"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:
A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty
Publication Date: January 25
From author's website:
Every 15 years, trouble comes after the Slocumb women. Now, as their youngest turns 15, a whole new kind of commotion is chasing all three generations. Mosey's desperate to know who used their yard as a make-shift cemetery, and why. The oldest, 45-year-old Ginny, fights to protect Mosey from the truth, a fight that could cost Ginny the love of her life. Between them is Liza, silenced by a stroke, with the answers trapped inside her. To survive Liza's secrets and Mosey's insistent adventures, Ginny must learn to trust the love that braids the strands of their past---and stop at nothing to defend their future.

This sounds like a different type of read. I'm very intrigued!
Hmmm what an interesting cover! And sounds like a pretty interesting story as well :)
My WoW for this week is Everneath by Brodi Ashton....
Lea @ LC's Adventures in Libraryland
The summary sounds interesting and I like how colorful the cover is!
Hmmm definitely not my usual type of read but I have to say that the cemetery bit in the summary has me very intrigued. Love the green in the cover though, bet it will be gorgeous on finished copies.
Sounds a little creepy (make-shift cemetary?), but interesting!
Oh, Jill!! I am totally waiting for that one too! I LOVE Jackson's work. Great pick!
This book looks good! I love the cover.
My WoW this week is Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs.
Stop by if you get a chance =)

I'm very intrigued by the description, thanks for sharing the book with us, Jill.
I'm also in love with the cover, so pretty :)
I wonder what the apple tuck under her belt is about on the cover?
It sounds mysterious especially with the person who could provide some insight is the one that can not.

Wit and Sin
I really love the premis of this one and it almost sounds as this might work as a cross over with YA. Great pick!

That sounds like it's going to be a very touching read. And the cover is really pretty -- green is the best colour ever!

Thanks for hosting! I've only read one by Joshilyn Jackson so far. Might try this one, but I'm getting a little tired of deep, dark family secrets lately. I guess they're a staple of fiction, though...
I loved Backseat Saints so I'm definitely going to check this one out!
I've never read any of Joshilyn Jackson's books, but I might just have to read this one. It sounds really good.
Makeshift cemetery? Say What?! That sounds crazy! Dawn @ Read Love

I'm excited about this one, too. I love Jackson's books and this one sounds great.
I'm waiting on that one too! I love Jackson's work!
