Nowadays I don't really have any authors or book series like this. As I kid I used to get really excited for a new Series of Unfortunate Events or Alex Rider book. For a while I kept my eye on Adrian Tchaikovsky, but lately I've found some of his novels to be hit or miss.

The only book release I'm currently looking forward to is Brigands & Breadknives in the Legends & Lattes series by Travis Baldree. The other two books have been cosy and wholesome, and it's become a little tradition of mine to read these books around Christmas.

John Darnielle is my must-read list. Wolf in White Van was absolutely captivating to me when it came out. I was late reading Universal Harvester, but when I finally did, it literally made me gasp out loud at some of the most horror. And so I decided to lock in and never miss a new drop again. His last book was a day-one buy that I loved, and now I'm just waiting for him to announce something else.
