* Anxiously Awaiting as of Early August 2010

I've marked the 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.

I'm really wondering what is going on with the Meredith Gentry series, it's been 8 months since Divine Misdemeanors came out, and there is still no word what book 9 will be called, or when to expect it. Laurell K Hamilton says she is working on the next Anita Blake book (that would be book 20, I believe), but she hasn't mentioned Merry in some time.

I'm looking forward to Death's Excellent Vacation, and Burning Up, which is a rarity for me since I don't usually care for anthologies. But, there are some stories in both that I've been anticipating a bit more than usual for an anthology.

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 to my knowledge they haven't said when, or given a title name. I've listed those series below.

* Caruthers Sisters series by Candace Havens
* Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K Hamilton
* Daughters of Arianne series by Joey W. Hill

* Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton
* Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich

Below are series I follow, but it is unclear whether there will be more books in the series:

* Bronwyn the Witch series by Candace Havens
* Nadia Stafford series by Kelley Armstrong
* Nature of Desire series by Joey W. Hill
* Felix Gomez series Mario Acevedo
* Spellman series by Lisa Lutz

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.
