changed my mind, but just left in my cart, then changed my mind again, but eventually clicked PRE-ORDER. I hope it's a good one. I need more "old" Eric. >:)


message 93: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Me too!


message 94: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Here's hopin'!


message 95: by Jenny (new)

Jenny Schwartz (jenny_schwartz) I've pre-ordered Con & Conjure (Raine Benares, #5) by Lisa Shearin and it's nearly here! I might have to dash off and pre-order "Kiss of Snow" if it's in paperback in Nov. Can't justify hardback prices -- or room in shelves! Also have Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews Hexed by Ilona Andrews on pre-order :) And "Burning Lamp" paper copy is in the mail!


message 96: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yay! I've got all those too Jenny, awesome list!


message 97: by Jenny (new)

Jenny Schwartz (jenny_schwartz) LOL Great readers think alike!


message 98: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Fun, fun, fun...hope your paper copy arrives soon!


message 99: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Got one of my preorders yesterday and I'm shocked.
The Land of Painted Caves (Earth's Children, #6) by Jean M. Auel Reason I'm shocked is I paid $5-83 thinking I was buying the MMP and I really bought the limited edition hc. Whoot! There is some weird webcam thingy in the gold seal and if you log on to the publishers website and hold it up to your webcam on the computer Ayla appears on the book cover, I think.

Other preorders I've ordered
Hounded (Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne Hexed (Iron Druid Chronicles. #2) by Kevin Hearne Hammered (Iron Druid Chronicles, #3) by Kevin Hearne The Hidden Goddess by M.K. Hobson Bound by Moonlight (Moonlight, #4) by Nancy Gideon Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward
