"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Cookbook Collector 
By Allegra Goodman
Publication Date: July 6
From Random House:
Two sisters, opposites in every way. Twenty-eight-year-old Emily is the pragmatic CEO of a Silicon Valley startup. Twenty-three-year-old Jessamine is a grad student in philosophy, an environmental activist, and a part-timer at Yorick's Used and Rare Books in Berkeley. Emily's boyfriend runs a wildly successful data security company in Cambridge. Jess's boyfriends--not so much. Emily thinks a commuter relationship can work, while for Jess, love was not patient. But life tests the sisters and their theories. Emily's success in the dot com bubble has its costs, while Jess's work on a cache of rare cookbooks pulls her closer to her charming, arrogant employer.

Sounds like a good sister story - I've read a few lately and enjoyed them. I don't have a WoW pick this week.
Time just got away from me. I'm trying to read my review books and get reviews written and scheduled before I have jury duty (next week).
Oh, sisters. That can be a complicated relationship!

Hi, Neat post. There's a problem together with your site in web explorer, would check this?
IE still is the market chief and a good part of other people will miss your excellent writing
due to this problem.
