This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Being Polite to Hitler
By Robb Forman Dew Publication Date: January 6
From Amazon:
Her newfound freedom may not sit so well with the rest of the Scofields, who operate strictly within the confines of polite Midwestern values. They'd be polite to Hitler if need be. But underneath the façade, private triumphs and tragedies---including struggles with alcoholism and illicit affairs-simmer, and Agnes finds herself becoming even more entangled in the family web.
Being Polite to Hitler is a richly wrought portrait of a woman coming into her own in the middle of her life and a family that experiences passions, joys, and grief against the backdrop of the post-WWII era.

I hadn't heard of this one before, but the synopsis definitely piqued my interest.
Intriguing pick!! Thanks for hosting this Feature!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
I like the blurb you shared for the book. It can be extremely stifling when you're expected to be and act a certain way. Hope you enjoy the book when it comes out :)
Here's my WOW for the week
I haven't heard of this one yet either but it sounds super interesting. I think Waiting on Wednesday is my new favorite thing to do :)
Now that's a title to grab your interest.
Thanks for hosting WoW!
What a title. As Ladybug said, it's certainly attention grabbing. I like the idea of the story and the cover. Interesting pick.
That is an interesting title, and I like that its explained right in the book description. Sometimes books with really creative titles like that leave me wondering even after I read it exactly where the title came from. The book itself sounds interesting as well.

I like the sound of this one, Jill. I love stories about finding oneself, especially when everything already seems set in a particular pattern.

Attention-grabbing title, to be sure!
Great pick Jill!
Never would have guessed what the book was really about, solely based on the title...the summary makes it sound like something I would really like.
