Booking Through Thursday: Anticipation

Booking Through Thursday

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?

Last year there was a ton I was anxious for, but this year I can only think of one I'm really excited about and that's Stephenie Meyer's new series which starts with The Host and will be coming out in May I think. I'm quite sure that it's her writing I like and not just her characters from Twilight, so I'm ready to put that to the test this year.

I'm looking forward to reading War and Peace with a bunch of you. Something I've always wanted to do, so why not this year?

Oh, I just thought of another book I'm excited about.... the next book after Eldest by Christopher Paolini, which still has no name, is supposed to come out in the fall. And it won't be the last yet, because now it's not a trilogoy any more, but a series, since he says there will be a fourth.

Hello?!! Wait a minute, what am I thinking? The next in the Twilight series comes out this year too! Breaking Dawn, this August! Of course I'm looking forward to that too!

Then of course, there's my TBR 2008 list.

And all the new books I got for Christmas.

Okay.... so there's more than one! And there's probably more I'll think of as soon as I hit "publish" but for now... I'm done!
