Can’t Wait Wednesday

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

      Go on, you know you want too! Apparently it’s been going a while, but I only really just discovered it. It’s a fun way of sharing about what books we’re all hoping to read.
