13: 2007 Books I Want

Thirteen 2007 Books I Want to Read

It's a new year, which means a new year of books are ahead. Here are 13 books I'm excited about.

1. All Together Dead is the next book in Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series. Sookie is off to a vampire convention, which should put her in some interesting moments. Anyone else wonder if a blond male vampire on the cover means we'll be seeing a lot of Eric? I can only hope . . .



2. Beau Crusoe is Carla Kelly's long-awaited next novel, now only two months away. I've really missed her books, so I'm thrilled to see this one is finally coming out.



3. Fire Study is the third novel in Maria Snyder's series. I can't find a cover for it, and I don't believe it's coming out until late this year, but I'm looking forward to the continuing adventures of Valek and Yelena.

4. Innocent in Death is the next book in J.D. Robb's long-running In Death series. I love reading about Eve and Roarke.



5. Amy J. Fetzer's next book is Intimate Danger. I like Fetzer's writing style and her combination of fast-paced action and explosive romance.



6. Carrie Vaughn's next book is Kitty Takes a Holiday. Should be interesting to see what happens next. In my opinion, the more Cormac, the better.



7. I adore Kelley Armstrong's writing, and it's going to be a long wait until May when I can get No Humans Involved. OK, I guess the wait could be longer (knock on wood), but it sure seems long to me. I'm ready for the next installment in the Otherworld series and for a glimpse into the mysterious Jeremy.



8. I'm eagerly anticipating Gena Showalter's The Nymph King not only because she's a terrific writer, but also because a sexy vampiress named Alyssa is in this book (I won a contest).



9. After reading The Stranger I Married, I'm even more anxious to read Sylvia Day's Passion for the Game. She writes in several genres, but her books are one reason I'm excited about historicals again. And I don't think the cover for this book could be more beautiful.



10. Room Service is an upcoming book from Amy Garvey. I have no idea what the story is about, but whatever it is, I'm going to get it. I love Garvey's writing.



11. After reading Jill Shalvis's Aussie Rules, I'm excited to read Smart and Sexy. The awesome cover doesn't hurt, either.



12. Sarah Mayberry has become one of my favorite writers for Harlequin Blaze. March's Take on Me kicks off a new trilogy. I want them. All.



13. Judging from the cover, MaryJanice Davidson's Betsy looks like she'll be getting married at last in Undead and Uneasy. I've heard some things about this book that make me think there will be some dramatic plot elements that should make it an interesting read.



Now I just have to figure out how to be patient as I wait for the release of these books . . .
