What upcoming books are you excited about?

[venusunfolding]

So what books are supposed to be released this year that you just can't wait to get your hands on?

For me I'm very excited about a few already.

Francesca Lia Block has a new book called Ruby coming out in July.

Fanne Flagg has a new book called Can't Wait to Get to Heaven coming out the end of June.

I know there's two stephen king novels coming out soon that I can't wait to read, but other than that.. I guess I'm not sure what's all coming out. Whenever the next HP comes out will be good.

• The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster

Yes indeedy. Can't wait.

The Brooklyn Follies is already out. Or are we just talking about books on our TBR piles, irrespective of when they were published?

I'm trying not to get excited about anything published this year, as I'm officially on a self-imposed book-buying-embargo. However Kurt Vonnegut's A Man Without a Country has to be pretty essential. I'd also like to read Edward St Aubyn's recently reissued trilogy Some Hope before I read the sequel (which I already have ) Mother's Milk.

This is a conspiracy...

 

[lenny nero]

I'm hoping that James Ellroy's next book comes out this year. It's been a long 5 years since The Cold Six Thousand.

• The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
  

I got that already, though the cover did say something like "advanced reading copy".

I'm looking forward to....hmmm I'll have to get back to you on that.

Yes, I should explain: I live in a paperback universe. I am assuming it's out sometime this year in this format.

 

[Shade]

And I hate to stick it to you, steffee, but The Ninth Life of Louis Drax and Kafka on the Shore are also out, in paperback too!

Among others - Cell (Stephen King), The Old Wine Shade (Martha Grimes) and the new Jo Bannister mystery, which I'm impatiently awaiting from Amazon UK.
