Can’t Wait for … The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

When looking for a new read, I rarely have anything specific in mind. Maybe I want a thriller, or maybe I want political nonfiction. It’s one of those things—I’ll know it when I see it. Well, today I’ve seen it. Great title. Great cover. Great blurb. Perfect timing for Can’t Wait Wednesday, huh?

Can’t Wait for … The Guest Room

Snow is once again moving into my area and I would love nothing more than to curl up on my couch with a good book. A wicked thriller, with twists, turns, and a pulse-pounding ending? Yeah, that’s the perfect way to wait out the flurries. And I think I’ve found the perfect book for just such an occasion. The only downside? It’s not out until the end of the month. I can’t wait.

Can’t Wait for … Flora’s Travelling Christmas Shop

Yes, Halloween might be upon us, but that hasn’t stopped me from stocking up on Christmas reads. Fortunately, one of my recent favorite writers, Rebecca Raisin, is offering up a festive read right on time for the holiday season. Her Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop was a complete joy back in 2019, and she’s keeping the theme going with another travelling-shop focused work. Fortunately, I don’t have to wait too long to read it, since it’s being released tomorrow, October 28th. Still … I can’t wait.

Can’t Wait for … Ternary by Kristin L. Stamper

Whenever someone asks me what I like to read, the standard answer is always some variation of, “Oh, just about anything.” Because really, I do read broadly, from cozy mysteries to political nonfiction—I’ve even been known to pick up the occasional western. However, there’s one genre that I’ve neglected during most of my reading life:

Can’t Wait for … How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton

While a common background for characters often produces the fan-favorite ‘enemies-to-lovers’, it’s just as true that opposites attract both couples and readers. For

Can’t Wait for … It Never Ends: A Memoir with Nice Memories! by Tom Scharpling

Growing up, the only time I really listened to the radio was riding in the car with my father, which meant hearing either Mike Shannon call Cardinals baseball or Bruce Williams give business advice. As an adult, I’ve pretty much phased it out entirely. However, thanks to the pandemic forcing me to seek out some

Can’t Wait for … Down the Hatch by M.C. Beaton and R.W. Green

Who said death means you have to give up living? That’s certainly not the case for everyone’s favorite temperamental PR executive turned temperamental sleuth. While M.C. Beaton, the much beloved mystery writer, passed away at the end of 2019, but one of her most famous and heralded creations, Agatha Raisin, continued on a brand new
