Friday Blog Hops Jan. 28th

Book Blogger Hop




This week's question comes from Aliyah who blogs at Des Absurdités:

"What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011? Why are you anticipating that book?"



Well, this is a hard one. The one book that I absolutely cannot wait for is the next installment in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. But, alas, I will have to wait another couple of years for that one, since it takes her about three years to write one. However, her latest Lord John book will be coming out this year and that is as close to hunky highlander, Jamie Fraser, as I'm going to get...so I'll take it! How about you? What book are you waiting for this year?

  2. I couldn't wait 3 years for a new book o.o or maybe I could, its not like readers have a choice. I can definitely see why you're anticipating that one. I haven't read any books in that series.

    Here's my answer to the Hop question if you want to check it out :) check

  4. I did not know her Lord John book was a series! I shall have to check that out :)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I look forward to sharing some great books and reviews with you! I agree with you about having to have romance in the historical... while I usually don't read historical romance, I always want my historical fiction novels to have some element of romance.

    All this being said, I see you are reading Julia Quinn! She is a fun author. It's in His Kiss is awaiting me on my shelf; I will be looking forward to your review!

  7. What a pretty blog you have! I keep meaning to read more of Diana Gabaldon's books. I've read OUTLANDER twice, but never continued on. Maybe this year.

    Have a good weekend!

  12. Is the Outlander series historical fiction? I like Julia Quinn and Lisa Kleypas and a few others, but its been a while since I've read that genre.

    Maybe its time for a revisit :)
    I actually had trouble finding books for '11 as several huge novels are out in 2012.
    Dee, hopping from e-Volving Books
