* Anxiously Awaiting as of mid August 2011

 

The red text shows that something is new or changed since the last Anxiously Awaiting list -- a link to Amazon, a release date, an excerpt, etc.  I've also put an (e) next to the books that have an excerpt out, clicking the (e) will take you to my list of excerpts.

I am pretty excited about One Grave at a Time, the next Cat and Bones book, though I'm much much much more excited about the next October Daye book, One Salt Sea. The end of September and the first of October have a whole lot of books being released, I should try to clear my calendar. Or beg for advanced copies so I can space them out. Yeah, I like that latter idea better.

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 (teaser in email about upcoming news)
* Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris
* Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews

* Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

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

* Nadia Stafford series by Kelley Armstrong
* Nature of Desire series by Joey W. Hill
* Daughters of Arianne series by Joey W. Hill
* Felix Gomez series Mario Acevedo
* Spellman series by Lisa Lutz (Spring 2012?)

* Anya Kalinczyk / Embers series by Laura Bickle

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 -- and now I'm hooked on a few of those series, just waiting for the next book.
