All the colours of the dark by Chris Whitaker - June

Antony Horowitz- Close to Death- new in Hawthorne series - April

Elly Griffiths - The last word - January

Caledonia Road - Andrew O'Hagan - April

The Puzzle Wood - Rosie Andrews -May

the last murder at the end of the world - Stuart Turton - March

Anyone else looking forward to any particular books?

What a useful thread! I didn't realise there was a new Lissa Evans book planned, and even better the possibility of one by Sara Waters.

I'd already heard about Tom Lake so looking forward to that. Also the new Kate Atkinson.

I've pre-ordered The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese, due to arrive in March.

Just seen Monique Roffey has a new one out in May, I've enjoyed some of her others. White Woman on a Bicycle especially.

I’m forward to the new Elif Shafak book. Also Fourteen Days (Margaret Atwood and others), the new Ben Aaronovitch, new Julia Armfield, Last murder at the end of the world and the new Matt Haig.

Also hoping for a new Strike book and last Book of Dust!

the new Helen Grace is out in July.

Bizjustgotreal · 24/12/2023 07:34

Robert Galbraith has had 3 books of Strike out in as many years, so I'm hopeful for book 8 soon!

Dare I hope for Philip Pullman's third book of dust in 2024?

I hope that M J Alridge releases a new Helen Grace book too.

Other than that, I'm considering doing a 'planned purchases only' year, so won't be buying anything that wasn't preplanned.

Another vote for the household @thevegetablesoup I love all of Stacey halls books and can't wait for this one. I've asked for book vouchers for Christmas to buy it. I think it comes out in the Easter hols so ill have time to get stuck in!

Scout2016 · 23/12/2023 19:04

@ChessieFL @adventangelicat very exciting, thank you.

ChessieFL · 23/12/2023 09:37

The one I’m looking forward to that nobody has mentioned yet is the new Marian Keyes - another Walsh sisters follow up due in April I think.

I've got it in my head Lissa Evans has a new one out next year which I'd love to read, but I might be wrong. Or it might be right but it's for children.

Yes I think she has, I saw her post about it on Twitter but I don't think it's her n Amazon yet for pre order.

Also Elizabeth MacNeal has one out called the Burial Plot

pleasejustnawta · 22/12/2023 23:35

The follow up to "Brooklyn " by Colm Toibin. Think it's called "Long Island".

Can't wait for Kate Atkinson and Cara Hunter.

Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

stifflegs · 12/12/2023 20:13

Definitely the new Kate Atkinson!!

CinnamonSweet73 · 12/12/2023 20:09

Kate Atkinson as well

Tana French's new one

Elly Griffiths The Last Word (I think)

Deborah Harkness' The Black Bird Oracle

QueenCoconut · 12/12/2023 18:58

The new Kristin Hannah book and Stephen King’s short stories being published in 2024

TattiePants · 12/12/2023 16:57

I haven't paid attention to forthcoming releases but 2024 is going to be the year I tackle the Wolf Hall trilogy. Also looking forward to Demon Copperhead which I've had for a while and In Memoriam and Black Butterflies if I get them for Christmas.

Still patiently waiting for Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde (Shades of Grey #2)....

Goodreads says expected publication in February 🙏

WeirdPookah · 12/12/2023 12:14

I've already pre-ordered The Betrayal of Thomas True by A.J. West for June!

The Prey by Yrsa Sigurdardottir in May

One of Us is Back by Karen McManus in March

endofthelinefinally · 12/12/2023 07:25

The next Outlander novel.

Cherrypi · 12/12/2023 07:18

Red side story by Jasper Fforde which is the sequel to Shades of grey that I really enjoyed in 2010!

mondaytosunday · 11/12/2023 23:49

I've just ordered Olive Kitteridge and Olive Again by Elizabeth Strout. I read an old review in the Times about her latest book (not reviewed well) but he highlighted how great Olive K was so thought I'd treat myself!

Sharpkat · 11/12/2023 23:11

@thevegetablesoup I am starting the Chris Hammer tomorrow on The Pigeonhole. Shall update you in 11 days.

Southeastdweller · 11/12/2023 23:01

For me too, the Kate Atkinson, although I wasn't crazy about her two previous books.

Also:

End of Story - A.J Finn

I've heard rumours on Booktube that Sarah Waters has a new book out next year.
