I will squeal like a teenybopper when I can finally get my hands on The Hunger Games Book 3 :). Also, seconded for The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan...

Cannot wait for, a.k.a. my SQUEE! list:
Pleasure of a Dark Prince, Kresley Cole (Hardly counts since it comes out in a week, but still.)
Silver Borne, Patricia Briggs 3/30/2010
Masques, Patricia Briggs Winter 2010 (this is a re-release, but it's currently out of print and I can't find a copy)
Magic Bleeds, Ilona Andrews 5/25/2010

Looking forward to:

Mainly fantasy/scifi series stuff:

Monsters of Men (Chaos Walking) by Patrick Ness - can't wait for May
The Sending - the sixth & final book in the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody - it was meant to come out last year and Penguin thinks it will be ready by August 2010, though I also saw February 2011 on wikipedia. The first book came out in 1987 so some people have been waiting a long time for this to come to an end.
www.watch by Robert J Sawyer - comes out in April (I loved www.wake)
Factotum Monster Blood Tattoo book 3 by DM Cornish: September 2010
Count me in on the Hunger Games book 3 as well

I'm looking forward to new books from Sara Paretsky (think it's already out in the US but not here until next week) and Roddy Doyle's third book about Henry Smart, following on from A Star Called Henry and Oh, Play That Thing! It may be a while before I actually get to read either, of course. I bought the last two Paretskys in hardback but only read them when they'd been out in paperback for a while.

Great idea for a thread!

I'm looking forward to:
Changeless, the sequel to Soulless--and then the third one later this year
the fourth Alcatraz book

Hunger Games 3 (though not nearly as much as many people; I haven't even read the second one yet)
Mastiff by Tamora Pierce, to complete the Terrier trilogy which I've put off reading until it's complete.
Strange Fate to finally complete the Night World series, though after 10+ years my interest isn't nearly as high as it used to be

Actually, there are surprisingly few books that I really want.

Just re-bought Shutter Island to read before the movie come out. I have read it before, but was too excited to share it and gave it away but now I regret that. And I'm very excited to have it again.

This is great! I love to see such a variety listed! I am surprised there is no tmore interest in Linger...the second book of the Mercy Falls wolves series by maggie stiefvater. I absolutely loved shiver and am super excited about the fact that the rights have been optioned by I think Warner Bros for the movie....(saw it on twilight facebook page.)

Keep the excitment coming!

The fourth Alcatraz book... Changeless (sequel to Soulless)... the third Hunger Games book... and I think a new series by Rick Riordan starts this year... oh, and Brandon Sanderson's new series starts this year, though I don't remember the title of the first book. I'm REALLY excited about that one!

I'm really excited for The Infinities by John Banville which comes out next month, I think. I'm also interested in reading Yann Martel's new book Beatrice and Virgil.

I'm interested to see what appears in the new "Bloomsbury Lives of Women" series. Right now, there's Ava Gardner (released January) and Tamara De Lempicka (to be released March).
