"Waiting On" Wednesday: Lake People

"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:

Lake People
By Abi Maxwell
Publication Date: February 19

From Amazon:

As an infant, Alice Thornton was discovered in Kettleborough, New Hampshire, in a boathouse by the lake; adopted by a young, childless couple; raised with no knowledge of the women who came before her. Alice grows up aching for an acceptance she can't quite imagine, trying to find it first with an older man, then with one who can't love her back, and finally in the love she feels for one she has never met. And all the while, she feels a mysterious pull to the lake. As Alice edges ever closer to her past, Lake People beautifully evokes the interweaving of family history and individual fate, and the intangible connections we feel to the places where we were born.


What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    I wish I could participate in this, but we have our regular WOW feature on Weds. Am going to have to swing by here regularly to catch up with you all though. What a great blog event!

    And in case anyone wants a quick cheatsheet of upcoming books, we do the weekly New YA Books in Stores Next Week feature on Fridays, along with author interviews and giveaways. Hope you'll stop by to enter. :) (We have eight new releases to giveaway this week!)
