The next Kate Daniels book by Ilona Andrews and the next Fever book by Karen Marie Moning!!
Eternal Life by Dara Horn
I am super looking forward to Lisa Kleypas’ Hello, Stranger
I’m excited by the new Sarah McLean series and anything (anything!) by Courtney Milan.
Sarah MacLean’s next release!
The last Kate Daniels book by Ilona Andrews.
There are some new to me authors I want to read, and I am planning on making a dent into my existing TBR pile – on kindle, audible and my night stand. I have enough to read for years to come – but of course there will be new ones to add, too. For example A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole.
Definitely looking forward to the new Courtney Milan book
Too many to pick just one! But I’ll name the one coming out the soonest: Neogenesis, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s newest book in the Liaden comes out January 2. I got hooked on this series because of SBTB.
I can’t wait for Hello Stranger! Lisa Kleypas 5ever!!
Magic Triumphs.
Looking forward to Jaci Burton’s Shot on Gold, Lisa Kleypas’ Hello Stranger and Lucy Parker’s Making Up.
A Princess in Theory! I read Queen in the North due to recommendations on the royal romance red thread and now I want this one!
Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient!
In looking forward to the newest Patricia Briggs, the continuing saga of the Great Library series, and new chapters from Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell, Charlotte Holmes, and Zoraida Cordova’s Brujas series.
After the Wedding by Courtney Milan.
Just pre-ordered Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen!
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole!
Eloisa James’ Too Wilde to Wed and Courtney Milan’s After the Wedding.
The final book in Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series comes out in March, right? THAT!!
Blood and Iron and Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews (although I am also really sad that the Kate Daniels books are coming to an end). After the Wedding by Courtney Milan (I hope it’s better than Once Upon a Marquess, which was something of a let-down). The next book in Alisha Rai’s Forbidden Hearts series. The first two have been awesome.
A new Patricia Briggs book is always the most part of the new year!
The new Flavia de Luce book!
I’m desperate for A Princess in Theory and the paperback version of It Takes Two to Tumble, among others.
I’m looking forward to The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee. There’s mention of a science girl gang!
Probably I’m looking forward the most to The Wedding Date.
Gnomen, by Nick Harkaway. I adore his writing to the extent that the plot is irrelevant to me (although they usually are intriguing)!
Alisha Rai’s series that starts with Hate to Want You. They’re on my Christmas list. Here’s hoping Santa is nice to me this year
I bought a Beverly Jenkins last time I was in Culver City and haven’t yet read it; it’s my first read once I’m done frantically crafting all these holiday gifts!
Marriage of Inconvenience by Penny Reid and and Making Up by Lucy Parker.
Fitz is the cutest. I love their Instagram accounts for the store and for him.
If I make a significant dent in my TBR I have already purchased, then I want to read A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev (even though it comes 12/26/17, I am going to count it for 2018). My mom and I met her at RT in May and she told us that if we loved Mili from A Bollywood Affair (which we did!), then we should really like the heroine of A Distant Heart.
My most anticipated read for 2018 is the new Charles & Anna book from Patricia Briggs. It’s been a long wait!
Definitely looking forward to Sarah Maclean’s new series. And I cannot wait to read IVAN by Kit Rocha. I want to download that into my brain, stat.
The Merry Spinster by Mallory Ortberg!
“Marriage of Inconvience” Penny Reid. And the new books from Sarah MacLean, Meredith Duran & Lucy Parker.
Into The Fire by Elizabeth Moon, one of my comfort read authors.
A Princess in Theory! That and The Wedding Date
I’m looking forward to trying to tackle the at least some of my ever-growing TBR pile… which is super hard when you work in a thrift shop and get books super cheap.
I’m really looking forward to A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole. So here for royal romances, especially with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!
Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean. So much catnip I don’t even know where to start.
