Notice the absence of non-speculative fiction. (I was going to say complete absence, but I guess Octavian Nothing and Elizabeth Wein's work don't quite count as fantasy if you look at them the right way. I guess it must be vivid books that tend to attract me.)
- Shannon Hale's graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge (August) and novel Bayern 4 (in progress, possibly for 2009).
- Justine Larbalestier's How to Ditch Your Fairy (September).
- Patricia McKillip's The Bell at Sealey Head (September; I haven't heard anything concrete but the form of the title suggests a sequel to The Tower at Stony Wood; there is a reading available at this fine link which I also haven't listened to).
- Cornelia Funke's Inkdeath (October).
- M. T. Anderson's Octavian Nothing: Volume 2 (October).
- Brandon Sanderson's The Hero of Ages (Mistborn book 3; October) and Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones (November).
- Juliet Marillier's Heir to Sevenwaters (November).
- Jane Lindskold's Thirteen Orphans, first in a series. (November)
- Bujold's Sharing Knife book 4 (January 2009) and any possible additions to the Chalion series (there should be 2 according to the series structure, but I have heard nothing concrete).
- R. J. Anderson's book Knife, the Hunter (2009) and book Touching Indigo (nowhere near finished).
- Laini Taylor's Silksinger (in revision; hopefully for 2009).
- Pamela Dean's Going North (in revisions; 2009? to be split into two books).
- Marie Brennan's And Ashes Lie (in progress; 2009?)
- D. M. Cornish's Factotum (in progress; 2009?).
- Jane Yolen's graphic novel Foiled (possibly not final title; no idea about a release date).
- L. Jagi Lamplighter's Prospero's Children (haven't heard anything about a release date).
- The rest of Rosemary Kirstein's continuing Steerswomans series. (Book 5 is currently in progress, book 6 mostly finished from what I've heard which isn't much.)
- John Wright's next "book", Count to a Trillion (scare quoted because of his habit of having his books broken into "trilogies").
- Vernor Vinge's sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep (in progress?).
- Tom Simon's epic work.
- Any additional books in Elizabeth Wein's Arthurian cycle.

So. Another Funke is coming? Good.
