I'm happy that the new St Mary's book is out today. I love a good fantasy book, as reflected in my preorder list, which also has...

The Curse of Tenth Grave (A Charley Davidson novel, hence my username as I love these books) by Daryna Jones. An 11th book is also out in Jan.

And, much awaited, the new Kate Daniels book by Ilona Andrews, Magic Binds.

The Mirror and the Light - final book in Hilary Mantel's Cromwell trilogy - and The Winds of bloody Winter. Gah! C'mon George R R Martin.

Oh and another Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) Cormeran Strike book please.

The next in Ben Aaronvich's 'Rivers of London' series.
'Winds of Winter' the 6th Game of Thrones series, but that could be another ten years or never.......
Just discovered the St Mary's series -so excited 'cos there are lots of them and I'm only just halfway through the first! Already hooked.

Yes to the new Ben Aaronovitch. I am debating whether to spend the £8 on the Hanging Tree when it comes out on the 11th, but all his other books I have on the kindle so will wait I think. Says August for the kindle version. Boooo!

The last/10th book of Bernard Cornwell's Warrior Chronicles - he's finished it.
6th book of Song of Ice and Fire/GoT series, which will probably never appear.

Itching to get my hands on that Ben Aaronovitch novel. I'm sure I read somewhere originally it was due for publication November last year and then it got delayed to May this year. Is he struggling? I love those novels - so much fun.

Like Southeast - I'd like to read the third volume of Alan Bennett's diaries.

Can't think of anything else - need to bury myself in pile of unread books I bbc already have.

Zadie Smith has a new novel out this year (September I think) which I am massively excited for - it's called Swing Time.

Also, The Mirror and The Light, although I do and don't want to read it (I don't want Cromwell to die.)

I'm looking forward to Lisa Jewell's new book I Found You. I didn't like her last one, The Girls, but it's the only one of hers I haven't liked so I'm looking forward to the new one.

charley the new st. Mary's book is brilliant - I laughed, I cried, I almost held my breath I was slightly freaking out.

I think I'm looking forward to the last Justin Cronin book - city of mirrors in June (although released on Kindle the end of May)
