Are there any authors whose books you eagerly anticipate and tend to buy at launch? (pawb.social)

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 Scalzi, been a fan for a long time.

Kind of an obscure one but among my friend group who reads we are fans of Matthew Norman. It started with We’re All Damaged which we loved. They are beach reads but consistently fun.

    I read Kaiju Preservation Society last year and had a lot of fun with it! I've got a copy of Old Man's War to read at some point, looking forward to it.

    Same, Kaiju Preservation Society is his first book I read and really enjoyed it. Have got couple of books in Old Man's War and going to give it a go soon. If I enjoy them as much, he might end up in the same category.
