Can't wait Wednesday-Somewhere Above it All

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 a book that is extra special to me. It is written by a friend I made years ago when we were both living in Singapore. Writing and getting a book published has been a dream of hers for quite a few years and I am excited to see her dream come true. This week I am thrilled to share Somewhere Above it All by Holli Fawcett Clayton, it is expected to release January 11, 2022. I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

Things We Didn't Say

Things We Didn't Say

 Title: Things We Didn't Say

Author: Amy Lynn Green

Publisher: Bethany House Publishers

Genre: Historical Fiction

My Review:

I read every detail of this book, including the author's note at the end. I learned that this is the author's debut novel, which I never would have imagined!! This story is incredibly well-written in an epistolary manner (which might be a turn off to some, but I really enjoyed).
