Which Books Are You Looking Forward To In 2015?

[AB Editor]

The Millions have put together their always excellent list of books coming out this year:

And it does look good.

Quite fancy some more short story collections this year, maybe "Hall of Small Mammals" will go on my list.

But... I do have books to read from Christmas... I suppose I will have to get through them first.

So tell me, what are you looking forward to, and what do you have in your current reading list pile?

Sorry, in my reading pile:

Blake Butler's 300,000,000

It's his usual post modern ramble through the English language, but this time there's a twist: there's a normal voice acting as a second narrator and an actual murder. We know whodunnit, but we don't know who got done!

And Wolf In White Van:

By John Darnielle. Seems like a jolly idea about a game designer.

Anything by Bill Bryson, Stuart MacBride.
My current reading pile consists of the aforementioned authors plus David Baldacci, Andy McNab, Ian Rankin, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Stephen Leather.

I LOVE reading and I love real books not ebooks.

Got 'Christmas at Battersea' for Christmas, can't wait to start reading that. Discovered Susan Hill last year and now can't get enough of her books. Also bought a Tess Gerritsen from a charity shop last week and looking forward to getting my teeth into that as well !

[chaptazbru2]

I agree with janbee about 'real' books !

I already have piles of books that I've not got around to reading. I'm awful when in a book store, find loads I want: but for some reason, maybe it's age/eyesight, I simply don't set time aside to read them. And if I do start to read I get easily/quickly tired. I'm unsure what's happened as I've grown older, maybe I've been spoilt by too many magazines that get half read, and can no longer concentrate properly on a decent book. Maybe once I have more time I'll be able to set the odd day aside to catch up. But I need to avoid bookstores in 2015 until then.

I've just started The Mist in the Mirror by Susan Hill...suitably atmospheric
There's more very light reading in the form of several 'timeslip' books by Barbara Erskine
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters ...along with several of her earlier books
A fair amount of non fiction including Georgian London:into the streets by Lucy Ingliss
The Secrete Museum by Molly Oldfield...the treasures we don't see
Death by Food Pyramid by Denise Minger,and The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz...both discuss the contributions of politics,big pharma,poor research and agribusiness ...to the worlds current bad health,and the obesity epidemic.

That's enough for a few months...

any Rebus due this year ?

[Tilly2]

Minty I have just finished, Saints of the Shadow Bible and would also like to know if there's another Rebus novel on the way.

[murraymints]

that was my last new Rebus read Tilly..will have to get a few oldies out for re-read

[Samuraisan]

Just finishing Edge of Eternity, Ken Follet. I have found it very interesting and have learnt a lot about the Cold War , WaterGate and so on, I think I preferred the first 2 books of the trilogy, but well worth reading.

[DaisyNonna]

pastafreak, think I have read most of Barbara Erskine, one of my favourite authors.

[janbee]

I hope another Rebus book is due by the end of the year.

I would like to be reading .... Why they wont be on television any more by J.Ross .brand ,the carrs Norton . .Leastenders .xfactor strictly dancing Clarke .Long title but Id read it just to make sure its true .

Pasta, I wish that "Death By Food Pyramid" was some kind of throwback pulp sci-fi thing. Sadly it's about food/nutrition myths:

[pastafreak]

Ah...but there are conspiracy theories. ;-)

[boxtops]
