This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The World Without You
Publication Date: June 19
From Amazon:
It's July 4th, and the Frankel family is descending upon their beloved summer home in the Berkshires. But this is no ordinary holiday; the family is gathering for a memorial. Leo, the youngest of the four Frankel siblings and an intrepid journalist and adventurer, was killed one year ago while on assignment in Iraq. His parents, Marilyn and David, are adrift in grief, and it's tearing apart their 40-year marriage. Clarissa, the eldest, is struggling at 39 with infertility. Lily, a fiery-tempered lawyer, is angry about everything. Noelle, a born-again Orthodox Jew (and the last person to see Leo alive), has come in from Israel with her husband and four children and feels entirely out of place. And Thisbe--Leo's widow and mother of their three-year-old son--has arrived from California bearing her own secret. Over the course of three days, the Frankels will contend with sibling rivalries and marital feuds, volatile women and silent men, and, ultimately, with the true meaning of family.

Wow this book sounds like a emotional tear jerker from begging to end. So I might have to give this one a miss, but still its a great WoW Jill. Thanks for sharing :) Natasha @ Paranormal Goddess Blog - Waiting On Wednesday Post
This is my second Waiting on Wednesday. Thank you for giving us a place to share what we are excited to read!
Oh wow! Another title I hadn't heard about. It sounds really good, though it isn't my usual kind of read.
Here's my WOW
Awesome pick this week. Never heard of it, but sounds really interesting :]
Great Pick, you always pick one I haven't heard of. Thanks for sharing.

This sounds like a depressing book, but I have to wonder - what is Thisbe's secret??
You always choose such interesting things.
Sounds sad and intriguing all at the same time.
I'm posting my first WOW in a while - been slacking again. :)
Hope everyone has a great reading {and other wise} week. Wishing lots of laughter to all, no matter what! :)
I love the cover and this book sounds wonderful!
This book sounds really good and potentially heart breaking.
Check out my WOW.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Great pick! I had not heard of this one, but it sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing :) My WoW
Fireworks!! Ohh, Jill, I'm so in love with this cover! And the book itself seems so sweet -- even without reading that last line, the synopsis sounds like a very touching, family-oriented novel, which I really love! <3
Another awesome pick for another awesome Wednesday, Jill! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
I like the sound of this, but it seems like way too many characters??
This one is new to me, good one! Here's our WOW
Great pick. This sounds really interesting!
Here's my WoW
Interesting choice. Family "drama" is often a really nice read if it isn't your own.
This week's WoW at BookVenturers.
Wow, yours looks awesome, as usual. Thanks for tempting me!
This book sounds heart-breaking and inspiring all at once. It's interesting how the events of life and of death can bring people together - or tear them apart.
I think I will add this to my TBR List - and pass it on to my mom :)
My WoW can be found here here.
Great pick! This one sounds like it'll be an awesome read, it's so being added to my TBR list - thank you for sharing! :)
Here's mine:

Love the title for this book! Thanks for sharing :)
Wow you always find great book discussion type reads. Have a great week and I hope you are liking the book you are reading now.
That book sounds really sad--like I'd need a whole box of kleenex to read it!
Finally managed to participate in this again! I'm excited to check out a bunch of other people's picks. :)
Never heard of it, but now can't wait to read The World Without You! Great pick!

Hi, it's my 1st time participating in WoW! Don't you have a picture WITH link I can post on the sidebar of my blog? Or is the picture in the WoW entry with link? Sorry, sometimes I'm still a bit behind when it comes to computers... ;)
Anyways, here's my WoW
Great pick, not something I'd normally read. Thanks for sharing! :)
I haven't seen this one before. Thanks for highlighting it.
This is my first WoW looking forward to doing more in the future!
Wow.... what a simple yet powerful cover!
What an awesome title as well!
See my pick here
It's the kind of book that I love to read but not read often. It sounds promising.
My WOW is about YA, but your pick makes me wonder if I'll not add this to my to-read list.
I love this event! I like seeing what other people are excited to read next.
Thanks for this great idea! I just joined in today. Here's my WoW:
