"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:
South of Superior
Publication Date: June 9
From Amazon:
When Madeline Stone walks away from Chicago and moves 500 miles north to the coast of Lake Superior, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she isn't prepared for how much her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging family friend, Madeline finds herself in the middle of beautiful nowhere with Gladys and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters--one sharp and stubborn, the other sweeter than sunshine. As Madeline begins to experience the ways of the small, tight-knit town, she is drawn into the lives and dramas of its residents. It's a place where times are tough and debts run deep, but friendship, community, and compassion run deeper. Gladys, Arbutus, and the rest of the town teach Madeline more about life, love, and goodwill than she's learned in a lifetime.

It kind of reminds me of one of your "beach Pick" books.
This sounds great, love the cover too- Hope you get to enjoy it soon.
I like the sound of your pick. I grew up in a middle-of-nowhere, blink-and-you-miss-it town, so I can definitely relate to small town life and how it can suck you in. Thank you for hosting :)
Sounds like a good one. I love books about tight-knit communities the characters are always so great.

South of Superior sounds like a great novel! I wouldn't ordinarily have found this since I usually just look for YA books, so I'm glad I read your WoW post :)
Arbutus is such a cool name!
Thanks for hosting this! I like this idea a lot. This is my first week joining in!

Another fun week of WoW! Can't wait to read everyone's!
This one sounds wonderful! It's going on my list...and thanks for sharing and for hosting.
Sounds like a good lesson learned book. Great pick!
I think this one sounds great. I love the cover!
Sounds like a great book!
Thanks for hosting this. Interesting pick this week!!
This book is not something I'd normally pick up unless someone pointed it out or recommended it. Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely adding it to my wishlist! :)
Here's what I'm Waiting On this Wednesday! :)
South of Superior sounds like a good read. I think I'll be waiting for that one, too!
Sounds like a good one! I'm a small town kind of girl even though I was born into a big city.
I have a feeling this book will be big - I saw it on someone else's post today.
Great pick...I've always wanted to visit the Upper Peninsula area..I could do it vicariously through this book :)
*sighs* I like it. Truly, I do. I normally don't have patience with my own grandmother
I love Midwestern novels:-) and I'm adding this one to my list!
I like the sound of this one - I love stories that show the growth of characters thru their relation ships - they're just so real.
Check out what I'm waiting on this week...if you're a fan of Sex and the City, you won't want to miss it...

This looks lovely. We go to the Upper Peninsula every summer (although Lake Huron, not Lake Superior) so I'm sure I will need to get my hands on this one.
Just this morning discovered Geraldine Brooks has a new book coming out. How perfect for today's WoW; so glad you host this!
That sounds like such a sweet story. :) And it reminds me of my parents' current town. Thank you for hosting!
Another great pick for your WOW!
Have a great week and fun reading.
Thanks for hosting! This is my first Meme!
Thanks for hosting this- my blog is new, and I am excited to participate for the first time after reading everyone else's "Waiting on" Wednesdays for so long! :)
Your pick this week sounds interesting, probably a very uplifting read!
what a great cover! thanks for sharing this one!
Good pick and thanks for hosting! I did my first one today!
Thanks for hosting WoW. Your pick sounds interesting, I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for running this
wonderful meme; we're happy to be a part of it!
What an unusual name Arbutus. This isn't a title I'd normally read, but I'd definitely read reviews of it!
I haven't heard anything about this book. I read mostly YA books, but sometimes I read some Adult books. Mostly paranormal romances/romances. Sounds pretty good, though. :)
Happy reading!
Thanks for hosting this. I'm looking forward to participating.
I almost picked the same book as
you did..have fun reading this week!
