Can’t Wait for … Hex Appeal
From my previous Top Ten Tuesday post, to my previous Can’t Wait Wednesday, to my latest review, I’ve spent a lot of time this past week talking about Christmas. As much as I love a cozy Christmas book—and trust me, I’ll be reading a lot of them between now and December—it is only September. Halloween…

Can’t Wait for … A Christmas Candy Killing
‘Tis the season for … Well, technically, we’re headed into the season of pumpkin spice, changing leaves, and the glorious duology of holidays known as Halloween and Thanksgiving. However, that hasn’t stopped me from seeking out new winter reads—those books steeped in piles of snow, cozy fires, and, oh yes, Christmas. Fortunately, Crooked Lane Books…

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 … Cackle by Rachel Harrison
It’s amazing how often just the right book can come across my desk at just the right time. Recent weather in my area has been less than stellar, with temperatures bottoming out and rain pouring as though it’s trying to drown the mud. The air feels more like late fall rather than spring, and I’ve…

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
Part of the reason I love reading romance is, while there’s a common set of time-tested tropes that remain incredibly popular, authors have to find creative ways to launch people into relationships.
