This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Silver Sparrow
Publication Date: May 31
From Amazon:
Set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s, this novel revolves around James Witherspoon’s two families—the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from each family meet and form a friendship, only one of them knows they are sisters. It is a relationship destined to explode when secrets are revealed and illusions shattered. As Jones explores the backstories of her rich yet flawed characters—the father, the two mothers, the grandmother, and the uncle—she also reveals the joy, as well as the destruction, they brought to one another’s lives.

Oh, I like the sound of this one! Reminds me of an episode of CSI even though I hope, for the characters sake, that the situation here is a little bit different :)
Cool cover! I'd love to try reading some literary fiction. The cover is really striking on the Silver Sparrow. I've been interested in The Weird Sisters. Are you enjoying it?

This is going on my tbr list. I love recommendations like this. So often I blow past books that I would probably love but just don't notice them.
Thanks for the tip and I hope I leave one that is just as good and just as rare. Meaning, not on everyones time clock! :o]
Sounds like a good book. Thanks for letting me know about it.
