Okay, I'm very late this week, but I wanted to answer this one!

Last week we talked about the books you liked best from 2007. So this week, what with it being a new year, and all, we’re looking forward….

What new books are you looking forward to most in 2008? Something new being published this year? Something you got as a gift for the holidays? Anything in particular that you’re planning to read in 2008 that you’re looking forward to? A classic, or maybe a best-seller from 2007 that you’re waiting to appear in paperback?

There are quite a few books I am looking forward to this year. In fact, I am looking forward to all of the ones on my challenge lists, but here are a few highlights:

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (Jewish Lit Challenge).
  
• Red Poppies by Alai (What's in A Name Challenge, Reading Across Borders and Expanding Horizons Challenge)
• The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevera (Expanding Horizons Challenge)
• Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser (TBR and Chunkster Challenge)
• The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (Chunkster and TBR)
• First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde (Themed Reading Challenge)

And, not on any challenge list, I really hope I get a chance to read The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur by Daoud Hari, to be published in March 2008.
