"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Hours Count

"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:

The Hours Count
By Jillian Cantor
Publication Date: October 20

 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.

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

    This book sounds very interesting. I don't think I've read a book set in the 50s! My WoW this week is for my book coming out in September! I've been a book blogger for years, and now I get to be the author. I'm excited!

    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.
