This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Mothers
Publication Date: April 9
From Amazon:
Jesse and Ramon are a happy, loving couple but after years trying to get pregnant they turn to adoption, relieved to think that once they navigate the bureaucratic path to parenthood they will finally be able to bring a child into their family. But nothing prepared them for the labyrinthine process—for the many training sessions and approvals, for the ocean of advice, for the birthmothers who would contact them but not choose them, for the women who would call claiming that they had chosen Jesse and Ramon but weren’t really pregnant. All the while, husband and wife grapple with notions of race, class, culture, and changing family dynamics as they navigate the difficult, absurd, and often heart-breaking terrain of domestic open adoption.

haven't heard of the mothers, looks good though, nice cover! - Katie @ Inkk
I was lucky enough to get a ARC a few weeks ago. Cant wait to read it.
This sounds incredibly realistic and heart-wrenching. Great choice, thanks for sharing!
My WoW
The Mothers sounds very heavy. I have a lot of adoption in my family so it would be interesting to read that subject from a story stance.
Really interesting pick! Thanks for sharing :D
Cool pick!
Btw, sorry I had to repost my link. The first one I put up was wrong and broken. Thank you! (If possible, please delete entry number 17)
Have a lovely day!
Louisse @ The Soul Sisters
Nice pick. Thanks for sharing!
Not something I would usually pick up but it sounds interesting.
Sounds like a tear-jerker, and a great choice for a snow day read. Nice pick. :)
See what I picked this week at Read. Sleep. Repeat.
This seems like a book I'd like to read! It sounds enlightening and very interesting. :) Thanks for sharing!
Here's my Waiting On Wednesday post.
Happy reading!

The Mothers sounds really interesting, though it's not a genre I usually read. :)
Happy Reading!

My WOW
I have yet to read Gilmore's Something Red, but this one sounds really good.
Love the sound of this one! Thanks for sharing....
I have a friend who has waded through these waters once and is now dipping her toes in for another round. I can't imagine what she's gone through but maybe if I read this one, I would have a better idea.
Interesting choice. You always find some interesting books.

That is such a great, interesting pick. Would definitely give insight into the process and the overall longing of some to become parents. Have a great WoW! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven

Great pick, sounds like a pretty emotional read. Have a Merry Christmas!
This one sounds good, but potentially quite heart-breaking. I hope it's not too rough on the readers!
This sounds quite heavy and emotional. Lovely choice, Jill!
My pick of the week is a YA novel on friendship. Come and visit me :)
Have a gorgeous Wednesday!
Nice choice! I've never heard of it! And I love some of these picks by the other bloggers! :)
This looks very interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't know if I want to read it just yet... I'm in the middle of trying to adopt myself!
Oh, I bet that's good!
Looks like an interesting read on a new topic for me. Thanks for sharing! :)
Best,

Another good looking one!
Great pick! Sounds like a wonderful, emotional story. Thanks for sharing!
That sounds really interesting -- and yet heartbreaking too.
LOVE the cover! There are so many books out there about life after adoption, but not many about how hard it is to actually adopt a child. Sounds like a great book!
This book sounds great, I can't wait to get my hands on it!
What an emotionally charged topic! I bet it's a great read. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Sounds interesting.
I haven't heard of Mothers but it looks interesting!
My WoW
