OK, I was inspired by Nicola's post to look ahead at the forthcoming lists and, wow, it's going to be a fab year in reading, as evidenced by the number of things I just preordered from Amazon.
On my list:
March 4 - Tangled Webs by Anne Bishop. Fantasy, mostly, but anyone who likes the much-discussed Black Dagger books (but would like less tic-filled writing) should read Anne Bishop's Black Jewels books
March 4 - Thigh High by Christina Dodd. I just love Christina Dodd's historicals; her contemporaries tend to be thrillers and not so much fun, but let's give it a shot, eh?
March 28 - Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong. Kelley Armstrong is Canadian and funny and has tough, clever heroines and very satisfyingly modern romances, albeit with werewolves and vampires and demons.
May 27 - The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn. Thanks entirely to her Bridgerton books, Julia Quinn could pied piper me right off of a cliff. I'll buy anything she cares to write (although her pre-Bridgerton books, honestly, aren't crucial to own).
July 29 - Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs. Her Mercy Thompson books are tough and sexy and tense and hot, and I have complete faith in her ability to deliver the same sexual tension and great plotting with Charles and Anna. (Although, according to the Briggs blog, this book is a running a little late; good God, I hate it when publishing dates get pushed back.)
June 3 - Lover Enshrined by J.R. Ward. I'm like a crack addict for these books. Crack. Addict.
Dec. 30 (or April?) - Can't Take My Eyes Off of You by Judith McNaught. I'll buy anything Judith McNaught wants to write, but I am crossing my fingers that she is still on top of her game. I fell for her and Jude Deveraux at the same time, and Ms. Deveraux books have really stopped appealing to me, while Ms. McNaught's are still must-haves. I guess we'll see.
OK, that's a long, dry spell between June and December. What am I missing?

Why have I never read Julia Quinn?? Adding to my list for the Used Book Store....
If you like the Mercy Thompson books (Briggs) and the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong, then you should also check out these series: Cassandra Palmer (Karen Chance), Kitty Norville (Carrie Vaughn), Queen Betsy (MaryJanice Davidson), Rachel Morgan (Kim Harrison)...actually, any book on my watch list :)

OK, I'm definitely checking out MaryJanice Davidson; I'm more than a little "meh" about Kim Harrison after several tries, but I love Cassandra Palmer and I'm just trying Kitty Norville.
Plus, anyone named "Betsy" has to be awesome.
