For all this talk of festive magic and cheer right now, I’m in the mood for some regular magic. Classic magic. Unleaded magic. Your mama’s keep-some-in-the-pantry-just-in-case magic. While there are plenty of writers who know to use this winning ingredient, not many can weave blissful romance with an enchanting twist quite like Saranna DeWylde. Fortunately,Continue reading “Can’t Wait for … Fairy Godmothers, Inc. by Saranna DeWylde”

Can’t Wait for … Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
Sometimes I stumble across a blurb so great—that so perfectly fills a bookish need I didn’t even know I had—that I don’t even know how to discuss it. So this week, I’m going to let the blurb speak for itself. But seriously, I cannot wait for this book.
Can’t Wait for … The Restoration of Celia Fairchild by Marie Bostwick
I grew up reading advice columns. When my parents would read newspapers, I’d grab for the comics and, in turn, the half-page devoted to people and their issues. The reason I actually started reading them has been lost to time and my brain, but every Sunday I was engrossed in the solutions offered up byContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … The Restoration of Celia Fairchild by Marie Bostwick”
Can’t Wait for … The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
One of the things I love about reading romance is that, as a genre, it’s packed with tropes. If I come across a storyline that I’m particularly excited about, there’s a good chance there are other great books out there that use similar elements. Friends to lovers. Mistaken identity. Second chance romance. Sign me up;Continue reading “Can’t Wait for … The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon”
Can’t Wait for … Christmas Island by Natalie Normann
You know what I—and I’m sure many others—could use this year? An escape. While that’s not going to happen right now in the traditional sense, it does mean that my reading has gone in a very specific direction. I’m grabbing at bright stories, filled with a little adventure, a little romance, and a lot ofContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … Christmas Island by Natalie Normann”
Can’t Wait for … A Glimmer of Death by Valerie Wilson Wesley
In terms of reading, there’s nothing more comforting than a good cozy mystery. I mean, you know, setting aside the whole murder thing, they’re a lot of fun. Great characters in a quirky set of circumstances. An engaging plot that leaves me guessing. Plus, they usually take place in communities so idyllic and tightknit thatContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … A Glimmer of Death by Valerie Wilson Wesley”
Can’t Wait for … Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March
What a Wednesday. Like many people in the United States, I’m running off of little sleep, I’m probably not hydrated enough, and the only body parts I’ve exercised in the past twenty-four hours are the fingers I’m using to refresh election results. There’s a lot of uncertainty right now, so tonight I’m diving deep forContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March”
Can’t Wait for … A Phở Love Story by Loan Le
I’ve written about this a lot in the past, but food-themed fiction always goes right to the top of my to-be-read pile. When a food focus is masterfully intertwined in a story, it provides such a delicious insight into characters and the world they inhabit … Though really, even a passing food reference can beContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … A Phở Love Story by Loan Le”
Can’t Wait for … Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green
Books about books, bookstores, libraries, or pretty much any other bookish connection automatically go to the top of my to-be-read pile. So when I recently came across an upcoming release with ‘bookseller’ in the title, a battle between bookstores in the blurb, and a cat knocking batting books on the cover? Yeah, that was oneContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green”
Can’t Wait for … Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern
There are a few things that automatically make me perk up when reading a blurb for a book—certain plots, character traits, or other bits that make a book instantly something I want to check out. Recently, I stumbled across a future release that involves two of my favorite things: a plot that revolves around aContinue reading “Can’t Wait for … Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern”
