What books are you anxiously waiting for? We'd love to hear.
I'm anxiously waiting for Skipping a Beat by Sarah Pekkanan. February 22nd is right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Jillian!!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Daughter is just great, and I can't wait for The Four Mrs. Bradwells. And who can resist I Think I Love You? I can't believe I haven't heard of that one yet. Looking forward to it!
I don't think it's a big secret that the contributors to the GIRLFRIENDS BOOK CLUB are my rock stars! So I'll give shameless shout outs to Melissa Senate's THE LOVE GODDESS' COOKING SCHOOL (I recently finished and loved!), Marilyn Brant's FRIDAY MORNINGS AT NINE (I just received an autographed copy I am most eager to devour) and Ellen Meister's upcoming THE OTHER LIFE (which if you haven't pre-ordered, do so!!)
ReplyDeleteMY JANE AUSTEN SUMMER launches March 29.
ReplyDeletePlot in a Nutshell: Woman searches for herself at Jane Austen literary Festival.
Why It's Buzzworthy: blurb from Girlfriend, Marilyn Brant!!
In addition to all the great GBC reads, I'm looking most forward to Sarah Addison Allen's THE PEACH KEEPER, which is out in March. I just love her books!
ReplyDeleteHaving had the chance to read that advance copy of Cindy Jones' MY JANE AUSTEN SUMMER, I'm onto the next good read which looks like Sarah Pekkanen's SKIPPING A BEAT and Juliette Fay's DEEP DOWN TRUE.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all the Girlfriends upcoming releases! May every one be a grand success! Dare I do it?? Okay, I will. BEAUTIFUL DISASTER, January release from Penguin Group. The Southern set novel asks this of the reader: What would you risk for a love that is greater than honor or friendship or the passing of time?
ReplyDeleteSaw this bit with link to YouTube video trailer for I THINK I LOVE YOU on Galleycat where Allison Pearson talks about her David Cassidy crush and Random House staffers spill on their first crushes:

Cute!
Jill and Cindy~thanks so much, you lovely ladies!! (Made my day to see your comments. ;)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many books I'm looking forward to reading, most especially those by my fellow Girlfriends! Hope everyone is staying WARM this week!!
Oh thank you! What a terrific list to be included in! I've just started The Paris Wife (lucky me, I have an advanced reader copy!) and just saw the trailer for I think I love you - very fun!
ReplyDeleteThe DIVINE cover for THE FOUR MS. BRADWELLS, btw, is designed by Georgia Feldman.
I can't wait to read I Think I Love You...of course, every time I read ABOUT it, I start singing the song. My kids would like to have a word with the author for some reason. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shoutout for THE KITCHEN DAUGHTER, ladies! Lots to look forward to -- spring is going to be a very busy reading season!
