Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
SYNOPSIS: Sam is about to propose to his girlfriend Libby, and his neighbours in Christmas Street all think they know the right way to do it. With their help - and sometimes hinderance - Sam gains a fiancee and the wedding planning begins.
Meanwhile, Sam's nine-year-old son Teddy and his friend Pari - with their constant companion Jack the street dog - are fascinated by the arrival of a mysterious new neighbour on the street who has rented the empty, run-down house. Their attempts to spy on her are thwarted by her staying indoors with the curtains drawn most of the time. But soon Christmas Street begins to work its magic and Millie is reluctantly drawn into street activities.
As Millie starts to relax into thinking she can have a different life, maybe even with Jasper, the local carpenter, someone turns up from her past to threaten that. But with all of the street looking out for her, Millie's Christmas will be filled with hope and promise.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: Many of you know I loved "A Dog Called Jack" when I read it earlier this year. In fact, I've been waiting for this sequel since I finished it. The release date above is for the UK, which is all I can find so far but it is one I'll definitely be ordering from Book Depository and I'm sure it will be a great December read for the holiday - if I can wait that long.
In case you need a reminder of how much I loved the first one, here's a link to my review:
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
Oooh! This sounds like a cute read! Great pick!

Thanks for stopping by
DeleteI can imagine how much you are looking forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteSo much but I know I won't be able to read a Christmas book until December so even once it arrives, I'll be waiting a tad longer.
DeleteI'm such a sucker for cutesy Christmas romances but it's been years since I've actually read any. Thinking I should add this to my list for this upcoming season. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has such a great cast of characters. I absolutely loved the first one.
DeleteLooks like such an adorable read! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteAt first I was worried because there isn't a dog on the cover, and then I read about Jack. This sounds super cute, and I'm loving the snow on the cover because were having a terrible heat wave right now!
ReplyDeleteI do believe that Jack should be walking down a street with them. I mean, an abstract bird made the cover so why not Jack?
DeleteWaiting can be hard! I hope you love this one as much as you enjoyed A Dog Called Jack!
ReplyDeleteI do too!
DeleteLooks like a sweet read, perfect for the holidays! Hope you get your hands on it soon!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Thanks Lisa.
DeleteYes! I love sharing Christmas books, I also have a Christmas books FB group and fanpage LOL AND it will soon be upon us again... I'll share your post there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hump Day! Here's my Wednesday post.x
Oh thanks and I'll have to check out the facebook group!
DeleteIt does look like it would be a fabulous holiday read!
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping but after reading the first one, I'm sure it will be.
DeleteThis sounds like such a cute read! Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley.
DeleteIt's so strange to think about Christmas books in June, but it will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI know. This year is flying already.
DeleteThis book sounds right up my alley! I am here for all of the Christmas books and this one sounds like it is going to be super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI do like to work in a few Christmas-themed books around the holiday.
DeleteAw, this one looks super sweet! Love a good Christmas book :)

Thanks Mogsy, me too.
DeleteThere's a dog called Jack! I feel I should read this simply on that basis - can't believe there is Christmas in the title though - is that time already starting to loom.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Yes, Jack is AWESOME. You should really get your hands on the first one "A Dog Called Jack." It takes place in the summer and it's such a good read.
DeleteThis sounds super cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ali.
DeleteI hope this sequel lives up to all your expectations!
ReplyDeleteI have confidence it will.
