Anxiously Awaiting, early November 2008

The following are books in a series I am Anxiously Awaiting. They are either part of a series I am already reading, or they are the first book in a new series by an author I already like.

If someone wants to send me an ARC of one of these books, I will read it within a day or two of it arriving (assuming I'm home and I'm not sick or anything), and will get a blog post up of it as soon as I've finished reading it. You may contact me for a shipping address at chained lightning at g mail dot com (remove all of the spaces, of course).

Not all of the series I keep up with have another book listed as coming out. The authors have stated there will be more, but they haven't said when, or given a title name. I've listed those series below.

* Meredith Gentry Series by Laurel K Hamilton
* Bronwyn the Witch series by Candace Havens

Why do publishers insist on releasing so many books on the same day? Look at February 24... how am I supposed to decide which to read first: Kitty Raises Hell, Made to Be Broken, or White Witch Black Curse? Probably WWBC first, the KRH, and then MtbB. It's a tough call though, and I might change my mind when I've got the books in front of me.

March 3rd is an easy decision, Bone Crossed will get read first, no real contest there. Then Deathwish and then Angels' Blood.

But first comes At Graves End at the end of December. The Cat and Bones series is my favorite series and I can't wait for the next installment.
