I don't understand. It's free shipping world-wide, including to the U.S. What could be better?

Oh, I know! I didn't know that's where you ordered it.

I am really looking forward to King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence, I really can't wait to see what Jorge is going to do next.

Finally a date from Amazon! Every time I'd looked it just said that the date wasn't set yet! Woo-hoo!

Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch, # 3 installment in the Peter Grant series... It's an awesome series that really is going somewhere with it's worldbuilding.. It's suppose to come out around march..

Cold Days by Butcher, 14th contribution to the evergrowing saga of Harry Dresden, the coolest man alive ! Don't know any date, but i expect it around next summer.. With Marsters back as narrator, it will be EPIC !! If Dresden was real i would drop out of law school, pack my stuff, and take the first plane to Chicago, where i would pledge my eternal allegiance to Harry Dresden.. Then i would become his apprentice, hook up with Molly Carpenter (which i'm sure is insanely hot !!), and use my awesome powers to save the world whenever it is needed.. (Until finally when Dresden has taught me all he can, i would go darkside, kill the entire winter and summer Court, and take over Faerie..)
But until then, i will wait, very impatiently, for the next book..

I'm also waiting for the last book in Patrick Rothfuss' kingkiller chronicle, The Doors of Stone..
I think that a lot of what Rothfuss have f*cked up in the two previous books, will be forgotten if he does the last one right..
The prose and the world he has nailed pretty brilliantly, but the plot structure and the development of characters is totally flawed..

The book JK Rowling have been talking about writing, Still in the HP-universe, is also something i'm excited about.. It really is a big gamble to risk the legacy of Harry Potter by reopening the universe, but considering how superb JK Rowling have been previously i'm sure it's going to be LEGENDARY !
But, like Rothfuss next book, it will probably be long out in the future before any of us gets to read it..

Really looking forward to Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.

What is this thing about reopening the HP universe? I thought she was staying away from it and not doing anything else with HP anymore.

[Brandt]

It's suppose to be about Dudleys son.. http://inewp.com/?p=2601

I'm looking forward to the following books:

The Minority Council
Whispers Under Ground
Caine's Law
The Doors of Stone
The Daylight War
The Daemon Prism
Strangeness & Charm

There's a lot of potentially very good books coming out in the next year to look forward to. Now we just have to wait....

Yes, now Amazon is listing it in the US as being available 10/27!

Winds of Winter, even though I know it is still far off :)

I've just discovered that at last, Paul Kearney has got his new publishers Solaris to release book 3 of The Sea Beggars trilogy, which started with The Mark of Ran and then continued with This Forsaken Earth which was last published in 2007 and the then publisher which I think was Bantam decided to drop the series before completion! I was very disappointed as it was a great fantasy series based at sea and it was left on a cliffhanger in book two. Doing a Google search it is confirmed Book 3 titled Storm of the Dead is to be released as part of an omnibus release of all three books together in late 2012 published by Solaris. can't wait!!

Cold Days

Some of the books I'm looking forward to this year:

I love his short fiction and this looks really good.

I loved the first book and can't wait for this second book.
Great writer and great series.
Love this series.
Another favorite writer and series.

The Traitor Baru Cormorant I've seen this on some lists of books to look for.

Another book getting good buzz.
I hope this is as good as it looks!

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Oooohhhhh, The Liar's Key is due out in June, woohoo.

Don't know of any. I may be in school so I may have to stay away from sci-fi for a while

Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand -- I just heard about it on the Tor.com Coode Street podcast.

When the young members of a British acid-folk band are compelled by their manager to record their unique music, they hole up at Wylding Hall, an ancient country house with dark secrets. There they create the album that will make their reputation, but at a terrifying cost: Julian Blake, the group’s lead singer, disappears within the mansion and is never seen or heard from again.

Now, years later, the surviving musicians, along with their friends and lovers—including a psychic, a photographer, and the band’s manager—meet with a young documentary filmmaker to tell their own versions of what happened that summer. But whose story is true? And what really happened to Julian Blake?

And I do love me some Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention ...

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Love getting new books :)

Ah, I'd seen the name Wylding Hall mentioned by someone on Twitter, but I didn't realise what it was about. That sounds amazing!

Looking forward to , and

The Hanging Tree by Aaronovitch. Am currently re-reading all 5 books so far, had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed them!

Thanks for mentioning this; I didn't know a new Peter Grant book was coming out this year!

[Pinkie_pie]

I'm looking forward to Queen of Fire Anthony Ryan's Raven's Shadow 3 it comes out in July, it's been a couple of months since I read the first two (accidentally - I avoid reading unfinished series I am so impatient - but when seeing the last book of the series had 5 stars here in goodreads thought it was a completed series, you had to see me when I finished the 2nd and realised there was no 3rd book...)
can't wait!! :)

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Probably looked like me, searching the last page for the conclusion to Martin's saga, scratching my head thinking but this was a trilogy...

[Heather]

This is a strange thread as it started in 2009 so what people are waiting for came out a long time ago!

I really liked Blood Song so much! I finished both books like in a week! I even reread the second one I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

I've kept notes of things that need discussion and cliffhangers, when you start we can talk about everything :)

[Tara]

I'm looking forward to the release of The Thorn of Emberlain by Scott Lynch. I loved the first 3 books and can't wait for this one! It should be out this September.
Another one I'm looking forward to is Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. I still have to re-read the Alloy of Law before this one comes out in the end of the year.

Awesome, cant wait.

[Evan]

As far as 2015 books go, I am still looking forward to Queen of Fire, Half a War, The Thorn of Emberlain, and The Dread Wyrm. Tentatively looking at reading the Aeronauts Windlass when it hits.

I will have all the reading to do in Jan 2016 though. The Blood Mirror, Calamity, Morning Star and Spiders War.

Half a War which just got out! And some series that I want to start when they are entirely finished. Pushed them down my priority list so not sure anymore which ones hah!

[Yordan]

Upcoming fantasy novels this month, courtesy to the guys in the bestfantasybooks.com forums: image

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Something terrible seems to have happened. I've broken up for the school holidays with a lovely month off work but Brandon has met me down. Yes, Mr Sanderson I'm looking at you. How do I put off writing my essay without my Stormlight part 3? I know I spent last year's holiday reading them. I know he works like a slave to keep me entertained with various books throughout the year BUT something has definitely gone terribly wrong!!

Hang on, is this an alternative reality? Where it wouldn't be too much of a shock to find that Martin has finis... No, I just can't type it.

[Jaden]

cant wait for the new robin hobb book the be released probably my favourite author because i began reading her works early. Wont read the new series though till all of them are done cant stand waiting

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

Oh...YES!


I've beena little slow on keeping up, though.
Still have to read the first of that series.

Fool's Assassin. ??

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I'm not starting it until it's finished! I've not read that soldier set.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

I still have to finish the Liveship Traders.
I would think that is more important than Soldier Son Chronicles. I don't think the Fool is in those.
:)

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Get reading it! Then do the golden fool set then the dragons. Try not to be put off by the first!

[Famine]

Robin Hobb's next installment for her The Fool's Assasin trillgy!

[Margret]

LOL Helen your Sanderson/Martin crisis is making me chuckle. I often have the same dilemma. 2 weeks until the next Throne of Glass book is released and I'm feeling itchy. What's making me feel very restless is that Morning Star (Red Rising #3) isn't released until January and I cannot find a scifi book that will sate my desires.

I find myself needing stories diabolical and lots of twists and turns, gray morals included!

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Lol, isn't it annoying. I've not read the red riding books, they are on my list mind.
