desertvixenA few dates to keep in mind:
Strangers in Death by JD Robb - February 19, 2008
JD Robb's stuff is like popcorn, but I've never been really disappointed by a book, although I do wish they'd stayed in PB. This one seems like it will be lighter than the last one, which is good. There's also a PB anthlology of the shorts, which will be good.
The Darcy Connection by Elizabeth Aston - March 3, 2008
These have been generally good, although I liked the first book best. I'll probably buy it, but I may want to read the back cover first. And they're TPB, which I like.
The Third Circle by Amanda Quick - April 22, 2008
Just in time for my birthday. Quick is one of the few authors I buy in HC sight unseen. I haven't yet been disappointed. I do miss her Regency period books, but the other Arcane book was pretty good, and her last one, The River Knows was excellent.
Murder on Bank Street: A Gaslight Mystery by Victoria Thompson - June 3, 2008
This historical mystery series is pretty good, and the HCs are undersized, which I like. Waiting to see what she does with her continuous UST subplot.
Nothing new listed as yet for SM Stirling, but there should be one in the September time frame, which I am anxiously awaiting.
Also nothing new listed for David Weber, which irritates me much.

I used to say that if he killed off Alistair or Rafe, I would have a really hard time picking up the next book. (This would have been right after In Enemy Hands.) I know he's said he's going to get away from her, which I agree with. What happens to her next?
Of course, I'm also still somewhat irked about how he ended the tension about White Haven...
I'm good with books following Saganami and Crown, but by the time he writes another HH book, we're all going to recap the series.
I don't care for the Hells Gate stuff, but I can find other stuff to read.
