This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Truth According to Us
Pub. Date: June 9, 2015
Summary:
From the co-author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society comes
a wise, witty, and exuberant novel that
illuminates the power of loyalty and forgiveness, memory and truth, and
the courage it takes to do what's right. Annie Barrows
once again evokes the charm and eccentricity of a small town filled with
extraordinary characters. Her new novel, The Truth According to Us,
brings to life an inquisitive young girl, her beloved aunt, and the
alluring visitor who changes the course of their destiny forever.
As you might recall if you've been a long-time reader of mine, I am such a huge fan of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and even though Annie Barrows was a co-author on that book, I am very eager to give her newest book a try. Though I don't read historical literature as much as I'd like to, I still love it, and this book looks like an incredibly good excuse to delve back into the genre.
What's your Waiting on Wednesday pick this week? I'd love to hear from you. It's such a great way to learn about new books!
This has SUCH a pretty cover! I love the sound of it. Thanks for putting it on my radar!

Thanks, Hafsah! I'm checking out your post right now. :)
DeleteLooks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for soooo many things. Well, in part I'm just waiting until I decide I've cleared enough space on my to-read shelf to allow myself back into a book store, but there are also a few new releases I can't wait for on the list: http://www.bookpunks.com/ive-got-my-eye-on-you-nikkis-book-wishlist/
I just checked out your post. I know what you mean-- so many books, so little time. I *try* to keep myself away from bookstores with a TBR as big as mine is, but I have the occasional moment of weakness...
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Nikki!
I'm looking forward to this one too. Interested in seeing how this author does with an adult book after the Guernsey book (which I loved). But that one was mostly her aunt's book, I think. Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteSo true. I wonder how her voice will come across without her aunt's influence. Thanks for visiting my post, Kay!
DeleteI haven't heard of this book before but it sounds like something I might enjoy, so thank you for sharing! :-) I'm a new follower too by the way so hiya Rosie :-) Here's my WoW if you would like to check it out :D have a great day :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Emma! Mind sending me a link to your bloglovin' so I can follow you back?
DeleteI loved The Guernsey Literary...etc. book...LOL. The title is a mouth full, though, isn't it? This one sounds good...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “CORRUPTED”
I know-- it's such an awkward title, but a really lovely book!
DeleteI also checked out your post. Thanks for checking out my blog, Laurel!
Oh this sounds great -- I actually just requested an ARC of this one so I am waiting for it, too!!
ReplyDeleteNew follower, thanks for stopping by My WoW!!
Oooh! Where did you request it? NetGalley?
DeleteThanks for following, Eva! Send me a link to your bloglovin', and I will follow you right back!
Great Homely cover art. Never read any books from this author can you make any recommendation for a person just getting started with this author?

Hi, Jason. The only other book I've read of hers is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I think she also has some kids books out. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI haven't heard of this author before. Now, after reading that blurb, I'm going to check her out. This book sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Anytime, Ayanami! Same to you!
DeleteThis sounds wonderful! I had no idea she would soon have a new book out. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI was so thrilled when I found out, Caryn. I saw the ARC on NetGalley and knew I had to spread the word.
DeleteI had not heard of this one until now, but it sounds really good. And the cover is really cute!
