"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.
A new collection of linked short stories from Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse books, the basis for HBO’s True Blood, and the Midnight Crossroad series, the inspiration for Midnight, Texas on NBC.
Principal Anne DeWitt knew her past could catch up with her, but she didn’t expect it would make her late for school. Killing a man does take time though; so does disposing of the body . . . if you do it right.
After three relatively quiet years at Travis High School, it seems Anne is in danger of being exposed—even the baseball coach knows more about her former life than she ever imagined. Now, she must find out who else holds her secrets and who wants her to pay for them. . .without letting it make her tardy again. Anne still has a school to run, parents to manage, and a few students who might benefit from her unique—and deadly—experience.
Collected together for the first time in Small Kingdoms and Other Stories, “Small Kingdoms,” “Sarah Smiles,” “Small Chances,” and “Small Signs” are sure to delight fans of Charlaine Harris.
Small Kingdoms and Other Stories by Charlaine Harris is due out May 28th, 2019 from JABberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
Why am I waiting on this one? I like the way Charlaine Harris writes. And I enjoy short fiction. So this book seems to be a perfect marriage of things.
What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!
I have never read this author and the genre is not really my thing but I'm intrigued by this book. Here is my post https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2019/04/cant-wait-wednesday_17.html

She's a good writer. I hope you enjoy your pick from this week too!
DeleteOh this sounds awesome! Weirdly, I like all of Harris' other work except the Sookie Stackhouse series. Go figure -- suspect I will add this one to that list too!
ReplyDeleteI liked the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I never finished it. But I've enjoyed everything else I've read by her so far. Sometimes the most popular books just don't strike a chord. As popular as it is, not everyone loves Harry Potter.
DeleteI hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy your pick as well!
