As such, this isn’t exhaustive or authoritative. This is just a list of 14 books, in presumed
publication order, that I’d like to read this year. I’m sure I missed something awesome. Maybe many somethings awesome.
1. The Just City, by Jo Walton (Jan): I haven’t read much
from Jo Walton, but after reading Among Others a couple years back, I am
sold. Doesn’t matter what this is, I
want to read it.
2. Karen Memory, by Elizabeth Bear (Feb): New Elizabeth Bear. Does it matter what this is about? It does not.
3. Wastelands II: More Stories of the Apocalypse, by John Joseph Adams (editor) (Feb): I adored JJA's previous Wastelands anthology (my review), so what can possibly be wrong with Wastelands II? Nothing, I tell you, nothing.
4. Persona, by Genevieve Valentine (Mar): Political thriller with celebrity culture. Also, written by Genevieve Valentine.
5. The Rebirths of Tao, by Wesley Chu (Apr): Oh, Tao, how I enjoy reading about thee.
6. The Black Wolves, by Kate Elliott (Jul): Now that I'm digging into her Crown of Stars series, I want to read all of the Kate Elliott

7. The End of All Things, by John Scalzi (Aug): New Scalzi, set in the Old Man's War universe. It's another linked story collection like The Human Division. Good stuff.
8. Radiance, by Catherynne M. Valente (Aug): I'm really not sure what this means: "Radiance is a decopunk pulp SF alt-history space opera mystery set in a Hollywood—and solar system—very different from our own"

9. Fool's Quest, by Robin Hobb (Aug): I expect to finish the Tawny Man trilogy in the next couple of months, but since I know that I would then want to read the Rain Wilds books before starting this, I don't expect to hit this series until 2016 at best. But, because I continue to be impressed by each book I read of Hobb's, this should be acknowleded.
10. The Thorn of Emberlain, by Scott Lynch (Sep): Gentleman
Bastards Book 4. I still need to read
Republic of Thieves, but this is must read fantasy for me.
11. The Empire Ascendent, by Kameron Hurley (Oct): The Mirror Empire was one of my top books of 2014. I expect The Empire Ascendent to be one of my top books of 2015.
12. Ancillary Mercy, by Ann Leckie (Oct): If you like science fiction and you're not reading Ann Leckie's novels, you're doing it wrong.
13: Mistborn: Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson (Oct): More Mistborn, following up on Alloy of Law.

14. The Winds of Winter, by George R. R. Martin (???): I'm not sure I really expect this to come out in 2015, but it's the annual GRRM watch, so let's keep on hoping.
