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. Home sweet home?  Can’t Wait! Description Some secrets don't die―they wait. When Julia Barlow loses her job and her apartment, she has nowhere left to go but Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. Officially, she's there to check in on her aging grandmother.

The Women in White by Sarah Pekkanen @sarahpekkanen @saskiaaudio @macmillan.audio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #TheWomenInWhite

the setup… Riley Bell steps into the home of Betty Sadler to interview for the position as her caretaker and it’s like a step back in time to the 1960s. There’s no WiFi, television or other modern technology. It appears that Betty has lived in isolation, frozen in time for 60 years until the recent death of her husband, Douglas. Riley eventually learns that in 1964, Betty was part of a parapsychology study at Virginia’s Marquis University, led by Dr. Silas Trimble. She was Girl Number 4 and Betty wants to reconnect with the other three young women in the program who became her best friends…Ivy, Kathleen and Helen.

Lady X by Molly Fader @mollyfaderauthor @hlaserwolf @prhaudio @prhaudio.bsky.social #BookSky #LadyX

the setup… It’s the summer of 2024 and in the blink of an eye, Margot Cooper’s life imploded. Her Hollywood star husband Jack is exposed as having sent sexually explicit pictures to young girls on social media. Their carefully curated marriage was a sham, along with the brand she built. She and sixteen-year old daughter Skye flee to her parents’ home in Pittsburgh to escape the madness, joining her sister Julia who now lives there. As they work to sort through the attic, they discover a box with newspaper clippings from the summer of 1977 New York City where the Son of Sam terrorized the boroughs, the infamous blackout brought chaos and Lady X struck fear into the hearts of badly behaving men.
