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.

Other ones I'm looking forward to are the new Bridget Jones book, and the new book by Ian McEwan.

Wrath - John Gwynne

jan the last book of The Passage series is out, I've read it Grin

A new Ian McEwan you say? Interesting. Adds to list Smile

Ian McEwan's new novel out next month, Nutshell. I loved Atonement and The Cement Garden and The Comfort of Strangers but hated the protagonist in Saturday and felt indifferent to Black Dogs. Interested in what this one brings.

I am looking forward to the new Tama Janowitz book. She had a lot of novels out in the 80s but had dwindled a bit until now. The new book is a memoir.

Another vote for The Mirror and the Light.

The next 'Jack Cafferey' (have huge crush on him) novel by Mo Hayder. No sign of it this year? Wonder why?

The next 'Charlie Parker' John Connelly novel, but that's not until next April. Boo.

I used to really look forward to a new Philippa Gregory, but they're just getting more and more lite Sad

Another vote for The Mirror and the Light - I just wish they could give us a clue WHEN! I never read hardbacks (like to slump and squish myself down to read and not hold something heavy) but I will have to make an exception for this one.

madamehooch · 26/07/2016 21:00

The new Jilly Cooper. ..

HappydaysArehere · 11/07/2016 09:54

Waiting for C.J. Sansom to write another Shardlake book.

Cherrypi · 30/06/2016 18:20

Kate Atkinson is helping write the tv show the catch at the moment.

bringonthetrumpets · 28/06/2016 21:28

Next Outlander book in the series #9. (I know. Obsessed.)

The Thinking Woman's Guide to Magic by Emily Croy Barker. It's a trilogy but it's taking a realllllly long time to get #2 out.

Went and ordered The Chronicles of St. Mary's. Excited to get into a new series!

TaraCarter · 28/06/2016 21:02

So, so many. The next Fitz and the Fool book by Robin Hobb, then book 6 in Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon. I'm vaguely fascinated* to know what happens in book 10 of Charley Davidson by Darynda Jones, which has just come out, but I don't think the library will have a copy yet.

Apparently Win by Vera Nazarian is imminent, but the author has had some set backs to her health. I'm also restraining myself from starting the Millennium's Rule set by Trudi Canavan until book 3 is released, simply because I'm waiting on so many already.

Another (published) work I'm waiting on at the library is Warheart by Terry Goodkind, although at this point I'm less interested in the story and more grimly curious how low his writing may have dipped in the concluding volume.

*Not quite a fan, sorry OP. Grin

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 26/06/2016 14:09

I've ordered the 1st St Mary's!

BaconAndAvocado · 14/06/2016 22:09

I'm waiting for the new Kate Atkinson book.........not sure if she knows she has to write it yet Grin

(Does anyone know if KA is actually going to write another book soon?)

BagelGoesWalking · 08/06/2016 13:06

... and off to google Charley Davidson and Ilona Andrews

BagelGoesWalking · 08/06/2016 13:02

Thanks again for the Chronicles of St. Mary's recommendation. Eventually got them through my library. Whizzed through the 1st one in a day and am on the second.

Thoroughly enjoyable mix of plot, characters, history, fun and with a sprinkling of good sex! Great Grin

RaisingSteam · 19/05/2016 23:37

New Shetland is coming out later in the year IIRC.. Cold Earth by Ann Cleeves.

I bloody love the Kate Daniels books by Ilona Andrews, Janthejam. :)

Also their Innkeeper series. Trying to read their installments of the chapters that they put up on fb on Fridays but I can't really get into it that way so am waiting for book three to be done and published instead.

I've preordered the new Tim Moore book. Some of his stuff makes me laugh out loud.
I was pleased to see a new Invisible Library novel will be out in December too.

deathtoheadlice · 16/05/2016 06:10

The new colour book by Jasper Fforde!

JanTheJam · 16/05/2016 06:03

Eeeeeeee! Finally someone on MN who is reading the Ilona Andrews books Charley

I can't bloody wait. Also book 2 in the burn for me series. There is a delay though as all the books are being re branded after the fucking woeful cover images.

Also whatever is next in the Mercy Thompson series. Agh, so good.

And the next Immortals after dark.

And the Justin Cronin. So good as an audio book.

BestIsWest · 16/05/2016 05:58

Gah, wrong thread, that was written in 1933

BestIsWest · 16/05/2016 05:56

Anyone ever read Freeman Wills Croft? His Hog's Back Mystery is 99p on Kindle Daily Deal. Is it worth a read?

MermaidofZennor · 15/05/2016 22:45

Just had a look on Amazon and it's saying publication date is 25th August 2016 and is available for pre-order.

MermaidofZennor · 15/05/2016 22:33

It has crossed my mind that maybe Ben Aaronovitch isn't well, or perhaps is just really struggling with the writing. Whatever the reason, I wish him well and look forward to the new novel when it's ready :)
