My 2012 book year started on a high note when I learned that my favorite singer, Jenny Berggren [2], is set to release her autobiography in English. You may not immediately recognize the name, but if you've ever heard "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around" or "Beautiful Life [3]", then you've heard Jenny Berggren's work as a part of Swedish pop sensation Ace of Base.
I've been a fan of the group since I was a teen, so I'm looking forward to reading about her life, her experiences, and her influences - both musical [4] and personal. Jenny's book, To Win the World, was a big seller in her home country. It was released in several formats, including hardback, paperback, and audio book editions. The English version doesn't have a set date yet and I am already impatient for its official release. This means To Win the World now occupies the top spot on my " I Can't Wait!" reading list.
Do you have an "I Can't Wait!" book list? If so, what books are on your list?
