The big news this morning is that Elizabeth Gilbert’s sequel to Eat, Pray, Love has been given a title and a publication date. According to the New York Times Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage is due to be released in January of 2010. As she explains in that article: “It is and isn’t a sequel,” Ms. Gilbert said in a telephone interview from near their home in Frenchtown, N.J. “It’s the same two characters, but it’s a very different setting and emotional backdrop. The second book has more of an academic contemplation and more of my family in it.” Though this title hasn’t been added to LINKcat yet, you might check out the author’s earlier works, Pilgrims and Stern Men.
Other big forthcoming titles you can place holds on now:
The Children’s Book by A. S. Byatt
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
9 Dragons by Michael Connelly
Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton
An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon
U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton
A Separate Country by Robert Hicks
Under the Dome by Stephen King
The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
The Vintage Caper by Peter Mayle
Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
Angel Time by Anne Rice

I’m looking forward to The girl who kicked the hornet’s nest by Stieg Larsson. But that’s just me.

I am really looking forward to Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. And Her Fearful Symmetry - I love, love, love ghost stories. And Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters!

I’m looking forward to Nick Cave’s new book, The Death of Bunny Munro.

I can’t wait for Catching Fire. This has alot of buzz that it’s going to be the next HP or Twilight series type hit. Lots of action, lots of suspense, this is a must read for all ages.

This is somewhat off topic, but I do find it interesting that there have been several articles about the books President Obama has taken on his vacation, this topic seems to have even justified a press release from the White House. And it has been noted several times that the combined page total of all of them is over 2,000. Perhaps the President is like a lot of us, he wants to make sure he has a really good book along and will take several to make sure he finds the right read.

A little late to the party here, but I’m waiting impatiently for An Echo in the Bone, the latest installment in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. Incredibly detailed historical fiction, interesting and complicated characters, romance, military history, and, um, time travel. Not to mention men in kilts. Something for everybody!
