Last week we talked about the books you liked best from 2007. So this week, what with it being a new year, and all, we’re looking forward….
What new books are you looking forward to most in 2008? Something new being published this year? Something you got as a gift for the holidays? Anything in particular that you’re planning to read in 2008 that you’re looking forward to? A classic, or maybe a best-seller from 2007 that you’re waiting to appear in paperback?
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
You know, I haven't given this question much thought before. I'm looking forward to reading a lot this year but I'm not sure what that will be. I'm more of a reader who enjoys walking into the bookstore without a plan. In my boring little life, this is all the excitement I get!
Although I read a lot of classics, there are a few authors, still living, who get me running to the bookstore when I hear they've published something new. If Diana Gabaldon releases anythng new, I'll be drooling over that. Ami McKay is writing The Virgin Cure. Hopefully, that will be out soon. Karen E Olson will have her latest installment of the Annie Seymour mysteries in November. Looking forward to that.
Oh, those books from last year! So many that I intended to read last year (not to mention the year before and the year before that) are still waiting for me. One of these days. . .
ReplyDeleteStill some unread books from last year? Really? Um, me too, just one or two...!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I’ll be reading, either, beyond the task of getting my TBR pile under control. Which is of course impossible, since whenever I get close I go to another book sale! Maybe there's some law of the universe which states that a TBR pile can never equal zero.
I'm just the opposite---I tend to prefer the modern stuff to classics. Of course, my most-anticipated books right now are cookbooks, which is an altogether different bird...
ReplyDeleteoh I do hope Diana Galbadon releases a new Claire and Jamie book!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading
Sigh. Too many books, too less time!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few new books I'm really looking forward to this year!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading you on google reader, so I didn't see the new duds. Very nice, bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteLots of great books still left to read. And miracle of miracles, it isn't storming today.
Yeah, I will be looking forward to Karen E Olson's books too. And I always love to explore new authors... in fact I'm open to anything as long as the books interest me! Happy BTT!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those authors other than Cather. I'm hoping to read more of her.
ReplyDeleteWandering into the bookstore without a plan can be heaven, but I have to be careful sometimes or else I'll come home with something I already own.
ReplyDeleteThat's about what I had to say to this week's question. Happy BTT.
