I have to say Mockingjay. I'm hosting Hunger Games Training on Thursdays this summer for my teens at the library. We'll all be headed into the Arena at the end of July to crown a champion. Obviously not a battle to the death, but still a lot of fun. I hope!

+1 I'm really looking forward to the release Mockingjay and Spirit Bound! I'm always keeping an eye out for new releases and new authors.

Congrats on the anniversary. I have followed you for some time now and enjoy each and every post. I wish I could tell you I am waiting for something wonderful but I do not follow series. I do hope Sir Pratchett comes out with another Disc World novel..oops that is a series LOL.
I am ever hopeful my favorite nonfiction author Karen Armstrong will come out with another book, but I never count on it.
Good luck with the contest. I will be sure to tweet about you tonight.

Congratulations!! A year of blogging is a brilliant achievement. I'm always in awe of the dedication you readers put into making your blogs amazing! Wishing you many more years of blogging goodness :)

+1 Having just recently finished Spirit Bound - I am dying for Last Sacrifice!! December is TOO LONG a wait! And of course, Mockingjay!! Two books I desperately need. Then Crescendo, Torment, Linger, Matched, Nighshade... I should stop now, huh?

(and HUZZAH! to you, too!)
Mine is coming up. Haven't got a clue what I'm going to do for it, but since I am going to ALA, I figure I'll find some goodies.
Now on to the fun stuff:
+1 I had so many things I was waiting on that I really should still be waiting on, but Reasons #702 I love Book Depository: I can get the UK copies when they come out before US (which is why I have 2/3 of my big "waiting on"s for the year, Monsters of Men and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. And they both shipped early!!!)
So the only one left is Mockingjay. I do have plenty of smaller waiting ons too, but that's topping the list.

I think you hit the nail on the head for me about MOCKINGJAY xD But I'm always interested in what Maria V. Snyder has to write so SPY GLASS will be up there as well :) Ahhh but I'm slightly dying to read THE REPLACEMENT and MATCHED from Penguin later this year. (+1)

I was already a follower previously :) (+10)

Mockingjay is definitely number one on my wishlist, followed very closely by Matched by Ally Condie, I love its cover and premise!

+Answer to question. I'm looking forward to a ton of new books.. it's so hard to pick! I'm looking forward to the third installment of The Demon's Lexicon trilogy and Cassandra Clare's new series. Tamora Pierce's new book. I'm also looking forward to Mockingjay-- but dreading it also. As much as I want to know how Katniss's tale will end, I don't want it to end!

Congratulations and thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I'm an old follower! I'm most looking forward to Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill that comes out this July.

+1: I am, like everyone else, looking forward to the release of Mockingbird. But, I am also looking forward with great anticipation to the Hunger Games movie and info about who's playing which character. This is not necessarily publishing, but this could do even more for the HG series than it already has. It'll be HUGE-Mongous!

+1 Hmm for me it's mostly books as well. I'm not a big fan of e-books, preferring physical books, so it's hard to think of anything in the general publishing world I'm really looking forward to.

But BOOKS in the coming year... well! MOCKINGJAY (should go without saying), Maria V Snyder's SPY GLASS (final book in her GLASS trilogy), and Patrick Rothfuss' THE WISE MAN'S FEAR, which is meant to be released next March.

Also looking forward, on a slightly smaller scale, to Juliet Marillier's next SEVENWATERS book, SEER OF SEVENWATERS (although I'm starting to get a teeny bit sick of the Sevenwaters crowd); PARANORMALCY by Kiersten White; and of course BITTERBLUE by Kristin Cashore... whenever that ends up being released (last I heard, next April, but who knows)!
