Upcoming releases
Besides being bossy and horribly selfish (Trollop wants to add hard-headed as a mule but I REFUSE TO SAY THAT—not true anyway *hmph*), I have the tendency to be obsessive. Usually I obsess about foods I love (like Nutella), my hair (which I cut myself when I’m bored :/), shoes (especially those that slip as I have fucking big feet *sniff*) and of course, books.
Every year I make a list of the authors I read and the books they have coming out (oh, shut up!). Most of them I don’t buy straight away; I’ll wait 3 or 4 months to get a copy from the UBS. (Why, yes, I’m cheap with books—they’re fucking expensive, ya know?) Some I actually countdown to the release date (like J.K. Rowling), others (like Paullina Simons, Jennifer Donnelly) make me curse bookstores from here till kingdom come for not stocking their titles, and then I have to resort to special ordering—which usually costs me like an arm! UN-FUCKING-FAIR.
Now, since I’m a most obliging Harlot ;) instead of just showing you my list, I decided to include the authors you guys might like.

This is a really good list Harlot...what I want is the list of the books you've already read and went crazy for...i.e. TBH.
Coz, you haven't disappointment me yet...even though you hate my other favorite OUTLANDER (no Jaime is NOT an abusive fuck! HE's just right for his time) besides it's fiction. OK?
So, do you have an ultimate favorite and second to ultimate favorite book list?
1/31/2007 07:19:00 PM
Shosh!
My ultimate favorite? Hmm, this is hard to answer LOL. :P I mean THE BRONZE HORSEMAN is my uber number 1 of course, but HP is my fave series.
As for the book list, i have to think about that first LOL but i have to mention Jennifer Donnelly. I absolutely totally loooove her. THE TEA ROSE is one of my favorite books evah. Her YA book A NORTHERN LIGHT is also fabulous.
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, brilliant brilliant book. Susan Carroll is another fave of mine. Last year i discovered Juliet Marillier's DAUGHTER OF THE FORREST and it's absolutely amazing. There's also HERE BE DRAGONS by Sharon Kay Penman which I think you'll love. :)
I know you read Patterson. I've yet to read him. Oh, have you read NEW MOON already?
1/31/2007 07:47:00 PM
Donnelly is wonderful. And I will eventually get around to reading The Tea Rose, hopefully sometime this year. I don't know why I keep putting it off -- I think I'm worried it won't hold up to A Northern Light.
That's quite a list! I think my 2007 list has like 5 books. LOL. I can't be bothered to look most of them up or write them down. I'm not sure how I feel about SEP and Kleypas in HC; I don't know if I like/trust them that much...
Is the Libba Bray book connected to A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels? I think I saw somewhere that it's supposed to be a trilogy.
I emailed someone in the know re Eclipse and apparently, there isn't a date set yet for its release. They're waffling between August/September or October. The sooner the better, I say ;-) .
I started Memoirs of a Geisha, but never got around to finishing it. I watched the movie, which was okay. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it either.
1/31/2007 07:59:00 PM
This is a great list! I am already looking forward to a few and I wrote some of them up on my calandar as reminders.
Angels Fall was really good last night. Atleast i thought so. MAN was the hero HOT and the few kissings scenes had me fanning myself for a few moments. ;-)
Overall I give it a four out of five star rating.
1/31/2007 08:06:00 PM
Dance,
Oh this list is uber long even for me LOL. My actual list is only half of this. I just added authors whose books you guys might miss or something. :)
SWEET FAR THING is the 3rd book. I really liked this series--not as good as SM's TWILIGHT of course. As for TEA ROSE, you have to read it! :P
You know, the only HC release i will surely get is HP. LOL I don't care if it's freaking expensive or not. Already pre-ordered it actually, eheh. Well there's no way i can wait for the paperback issue really..
I loved MEMOIRS. Speaking of the movie, oh LOL, i just remember i haven't seen it yet!
Milan!
Oh, thanks for that. From what i gathered everyone is waiting for MONTANA SKY as that's a well-loved NR book, not to mention John Corbett is there. Have to admit though, not a fan of Aidan at all.. (Though loved that pic with Nora. They look so cute! :D)
1/31/2007 08:26:00 PM
Great list! I noted some of these releases, thanks Harlot.
I was wondering what happened to Lisa Valdez's Patience. It was supposed to be released last December. Wonder what happened.
1/31/2007 08:45:00 PM
I am really looking forward to Lisa Kleypas' first contemporary. I really hope she won't end up like Julie Garwood who lost her 'magic' when she started producing contemporary novels.
Great list Harlot!
1/31/2007 09:20:00 PM
Oh, great list. I didn't even know some of my authors have new books coming out!
James Patterson is a rockstar. LOL. I think he and Nora are one of the most prolific authors around.
I can't wait for Harry book 7! I wonder how long it will be given that it's the last book. Sigh, I will miss Harry.
1/31/2007 09:49:00 PM
Great list. I have to ask about Ash's book (Sherrilyn Kenyon). When is it going to be released?
1/31/2007 10:49:00 PM
This comment has been removed by the author.
2/01/2007 12:44:00 AM
This is great! I can see all the authors I like and just take note of all their book releases.
One of my favorite authors lately is Lauren Willig. I don't see her in the list but I think she has yet to announce her next book after Deception of Emerald Ring. I love her Pink Carnation series!
2/01/2007 12:46:00 AM
Great list Harlot. I can't believe you mentioned Bridie Clark who's one of my favorites. :)
Angels Falls was great. I think Heather Locklear did great and the actor who played Brody. I wish there were more love scenes though. lol
2/01/2007 01:25:00 AM
I'm already waiting for SEP's book and the new Shopaholic.
I think Jenny Crusie has a new book with Bob but I'm not sure.
2/01/2007 08:35:00 AM
Great list. As always, I'm waiting for MK's newest and Harry too! I also love Jane Green and Charlaine Harris. Can't wait for Eclipse.
2/01/2007 05:39:00 PM
Book 7 book 7 book 7 book 7! LOL!
I'm also waiting for whatever book Stephen King is going to produce.
Angels Falls is ok. I don't think it's something I would watch again but I did enjoy it. Sorry Harlot, no kissing scene for Nora, LOL. I was waiting for the same thing you know. But since there are still 3 other movies, I'm still hoping ;).
2/01/2007 10:29:00 PM
OMG! Great list!
Do you know that I've already read Shopaholic and Baby? Managed to get the last copy from the bookstore. :D
Can't wait for The Dream Hunter and SEP's NAtural Born Charmer!
2/02/2007 09:49:00 AM
Menchie, you cheater! LOL I can't believe you got it already! Did you already pre-order Harry? There's no way i'm not getting a copy on the 21st. When HP4 was released i didn't pre-order and all the copies were gone in a day and i had to wait for a week before i could get a copy. I almost strangled the bookstore person. :S
2/02/2007 03:52:00 PM
Harlot, I finished New Moon. I like it. I love the first one much better...and sad to say that it doesn't look like they're going to be any closer to sex anytime soon.
Can you believe they haven't gone to any bases yet? No wondering hands on this book. Absolutely none. I am hoping Eclipse will have them groping each other under the clothes at least. Do you think they should do it underwater, say a warm Jacuzzi because Edward is so "frosty?"
2/03/2007 01:30:00 AM
Harlot,
I heard they got the new shipment of Shopaholic over at FB so go get it! I was on the phone with customer service, checking all the books I reserved.
Not yet signed up for HP7 though I will. They usually start accepting sign-ups in March and that's how I got my HP5 and 6. I'm at the store by 7am.
2/03/2007 03:12:00 AM
Shosh,
I think SM made it clear that's no sex until they get married. :/ Which is fine really.. just, oh well.. As much as Jacuzzi sex is fun :P i think Bella and Edward should do it on the bed first LOL. Well, honestly, Edward should get a bed SOON. And Edward won't be so "frosty" then as Bella will surely be a vampire when it happens.. ;P
Menchie,
I'll be sure to ask. Btw, have you read TWILIGHT? Even if our discussion is already over and you didn't join us, *sniff* it's really such a wonderful WONDERFUL book. I think you'll love it too. :)
2/03/2007 05:29:00 AM
Will get Twilight right away! Didn't realize it was a paranormal. So sorry I missed the discussion.
2/03/2007 06:18:00 AM
I read your post on Jennifer Bell’s new book Little Stalker. I read the book and Kirkus just came out with a review. Here the Kirkus review:
LITTLE STALKER
Review Date: MARCH 01, 2007
Publisher:Riverhead
Pages: 352
Publication Date: 5/17/2007 0:00:00
Category: FICTION
Young novelist stalled after the early success of her first book becomes increasingly fixated on a famous filmmaker she has admired since childhood.
For 33-year-old Rebekah Kettle, few things are as comforting as the annual release of an Arthur Weeman movie. A prolific New York writer/director/actor (yes, think Woody Allen), Weeman has always been there for her, dating back to her parents' divorce. So devoted is Rebekah that she spends $22,000 of her doctor father's money at an Arthur Weeman prop sale, taking home such useful items as a gondola and an oxygen tank. Feeling slightly guilty about using her preoccupied dad's money, which he has not yet discovered missing, she decides to pitch in at his medical practice after his assistant/mistress Irmabelle leaves. It is there she meets Mrs. Williams, a wheelchair-bound elderly woman suffering from what appears to be dementia. She also, it turns out, lives in the building facing Weeman's, with a view into his kitchen. Soon Rebekah is wheeling Mrs. Williams about, buying her diapers-and watching Weeman. Things get weirder when she starts writing to him in the guise of a pubescent girl named Thalia. Her unanswered letters are wildly imaginative wonders of provocation and innocence, and she notices Weeman starting to squire around an actual underage schoolgirl. For Rebekah, Weeman's inappropriate "relationship" is less troubling than the fact that her letters appear to have affected him. She soon realizes that she has found a subject for her second novel. Around this time, she meets her romantic match in Isaac Myman, an oddball tabloid photographer. As she and Isaac get closer, she feels torn: Exposing Weeman's secret could win Isaac a career boost. In eccentric Rebekah, Belle (High Maintenance, 2001, etc.) has created another unforgettable narrator-funny, self-absorbed, a little damaged-and never predictable.
Darkly comic journey touching on love, art and the nature of obsession.
