Top Ten Tuesday-2018

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!  http://www.brokeandbookish.com/

This week the topic was about books we're looking forward to next year 

1) Kevin Hearne-Scourged 
Book 9 and the final one of the Iron Druid books. I just have the anthology to read to get me up to date with this series and then I can enjoy the final book in April.

2) Tim Shipman-Fall Out
A look at the recent 2017 General Election and other issues that have made it a year of political upheaval. Looking forward to reading this in May!

3) Michael Stephen Fuchs-The Siege/Endgame
They're out on Kindle but not yet on paperback! In 2018 I'll get my hands on the final two books of Arisen, the best zombie series EVER!

4) Patricia Briggs 
The fifth Alpha and Omega book Burn Bright comes out but it might just be hardback, but I will certainly get my hands on the paperback of Mercy book ten Silence Fallen. I HATE waiting a full extra year for the paperbacks!!!

5) George RR Martin 
OK, I'm not optimistic enough to hope for The Winds of Winter but we might be getting at least the first part of this Westeros history that he has been working on so that is something to look forward to!

6) Darrell Maloney 
I love this apocalypse author! So far this year he has released 11 books across 6 series so I'm looking forward to whatever he has in store for next year! Exciting!

7) JK Rowling/Jim Kay-The Goblet of Fire illustrated
No publication date that I can find but one has come out every year so far so I hope the fourth one will be out next year.

8) Mike Kraus
I'm hoping for the omnibus paperback editions of Surviving the Fall and No Sanctuary. Liked what I've seen of them and want to grab them soon!

9) Hunter Shea-Jurassic, Florida
Hurricane Ramona unleashes prehistoric iguanas on Florida...I can't wait until June to get my hands on this one...

10) Benedict Jacka-Marked 
Book nine in the Alex Verus series comes out in June!

  2. It would be great if we could actually get a completely new and original story from Martin in 2018... although I'm never too optimistic

  4. Glad to hear the Iron Druid series is still going strong, and I hope that number 9 will be ending you were hoping for. I'm also interested in the new Patricia Briggs, if I can catch up with the Alpha and Omega series by then!

    1. I hope it ends well as I hate it when a great series ends with a whimper! I do love my Patricia Briggs werewolves and need to catch up on a couple of them!

  5. Jurassic Florida might have to go on my list. And Winds of Winter- good grief we can hope!!!

    1. Hope rather than expectation I think! I'm really keen on the thought of Jurassic Florida...that should be a good one!

  6. Yes, I need the new Hunter Shea book as well. I'm reading Fury of the Orcas now and have to admit, it's not going to be one of my faves. However, I'm really psyched for Jurassic, Florida and I think he has one coming out called Creature as well.

    1. Ach, Fury of the Orcas sounded really good! My dad is currently reading Megalodon in Paradise and liking it. Better keep our fingers crossed for Jurassic Florida! I really enjoyed Optical Delusion which I looked at but haven't reviwed yet.

  7. I forgot to add, do you think people will EVER get the rest of the GoT books?

    1. I think we'll get The Winds of Winter but I'm not confident about the final book TBH!

  8. Most of these are new to me. I do want to read the Hearne series soon. Burn Bright is an awesome book but I always love Patricia Briggs.

  9. I just read the first book in Kevin's series. Every bit as good as I'd been told. And I'm reviewing Hunter's Fury Of The Orcas later this week. Also already pre-ordered his new dino book!

    1. I love that series especially Oberon with his sausage and poodle obsessions! Sad that it's ending though. I'm looking forward to the Orca review...

  10. It would be so awesome of The Winds of Winter was actually published next year. I hope you get a chance to read all these!

    1. I'm not greatly hopeful about TWOW but you never know! Oh I plan to read a lot this year after that disappointing end to the year.
