This week’s Book Blogger Hop question: What are your most anticipated books of the year?

I am most desperately looking forward to The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home, the final book in Catherynne Valente’s amazing, wonderful, beautiful series. Due out March 1^st! I’m almost as eager for The Gift of Power by Tamora Pierce, the long-awaited and much-postponed next Tortall book, which I hear will be out…some time in 2016. Hopefully!

I’m also looking forward delightedly to Revisionist by Jim C. Hines, next book in his wonderful, reader-wish-fulfillment Libriomancer series.

Two more I’m anticipating, albeit less so: The Storyteller by Aaron Starmer, to see if his somewhat incomplete first two books get rounded off well by the last one in the trilogy; and The Untimely Deaths of Alex Wayfare by M. G. Buehrlen, mostly to find out if my guess about one character’s identity turns out to be true.

Are there any books you’re especially looking forward to? Anything I should keep an eye out for?
