Inspired by other sites, I thought I’d look to 2015 and compile a quick list what I’m really looking forward to, but that list is pretty much just the next installments my favorite series (The Dresden Files, Spenser, Jesse Stone, Mercy Thompson/Alpha and Omega, The Iron Druid Chronicles, Elvis Cole/Joe Pike, Rachel Morgan’s farewell, the new thing in Myke Cole’s world, Red Rising trilogy, Kitty Norville, Carter Ross Mysteries, etc., etc. ), new series/work from guys I really like (Butcher’s Cinder Spires leaps to mind), and a bunch of stuff that’s not even on my radar at all (like Pierce Brown and Wes Chu were at this point last year). That last batch is the most exciting, the big unknown.
Outside of that, the book I’m most looking forward to is:
Armada
by Ernest Cline
I’m pretty sure this is coming out in 2015 (thought 2014, but these things happen), and I will drop just about anything else I’m reading to jump in when it comes out.
On the other hand, the book I know I’m going to read that I’m least looking forward to is:
Archie in the Crosshairs
by Robert Goldsborough
My Review
Not to keep beating up on the guy, because I realize I’m becoming (have become?) one of the jerks from The Missing Chapter — but from the title to the expected execution of the novel, this is just painful.
But I will read every word at the earliest possibility.
