Okay, so my birthday is not until October. No birthday wishes are in order! These are just some more new releases that are coming out around my birthday that I plan on receiving or purchasing... Something along those lines!
Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran - September 15, 2009
Okay, so a little early for my birthday, but seriously, I am excited! I loved Moran's previous two novels, so you know I want this one right now! Plus, Michelle is going to be appearing on Historical Tapestry for a week in September. Yay! We are talking a guest post, interview, book review, and likely a give-away or two! Great early birthday present! Michelle is a really nice person, too, so I always enjoy when she visits.
Fire by Kristin Cashore - October 6, 2009
A prequel, I am told, to Graceling (which I reviewed yesterday). I really liked the first book, so I am looking forward to the next foray into Cashore's books! It will be on my birthday radar for sure!
Catching Fire - The Second Book of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - September 1, 2009
Another book that is early. I haven't reviewed The Hunger Games yet, but I am looking forward to reading the next book. Even though I didn't love the first book as much as other people; it will still be fun to see what happens next! I am trying to decide if she is going to go on the buy end of the spectrum or not. I guess we will see what happens in September!
Day After Night by Anita Diamant - September 8, 2009
Usually I want more books that fall in October than September. Working out weird this year! Anyway, the author of The Red Tent (which I loved) has a new book out this year. I haven't read her other book, but really, who is surprised! I will have to make it a priority between now and September!
Other books coming out in September and October that look good, but they are new-to-me authors:
Kingdom of Ohio by Matthew Flaming
Ash by Malinda Lo
There is also Going Bovine by Libba Bray, which I mentioned on a previous post, and other books that I am not thinking about the moment!
So, what September/October books are you looking forward to?

You must be young at heart and full of energy! I get too overwhelmed if I look that far ahead. I did pre-order Shannon Hale's new adult novel, but I think it comes out in June.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on Catching Fire...regardless of whether or not you liked The Hunger Games, I think there's a strong need t know what happens next! lol.
ReplyDeleteI also really want to read Fire, but I'm thinking I should read Graceling first :p
I have tons of books that I want that are coming out in September/October, but I'm too lazy to go look at my list and get all of the titles :p
Hah, I actually want every single book on your list! Funny how that works. =) I haven't read Graceling or The Hunger Games, but I have both coming to me soon I hope, so I'm sure that by September/October I will be totally ready for the prequel/sequel.
ReplyDeleteNormally, I don't buy books when they first come out because I prefer trade paperbacks to hardbacks. On the other hand, I just have to get my hands on Catching Fire!!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Fire (and Graceling) as well. I didn't know The Red Tent was one of your favourites! I have it on my tbr pile...a good reminder that I should get to it.
ReplyDeleteWould you hate me if I told you I got a copy of Catching Fire while at Book Expo America this weekend?
ReplyDeleteBooklogged: Well, I always make a list of books I want. I just needed an idea for my post, so I went with releases close to my birthday! :) I don't actually preorder anymore...
ReplyDeleteChris: Yeah, I want to see what happened next, too. Yes, you should read Graceling first. I really really liked that book! Well, as you can see, I liked it better than The Hunger Games...
Meghan: haha! That's good to know! We can look forward to them together.
Amanda: I actually prefer hardcovers to paperbacks but my bank account reminds me to get paperback most of the time.
Ana: Oh! The Red Tent is really good! I hope you enjoy it. And, yes, you should read Graceling.
Stephanie: I heard that it was going to be there. Very lucky! I would never hate you, though. :)
When I read the title I was like "it's her birthday and she didn't even tell me?!" =) I've started making me wish list for my birthday too, though my birthday's not until August. I figured I can make the most of my reading by reading in the summer instead of waiting until August when I have a full load again. Fire and Catching Fire are both on my list also. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Cleopatra's daughter too. Like you I loved the first 2 books.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Hunger Games! I loved and am sorry to hear that you didn't, but I'm very much looking forward to whatever you thought of it. I hope you'll post a review!
ReplyDeleteAs for Anita Diamant, I had no idea she has a new book coming out. Hurray!
Now I must go and check out the new releases in September (my birthday month). :D
ReplyDeleteThere's no way I could plan that far in advance! I'm still trying to catch up on books I wanted from last year :)
ReplyDeleteThe September books I'm looking forward to: The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter, Covet & by J. R. Ward, Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong. In October:
ReplyDeleteA Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris, Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K. Hamilton, Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris, & Tempted by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast (*fangirl squeal*).
Natasha: lol, nope, you didn't miss my birthday! I think you are sub-consciously the reasoning behind this because I saw where you were making your birthday list already!
ReplyDeletevioletcrush: Yes, Moran writes good novels!
Andi: I plan to post a review eventually!
Alice: Well, I did better for your month than mine! lol
Joanne: Yeah, I have the same problem, too! I am never caught up!
ReplyDeleteTink: Oh, yes, I forgot Frostbitten! I am looking forward to that too!
