oh thank goodness I had this flash of hope that the answer to this question would be 'yes'. alas, after reading the thread, I am brought back to reality. I kind of knew this already though. part of me had held out for a secret announcement of new WSh books though. Oh well, I'll just have to be content with the memories of the book that most impacted me as a child - The Elfstones of Shannara (which still makes me cry). Does anyone know of any other books/series out there that have a similar 'classic quest' feel to them? I'm going to go do some browsing to try to find something to take the place of WSh in my life right now. Thanks for the reality check, everyone.

What is the biggest unresolved cliffhanger from the entire series that needs to be addressed in Book 17? Given that it is likely a large series-ending plot point, it will require a significant amount of time to properly develop. However, it could also be another fun-filled semester for the gang, thus it may be a quicker read. In either case, having an idea of the scope of the story helps in knowing how long we need to wait.

I’m part of a book club that focuses on reading thrillers. Last year we did a deep dive into the career of author Iris Johansen wasn’t it? No it was Iris’s buddy Teresa Dean Hoag. Hoag seems to write in cycles: a few stand-alones followed by a series, then back to the stand-alones. She wrapped up her Elena Estes novels and then wrote a few stand-alones before diving into the ‘Moy’ series. If she’s following her typical format, then the next book she releases will be the third Moy novel to create a trilogy of Moy novels (the other two novels in the series are The Target and Darklock). As most of Hoag’s series are either trilogies or duologies, this gives me a framework with which to reference her upcoming releases.

I have a feeling she may be slowing down. We haven’t had a book from her in about a decade and it seems to me that she’s getting slower and slower with her releases. I wouldn’t blame her, though. She’s had a very long and successful career, and I’m sure she deserves to be in semi-retirement. Meanwhile, historical romance has branched out into so many sub-genres, and I love her old books, but I’m not holding my breath for another one. In the meantime, her backlist is wonderful and I can happily re-read The Secret and For the Roses instead.

I came into this thread looking for recommendations for similar authors. Pilcher is the author who got me into these kinds of cozy, heartwarming family-based novels. Once I’d read them all, I was left searching for more of the same feeling. Luckily, the suggestions within this thread of Binchy and others, including Morton and Montefiore, have provided me with a whole new list of novels to read through. So, while I was hoping for a single sequel to a favorite novel, instead I have dozens of potential new favorites to get through!
The end of a book is the start of another for someone. That’s how book communities function. We pool our knowledge to recommend books to each other. Thanks so much for your very detailed recommendations. Now I have to go find ‘The Cazalet Chronicles’ and ‘The Forgotten Garden’ but I’ll have some good travelling companions on my search for more great books to read.

I’ve forgotten that I even pre-ordered something half the time. It’s a nice surprise from my past self. The occasional charge to my card or delivery notification and I’m confused for a moment and then I remember “Oh yeah, that book I was buying 6 months ago!”. It’s a nice little treat and something I don’t worry about in terms of the release date. It’ll get here when it gets here. I don’t follow any of the obsessive fan forums on the web where people are counting down the minutes. If you’re deep in a fandom then you’ll find it impossible to forget that you’ve pre-ordered a novel, but if you’re only buying standalone novels then this approach is blissfully ignorant.

I’m still without a solid release date and really, I don’t mind. It’s far worse to rush out a book than to take your time. I saw a post on a subreddit a moment ago claiming that the unofficial translation group he’s supposedly linked to has heard that it will be released by year’s end, but these sorts of rumors pop up left and right, and almost always, they’re incorrect. With his previous work having a gap of more than a year between the announcement of a volume and its release, this radio silence doesn’t worry me in the least. I hope he’s devoting sufficient time to really tying the plot into a tight bow, just as he did with the truly fascinating tarot club gatherings of the first volume. We’ll know when it’s good to read.

As for what’s next for Rebecca Yarros and her readers after Onyx Storm, Yarros plans for two more books to complete The Empyrean series for a total of six novels. Her fifth and sixth novels will continue to produce plenty of drama, tons of dragons, and, of course, lots of love. I’m looking forward to the conclusion of her work with this series.

A YouTube video from a fan-made channel was posted recently where the creator analyzed Diana Gabaldon’s appearances at various conventions recently. According to the creator, Diana states that she is “making progress” on the new book but she doesn’t want to elaborate further on that. As I mentioned previously, fan-made channels are great in compiling all of Diana Gabaldon’s public statements, but overanalysis of every word she utters is usually par for the course. Nevertheless, searching for “Diana Gabaldon book 10 update” on YouTube yields a few recent discussions on the topic. Just remember to take all of the speculation with a bucket of salt. The real update will be obvious.

Yes, I get more excited for book releases than for a hypothetical movie (although I really do hope they do make one, it would be really cool to see how they interpret some of the scenes). At least new book releases are real and tangible and they are by the amazing author Tui T. Sutherland who hasn’t failed us yet! A movie would be a collaboration with hundreds of people so there’s bound to be someone who messes it up. But a book is a direct line of author to reader. So, for now, my focus will be on the books that are already on my shelf. The main event for me is there.
