This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Hours Count
By Jillian Cantor
From Amazon:
On June 19, 1953, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed for conspiring to commit espionage. The day Ethel was first arrested in 1950, she left her two young sons with a neighbor, and she never came home to them again. Brilliantly melding fact and fiction, Jillian Cantor reimagines the life of that neighbor, and the life of Ethel and Julius, an ordinary-seeming Jewish couple who became the only Americans put to death for spying during the Cold War.

Okay I don't read much adult fiction (as I've said before), but I would DEFINITELY read this. I love when books meld fact and fiction together; and I love learning about this sort of history! :) Thanks for sharing, Jill! <3
I did learn about the Rosenburgs in my history class, so I am definitely intrigued! Espionage history is always really fascinating and I hope this book lives up to the infamous couple.
