Books I'm Waiting For...
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time nr:s 10 - 12.
Stephen King's Dark Tower nr:s 5 - 7. The last book of the NJO-series. Terry Brooks' part three of the "Journey..." (that will have to do with Shannara-books for me) ...and that's about it. |

Please say Wheel of Time is actually going to end with 12? Then I might actually get back to reading it... I quit after #7 because it was just dragging on forever and ever.
As for what I'm looking forward to: well, I'd have to admit quite honestly that I don't follow current literature so much anymore. Too much older stuff to catch up on first before I start planning ahead. Maybe it's also because I generally don't read series fiction. Although there's the next Harry Potter...

I'm waiting for the next Harry Potter too. As well as the next book by some Australian fantasy authors.
Fortunately, though, the next 20 or so books on my list are all Tolkien-related, hence are already published, so I don't need to wait. |

If that rumor I read at this forum about a newly discovered translation by Tolkien of Beowulf is true, then I am anxiously awaiting that. Otherwise, most of my favorite books were all written hundreds or thousands of years ago, so I don't really know whom I should be waiting for. I stay so out of the loop regarding current authors. Basically, I arrive at the public library where I work and on the days we get new shipments I'm pleasantly surprised by whatever new arrivals happen to strike my fancy.

I'm waiting for Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets to come out in paperback. I'm a cheapie.
And, of course, Harry Potter. Last week, I saw the cover art on amazon.com and got unduly excited over it. Sigh.

Don't you hate it when you wait for ever to get a book and then read the whole thing in a day or two?

"The Vanished Man: A Lincoln Rhym Novel" which is out but I reserved it at the library (I am number 2 on the wait list). I also have reserved "Stolen" by Kelley Armstrong (number 3) and "Club Dead" by Charlaine Harris (number 4). I have a feeling I will end up borrowing all three books at once. I am also waiting for "To the Nines: A Stephanie Plum Novel" by Janet Evanovich and, of course, the new Harry Potter book.

I just finished reading the first four Harry Potter books (I read them about three years ago but I'd forgotten them), so now I'm waiting anxiously for the next one. I'm debating whether to buy it (it costs a whopping $45) or order it from the library.
