I’ve got high hopes for the Knives Out sequel
Kingdom of the Wicked #3 by Kerri Maniscalco
My co-worker and I were just talking about the final season of, This is Us, that will begin in January.
This pandemic has been going on for about 2 years now, and I just want to be able to go out and about without worrying that the person standing too close to me may be an outbreak monkey. We still have not returned to in person dining or going to movies. I have underlying conditions and live with my senora citizen mother. Even though we have received all the vaccinations, getting sick would still be a crap shoot for us.
Looking forward to more from Erin Nicholas, especially Say It Like You Mane It!
Top of the list are the upcoming Cherry Magic film and T. Kingfisher’s novel Nettle & Bone! And the new Into the Spiderverse film. The first one was excellent and was so deft with it’s medium, I can’t wait for the sequel! Also psyched for new animated Tian Guan Ci Fu episodes and Netflix’s adaptation of Heartstopper.
Media aside, I’ve got a plan for a spring garden planted with seed saved from all my best veg, and a week at a cabin a ferry ride away where I will read all the trash, make a pile of irredeemable fanart, and answer to no one.
I’m most looking forward to Husband Material by Alexis Hall and The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian
I most looking forward to seeing the second season of Bridgerton on Netflix. I’m also looking forward to actually copyrighted some of my art so that I can start producing some of my ideas for products.
She didn’t say if it was coming out in 2022 or if later, but Lucy Parker’s blog has a quick blurb about the 6th book in the London celebrities series (Charlie & Allegra’s story), and I’m going to just tell myself that it will be in 2022.
I am so looking forward to seeing what Season 2 of Bridgerton will bring with Kate and Anthony!
Can’t wait for season 3 of The Mandalorian.
I’ve had a hard year in 2021, and what I’m looking forward to most is to have some peace and quiet and convalescence time.
I am looking forward to the next Australian series of Legomasters . Such clever pieces made from little bits of plastic.
I’m looking forward to maybe being able to take a real vacation. I’m hoping the COVID situation gets better.
We’re looking forward to moving in 2022. New state, new start. It’s going to be an adventure!
The Sandman on Netflix
The Outer Banks with extended family in May. First real vacation in 3 years!
I’m looking forward to actually having paid time off, which I haven’t had for almost 2 years now! The possibility that I can take a mental health day when I need it is a relief.
Staying employed. My company is going through a buy out and I hope I will still have a job in 2022.
I love that color so much too!
Not a romance, but I just saw that Deborah Crombie has a new mystery coming in June 2022 (just in time for my birthday). My “books to buy in 2022” list is woefully short so far, but I know SBTB will help fill it up. The anticipation of new books coming definitely distracted me through this year.
Me and my BFF are both turning 40 next year and we are planning on traveling to Japan for the occasion (our birthdays are only 8 days apart). Cross your fingers for us. *looks at Pandemic dumpster fire*
(That bag is to die for.)
Graduating grad school!
My son is getting married next year.
The next Mercy book by Patricia Briggs!
I’m hoping to be able to do a cruise by myself. After almost two years of working from home, living with my now 3 year old nieces, and no travel, I need a a trip to recharge.
I’m looking forward to doing some yoga certification. I love my practice so much, I’m excited to take the next step.
Looking forward to Veronica Speedwell #7 and new Maisie Dobbs!
I’m looking forward to family vacations again now that my kids are vaccinated!
Lovely satchel!
Travel. Road trip. Vacation. Spending time with out-of-state family. Not just dreaming but doing.
Hoping everyone’s wishes here come true.
To sum up, experiencing sensations of optimism!
I am looking forward to Ruby Fevers by Ilona andrews!
I am hoping to travel more in 2022. I am just grateful to begin another year.
A new job and lots of new books to read
My 20th wedding anniversary! Like all relationships it has been a lot of work to get here, but I Iove him more now than ever.
Electric Idol by Katee Robert……
What a lovely bag. I’m looking forward to the next Juniper Wiles story by Charles De Lint.
I cannot wait to travel with my sister!
Rejoining my choir. By the time circumstances allowed me to return this year, they were way too deep in a performance project for me to jump in so January will be the right time!
We have a trip to Tuscany scheduled with another couple, our good friends. We “won” it at a charity auction that was one of the last things we did before the pandemic. Hoping the situation is decent enough in March that we can go!
I am so excited for the new Guy Gavriel Kay novel, All the Seas of the World, coming out in May.
Downton Abbey: A New Era
I’m looking forward to all the new Marvel movies/shows.
