Books I'm Waiting For...

Grey_Wolf · 04-03-2003, 02:08 PM

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.

***IronParrot*** · 04-03-2003, 07:56 PM

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.

Yeah, me too!

I'm waiting for my church library to get a couple of books by Gilbert Morris.

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.

Aralyn · 04-14-2003, 06:04 PM

*Sigh* I'm alwats waiting for some book or other to come out.

Fearless: Before Gaia
Left Behind: Armegeddon
and Alias:#3

galadriel · 04-25-2003, 01:41 PM

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.

No. According to the printingschedule on the Stephen King site the books will come out like this:

nr 5: nov-03
nr 6: summer of 2004
nr 7: nov-04

Aralyn · 04-28-2003, 12:33 PM

Armegeddon came out!!! YEAH and I just finished reading it. Only two more books to go

Elvellyn · 05-12-2003, 10:41 PM

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?

Aralyn · 05-15-2003, 05:12 PM

YES!!! EXACTLY

Silpion · 05-16-2003, 10:58 PM

"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.

Yes. I fear I will do that when Harry Potter 5 comes out. Still waiting for that...

cassiopeia · 05-21-2003, 05:30 AM

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.

Secrets & Lies - Wouter Basson and South Africa's Chemical & Biological Warfare Programme (This is the autobiography of SA's "Doctor Death" - he was at the helm of the CBW programme during apartheid era SA)

Rabbit-Proof Fence (this should give you an idea)

Quote:

Written by Doris Pilkington, the daughter of the oldest girl, Molly, the story traces the traumatic uprooting of the three sisters from their community in Northwestern Australia. Following a government edict in 1931, black children and children of mixed marriages were gathered up and brought to settlements where they were to be disciplined to abandon their aboriginal heritage, and taught to be culturally white. The three sisters, Molly, Gracie and Daisy quickly planned an escape from the Moore River Native Settlement with its harsh life of padlocks, barred windows, hard cold beds and horrible food. Solitary confinement was doled out as regular punishment and they were forbidden to speak their own language. The girls headed for the nearby rabbit-proof fence that stretches over 1000 miles through the desert toward their home. Their journey lasted over a month, and they survived on everything from emus to feral cats, while narrowly avoiding the police, professional trackers, and hostile white settlers. Their story is a truly moving tale of defiance and resilience.

A Caress of Twighlight (Laurell K Hamilton) - apparently it's a saucy fantasy - will check it out.

Damned sure wish delivery didn't take so long - still waiting for my hardcover copy of The Wee Free Men (Terry Pratchett)

I was toiling with the idea of getting Nightwatch, but I went on an online shopping spree of note (summin like 5 books and about 18 cd's plus a few kiddies stuff for Martin - god I need help

And there was this pretty bracelet that I really liked, but it's costume jewelry, so I can't wear it (God blessed me with an allergy to anything less than 18cr gold - I suppose it's a blessing in disguise

), so I couldn't quite fit it into the budget this time round

......now there is a book everyone should invest in

How To Kill A Credit Card by K T Corruptor

Oh yes, and I'm currently waiting for Micheal Moorcock to get his finger out of his wotsit and finish the Latest Elric books.
