The last thing I need to do is book browse, and it's not really all that easy to do online, but I found myself earlier with a little time to kill, so guess what I have here. Yes, a list of new books that are coming out in the next few months. A few things to go on my wishlist:
Elegy for Eddie: A Maisie Dobbs Mystery, Jacqueline Winspear (due March 2012) -- haven't a clue what this one is about, but I love Maisie, so I'm sure I'll be reading it
Believing the Lie, Elizabeth George (due January 2012) -- despite a few rocky novels previously I am still a great fan of Inspector Lynley and especially DS Havers, and like Maisie Dobbs's mysteries, I've read them all
Hit Lit: Cracking the Code of the Twentieth Century's Biggest Bestsellers, James Hall (due April 2012) -- love books about books and/or reading
Uninvited Guests, Sadie Jones (due April 2012) -- I seem to collect books by Sadie Jones but haven't yet read any of them...and another to look forward to (maybe I'll go pick one up off my pile this weekend)
Death Comes to Pemberly, P.D. James (due November 2011) -- a recreation of the world of Pride and Prejudice? If anyone can do it, I bet PD James can
The Faces of Angels, Lucretia Grindle (due December 2011) -- mystery set in Florence
Clair de Lune, Jetta Carleton (due March 2012) -- 1941 Missouri
The Heroine's Bookshelf: Life Lessons from Jane Austen to Laura Ingalls Wilder, Erin Blakemore (due November 2011)
Dark and Lonely Place, Edna Buchanan (due November 2011) -- "saga of star-crossed lovers across generations"
Underground Time, Daphne de Vigan (due November 2011) -- set in Paris this is a tale of "urban isolation"
Nights of Awe, Harri Nykanen (due April 2012) -- crime thriller set in Helsinki, Finland (haven't yet read any Finnish crime)
