* Anxiously Awaiting as of late June 2010

The next Harry Dresden book will be titled Ghost Story. I guess that gives us a clue about what happened to Harry. Not what I was hoping for. I guess we'll find out more when Side Jobs is released in October, since there is supposed to be a short story from Karrin's perspective that will give us an idea of what happens next.

I've marked the other new finds in red, in case you're just looking for the new stuff. I've also put an (e) next to the books that have an excerpt out, clicking the (e) will take you to my listing of excerpts.

You can read an excerpt of many of these books, to see my list of excerpts please go here

If someone wants to send me an ARC of one of the books on my Anxiously Awaiting list, 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 send me a digital version at chained lightning at g mail dot com, or to send a hard copy you may contact me at that email address to ask for a shipping address. If you have an ARC you would like to send that is not on my Anxiously Awaiting list I will attempt to read and review it in a timely manner but it may not be placed topmost in my TBR pile. Feel free to email me to see if I'd be interested in reading something, as well. I've found a few authors this way that I may not have read had I not received a review copy from the publisher. And now I'm hooked on a few of those series, just waiting for the next book.

  1. I'm glad that you count DEATH'S EXCELLENT VACATION among the books you're anxiously awaiting--as one of the editors, I'm pretty excited about it myself--but I have to make a correction. Greg Herren is not one of our contributors.

    The contributors are: Jeff Abbott, L.A. Banks, Jeaniene Frost, Christopher Golden, Chris Grabenstein, Charlaine Harris, Toni L.P. Kelner, Katie MacAlister, A. Lee Martinez, Sharan Newman, Lilith Saintcrow, Sarah Smith, and Daniel Stashower.
