Can't Wait Wednesday-The Blackout Book Club

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing The Blackout Book Club by Amy Lynn Green. If I am being honest I am tired of books set in World War II, I have overdosed! But, I LOVE Amy's writing and I truly cannot wait to read this one because I know it will be fantastic!!!

 
About the book (from Goodreads):

An impulsive promise to her brother before he goes off to the European Front puts Avis Montgomery in the unlikely position of head librarian in small-town Maine. Though she has never been much of a reader, when wartime needs threaten to close the library, she invents a book club to keep its doors open. The women she convinces to attend the first meeting couldn't be more different--a wealthy spinster determined to aid the war effort, an exhausted mother looking for a fresh start, and a determined young war worker.

At first, the struggles of the home front are all the club members have in common, but over time, the books they choose become more than an escape from the hardships of life and the fear of the U-boat battles that rage just past their shores. As the women face personal challenges and band together in the face of danger, they find they share more in common with each other than they think. But when their growing friendships are tested by secrets of the past and present, they must decide whether depending on each other is worth the cost.

  1. Nice choice, Cindy. It sounds really good. I've heard about the u-boats off the Maine coast but don't know much about them.
