Melissa Love this list, thanks for sharing!

I'm looking forward to "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini, author of "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns".


message 4: by Pam (new)

Pam | 63 comments I am glad Khaled Hosseini has a new book coming out in 2013. I loved both of his last two books.


message 5: by Kim (new)

Kim The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Gaiman's first adult novel in some time.
The Age Atomic - The sequel to the dark and interesting Empire State.
Broken Homes - The fourth Peter Grant book.
The Daylight War - The third in the Demon Cycle.
The Republic of Thieves - The third Gentleman Bastard book.
Highprince of War - The next in the epic Stormlight Archive books. No doubt it will be over 1000 pages.
The Blood Mirror - The third Lightbringer book. Have to find time to finally read the second though.
River of Stars - Guy Gavriel Kay is a master storyteller.
Magician's End - The last in the Riftwar Saga, an amazing series that has been going for over 20 years.

Lol no I don't think he will be. That's the problem with reading a book in a series too early. It's the long wait in between books. It drives me mad!
