This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Before Ever After
Publication Date: August 2
From Library Journal:
Twentysomething Shelley’s world is shattered as she hears her husband being blown up while talking to him on the phone. Three years later, she’s made little progress in getting beyond her paralyzing grief when she opens the door to a man who looks so much like her husband, Max, that she faints. Paolo’s story is so utterly improbable—Max was his grandfather who never aged—that she can barely keep it together. The two grieving survivors head to Europe to retrace the offbeat continental tour that Max led five years before. As they slowly unravel the mystery of Max’s immortality and multiple reincarnations, Shelley and Paolo seem to be getting closer to finding the latest version of Max.

I usually read YA books but I heard about his one a couple of weeks ago and really want to read it too! Great pick!
This novel sounds breathtaking! It's definitely going on my list!
Ooh! I've got this one too! I can't wait to sink my teeth into and get to the bottom of this mystery. Great choice!
That sounds so sad... I love the cover though its really vintage looking.
Maybe I should invest in Kleenex stock before giving this one a go. Sounds like it will be a good read though. xo~ Sara
This sounds like a really great tragic book.

Hm... it'll be interesting to learn who Max's latest incarnation is... though the synopsis gives plenty of hints. =) Thanks for commenting at my WoW.
