Book Blogger Hop for January 28, 2011: 01/28/11
Classes have started. Although I'm taking a full load with four, they are fun and none of them have any term papers. There are projects, a lot of reading and a lot of discussion.
This week's question asks what books being published this year are we most excited about.
I have four books: How to Survive a Killer Seance by Penny Warner, Pirate King by Laurie R. King, Theodosia and the Last Pharaoh by R. L. LaFevers and The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan. They are from the very short list of series I actually follow. The first two are adult mysteries and the last two are middle grade/tween fantasies.

Penny Warner
Thanks for putting me on your list!
I'm among good company. Hope your classes go well. I'm back to teaching at the college and working on book #4 - How to Party with a Killer
Vampire...

Thank you for letting me know about your 4th book in the series! School is great; I'm doing library science.

Hi Happy Friday thanks for stopping by my blog. I see you couldn't pick just one either lol.
Pussreboots
I'm not very good at following meme rules.
Carissa
Oo those all sound like really interesting titles! There are way too many good ones that are coming out this year for me to pick just one!
Thanks for stopping by and have a happy hop!
Pussreboots
I didn't even notice that we were supposed to pick just one book. But these are books from four of my favorite authors.
Suko
I hope you enjoy your choices! :)
Pussreboots
I'm sure I will. I have enjoyed the previous books.
kellolio
Hope you enjoy the books you're looking forward to :)
Pussreboots
Thank you. I think I will.

Thanks for stopping by.

I can't believe there's another Mary Russell coming out so soon-admittedly I'm pretty far behind on them. I definitely want to catch up on them some time.
Pussreboots
I caught up on them a couple years ago. It's so rare for me to be current with series!
Kay
I love anything that Laurie R. King writes. LOL
And Rick Riordan is another favorite of mine. Good to know about both of these.
Have a good weekend!
Pussreboots
I've only read King's Mary Russell series but I do plan to read her other books some day.
Mel
These four sound fun. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Pussreboots
You're welcome. Happy reading.
Samita @ Book Purring
I'm not familiar with these books but I hope you get them soon :) thanks for stopping by my blog
Pussreboots
Most of them are coming out in the spring so it's not too much longer to wait.
Howard
The book I'm most expecting in 2011 is by an author I crossed off my "Favorite author" list.
He's back on that list now.
Who's the author? Raymond Feist? What's the book? A Kindgom Besieged.
Hop on over to my website to read all about it.
Pussreboots
Thank you for stopping by. Happy reading.
Jessica S.
Interesting choices, haven't heard of those. Thanks for stopping by.
Have a GREAT weekend!
Pussreboots
Thank you. Same to you.
Readergirl
I'm really interested in the Theodosia book. Sounds like it would be right up my alley since I love mythology, especially Greek or Egyptian mythology. Great picks!
Pussreboots
If you decide to read the Theodosia books (and I hope you do!), I suggest you start with the first one, Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos.
Alyssa
I really need to read some books by Rick Riordan.. I just watched half of Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief yesterday and it was pretty good, and in my opinion books tend to be even better than their movie adaptaions
Pussreboots
I haven't watched the movie but I have read the entire series. I can tell you that Percy is five years younger in the book than he is in the film.
Stormi
I have been thinking about reading Theodosia's book series but haven't got around to it, same with Rick Riodan's new series.
Pussreboots
Both series are very good. Happy reading.
Pussreboots
Thank you. I hope your weekend is good too.
Aliyah @ Des Absurdités
Just hopping over to say thanks for visiting my blog!
Pussreboots
You're welcome. Thank you for stopping by.
Pussreboots
They're all from very good series.
Bookgirl
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I'm a new follower, have a great weekend!
Pussreboots
Thank you for the follow. Happy reading!
Dee
Hey again!
Thanks for the visit, I'm hopping back :)
Of all your books, the one I'm interested in is the Pirate King. I'm checking it out on GR now. I'm nuts about series, because I love having epic fantasy world creation spanning several books.
Pussreboots
Pirate King will be a mystery, not a fantasy. Happy reading.
Madigan
I put together a list of books I'm looking forward to about a week ago.
Pussreboots
OK. Happy reading.
Barb at Sugarbeat's Books
Good choices in your books! Thanks for the visit and good luck with your courses!
Pussreboots
Thank you. It looks like it will be a good semester.
Michelle
I haven't heard of any of those besides the Rick Riordan. I will have to check them out!
Thanks for hopping by!
Pussreboots
Keep in mind that they are all from series. The Rick Riordan and LaFevers series should be started at the beginning. The other two can be read out of order.
TC
Hi, just popping by on a return visit. Might have to look a couple of those up. Have a great weekend!
Pussreboots
Great. Happy reading.

Hi, Happy New Year to you. I haven't hop in a while and this is such a cold weekend, it was the perfect day.
Have fun at school. Reading is always good!!

Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out
Hi,
Just hopping by and following through.
I just picked up the first in the Party Planner Mystery series at a second hand store a little while a go but haven't had a chance to read it just yet.
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier
Pussreboots
I really like the series. I hope you do too.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
I know what you mean about the short list. I had such a hard time narrowing it down and I missed about a million. Hope all your books are coming out soon.
Have an awesome weekend!
Pussreboots
Two of them are coming out in spring. I'm not sure about the other two.
Niecole
I'd love to read How to Survive a Killer Seance, sounds very interesting and I love mysteries.
Great blog you have here!!!
Pussreboots
I'm also looking forward to the 4th one, How to Party with a Killer Vampire.
Sandy
I've only heard of Throne of Fire that's the second book in the Kane Chronicles right? I hope you continue to enjoy your classes and thanks for visiting my blog ^_^.
Pussreboots
That's right. We're nuts for the Rick Riordan books here. Red Pyramid was lots of fun.
