I've placed them by the month (and even the exact date when available), but this in no way means I'll be reviewing them in that same month. I figured it was as good a way as any to put things together, plus people may want to refer back to this (myself included) for those release dates (US only).

35 in total. 19 new releases. I read about 50 to 60 a year, so this is going to take up the bulk of my reading and this is only through September.
EDIT: There are a few books being released that I probably should have put on this list (Daniel Abraham's Tyrant's Law, Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane, S.A. Corey's Abbadon's Gate), but the ones listed are what I think I actually have a chance of reading this year.
EDIT Feb. 8: Updated some dates for The Daylight War and The Lives of Tao.

Thanks for featuring THE FOREVER KNIGHT buddy. Much appreciated!
The worst part about these 2013 lists is the realization of how many series I need to catch up with - Brett, Redick, Marco, Esslemont, Lawrence, Sullivan, and Lynch.
The best part . . . having a solid TBR pile to rely on. :)
Patrick Rothfuss, The Doors of Stone (Kingkiller Chronicle #3)
Brandon Sanderson, Highprince of War (Stormlight Archive #2) -- these were the books i was expecting the most. Hate it when this happens. Then again you did give some interesting book titles here, so maybe i will manage to get through this year after all.
@John Marco - That Todd Lockwood cover was made for frequent display. :)
@Bob - Oh man, it's always so many. If only I could finish a thing or two. :) As I always say, better to have too many in the TBR than too few.
@Augustin - There might still be a chance, I don't actually have the low down on any of that, I just really don't think we can expect those two this year. Thanks for checking out the blog and hope you enjoy some good books.
I'm sure we won't see The Republic of Thieves =(
Looking forward to checking out Scalzi's episodes of The Human Division as they come out over these next few months. And I'll be buying a hard copy of the book as well.
Also looking forward to Neil Gaiman's new novel.
Desperately wishing book two of The Stormlight Archive would come out.
Nice. Can't wait for Lynch, Brett and Lawrence. Like you mentioned don't know when we can expect Rothfuss.
Still, plenty to look forward to next year.
Lynn :D
That is a good deal of reading. Seven wheel of time books just to catch up, and isn't the last book mammoth too? Whew. I haven't started that series. There are so many series I want to read, but I'm not sure that will be on the list for a few years. I got Heir of Novron for Christmas and Prince of Thorns just before. After those I haven't read Myke Cole, Peter Brett or Joe Abercrombie. I'm curious about this John Marco fellow. I just read about him on a blog recently... maybe it was yours. Mike Shevdon is finishing up his Courts of the Feyre series. I'm really looking forward to that.
