Can't Wait Wednesday

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.

I didn’t read Robin Jones Gunn’s Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen series until I was in college but I’ve absolutely loved passing both series along to two of my nieces and watching them enjoy the books too. Now Jones Gunn is embarking on a new series with new main characters who gather together with a group of mothers that includes Christy and Sierra that all three of us can enjoy!

About the Book

From the author of the best-selling Christy Miller and Sisterchicks series comes a refreshing novel that celebrates the gift of friendship.

Five young women, including beloved Gunn characters Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen, gather for a simple Christmas party and soon become unlikely best friends. Told from the viewpoint of Emily, a timid young mom going through a difficult season of life, the regular gatherings provide the much needed community she’s longed for. As the women begin sharing their life stories in Becoming Us they are endeared to each other and find ways to challenge, encourage, and help each other become the nurturing mothers they wished they’d had when they were growing up. They see themselves as Haven Makers and unite to be remembered for what they do and not for what was done to them.

Happy Wednesday! We’ve made it halfway through another week! I don’t know about you but this year is flying by for me (doesn’t it seem like we say that every year, though?). 

This week I’m highlighting a book I’m looking forward to written by a debut author, the first in Natalie Walters’s Harbored Secrets series. And bonus: I just got an email from LibraryThing saying I’m getting an early review copy so I won’t even have to wait until the release date (May 21).

About the Book

In the little town of Walton, Georgia, everybody knows your name–but no one knows your secret. At least that’s what Lane Kent is counting on when she returns to her hometown with her five-year-old son. Dangerously depressed after the death of her husband, Lane is looking for hope. What she finds instead is a dead body.

Lane must work with Walton’s newest deputy, Charlie Lynch, to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when that truth hits too close to home, she’ll have to decide if saving the life of another is worth the cost of revealing her darkest secret.

Debut novelist Natalie Walters pulls you to the edge of your seat on the first page and keeps you there until the last in this riveting story that will have you believing no one is defined by their past.

Happy first day of spring! Even though we’re still battling some chilly days, I’ve enjoyed the few warmer days filled with sunshine so far and am looking forward to many more. Plus, I love sitting out on my patio in the fresh air with a good book and can’t wait to repeat that tradition this year (before it gets too hot to be outside for long).

I’m sure by the end of April, when Flight of the Raven is out, I’ll be enjoying that time outdoors. [Read more…] about Can’t Wait Wednesday: Flight of the Raven
