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. It's
based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am sharing Liz Tolsma's upcoming release A Picture of Hope. It releases on October 1, 2021.

I absolutely adore Pepper Basham's writing. I do not know if all her books have literary references and bookish quotes, but the ones that I have read, do, and I LOVE it!!

Publisher: Barbour
Genre: Historical Fiction, WWII, Mystery, Romance
My Review:
Mystery, intrigue, and a look at what a cryptographer does makes for an interesting read.
Author: Carey Scott

Genre: Bible Study, Deovtional

My Review:
This was my first time reading a book by Carey Scott, but I look forward to reading more of her works!
This book can be read very quickly or slowly, depending on how the reader wants to take it. The book is not broken into days or chapters. It is simply a heading, followed by a Bible verse, and the section ends with a quick devotional related to the section.
Title: The Scarlet Pen
Series: True Colors (each stand alone)
Author: Jennifer Uhlarik
Publisher: Barbour Publishing
Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, True Crime
My Review:
Not only did this book capture my attention from the first scene, but I also disliked Stephen Dee Richardson from that moment on! It made me wonder what Emma saw in him. Emma is sweet, caring, adores her siblings, and seems to be more in love with the idea of being in love, than actually in love with Stephen. She is also headstrong and impulsive, which gets her into trouble.

My Review:
This was a very fascinating and original story. I am learning to appreciate dual-time period novels and what I can learn about the history that each novel portrays. In Bridge of Gold, the story is told around the Golden Gate Bridge.
