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.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I don't really have a synopsis for this one yet. You guys may remember how much I enjoyed What's Bred in the Bone, a sci-fi novel featuring my beloved canines. If not, HERE is my review. I know the author planned to release the next one in the series in May, but not until I contacted her did I have any idea that she had a novella coming out by the end of the March. Here is also a link to an article on Weird Sisters Publishing which came out on the blog detailing the cover process. Make sure to check it out HERE.
CASSIUS'S PICK:
SYNOPSIS: Twelve-year-old Epic McDade isn't ready for middle school. He'd rather help out at his family's dog-friendly bed n' breakfast all summer, or return to his alternative elementary school in the fall, where learning feels safe. But change comes in all shapes and fur colors. When Carmelito, California is named America's #1 Dog-Friendly Town, all the top dogs and their owners pour into Epic's sleepy seaside neighborhood for a week of celebration.
The McDades are in dog heaven with all the new business until a famous dog's jewel-encrusted collar goes missing. Every guest is a suspect, and Epic will have to embrace new friends and new ideas to sniff out the culprit before the week is through.
WHY CASS CAN'T WAIT: I noticed Mom has been reading some MG lately. When I asked her about this, because yes, Mom and I talk, she said it was a great escape from the craziness going on in the world. I can see Mom's anxiety creeping in some so my pick this week is all about making her feel better and who wouldn't feel great in a town filled with dogs???
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT ON THIS WEEK???
I agree with MG being an escape! Some people read Romance or cozies when they want to decompress. I read Middle Grades. 📚✨
ReplyDeleteTell Cass his pick is going on my TBR. 👍✨
I am just glad that we all have our comfort reads. I'll pass on the news to Cass :)
DeleteBoth of these are going on my list now!
ReplyDeleteKid books can be a great escape from the real world, can't they?
ReplyDeleteYes they can.
DeleteI love the cover for A Dog-Friendly Town. It's so cute and it sounds good too. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable as well.
DeleteThey both sound so good! I love the cover for A Dog Friendly Town!!
ReplyDeleteIt is downright adorable right?
DeleteI hope you like it when you read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
DeleteI love the look of The Other Side of Fear. Kinda has that old school cover vibe too.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd really enjoy What's Bred in the Bone. Sci-fi and dogs - how can you go wrong???
DeleteBoth look really good. Although I'm a cat lover, I do like dogs too :)
ReplyDeleteI like both. We've rescued some cats in the neighborhood before but they were always outside cats.
DeleteOooh! Both of these books sound interesting, especially the Other Side of Fear!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!

The first in that series was so good.
DeleteOooh I want Dog Friendly Town! Good choice Cass!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might want that one.
DeleteLove the dog picks again as usual! Thanks for visiting my Wednesday post at Lisa Loves Literature earlier!
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome. Thanks for stopping by The Farm as well.
DeleteA Dog-Friendly Town sounds (and looks) super cute and sweet! How can you go wrong with all those doggos, hm? I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to read it. :3
ReplyDeleteThanks Sammie.
DeleteBoth of these look fun in very different ways. I hope you love both of them! :)
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Wishful Endings
The chances are very good I will love both I am sure.
DeleteI still need to read What's Bred in the Bone! I better hurry up with it, because The Other Side of Fear looks great.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Yes you do!
DeleteI understand your mum's worries Cass, as I have them too! My nerves are all over the place, going up and down on an hourly basis! It's a tough time for us humans Cass so you need to give your mum and dad lots of love and cuddles!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about Cass and Apollo - they are excellent at taking care of their humans.
DeleteCass is right; a Dog Friendly town looks so therapeutic!
ReplyDeleteWe all need therapy dogs right now right?
DeleteAww Cass is so sweet. We all need an escape from anxiety right now, and both choices have dogs, so what could be better??
ReplyDeleteYes, we an always use more dogs.
DeleteThe Other Side of Fear looks interesting - I'll go and check out What's Bred in the Bone too.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Escape is good. The books covers are cute. I hope you enjoy your books and they provide the anxiety relief needed!
ReplyDeleteI love it when a surprise book or novella in a series that I love is released. I agree with Cass that a book about a town filled with dogs sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteA Dog Friendly Town looks like a cute MG read. I might have to snag a copy of that for my 12 year old. :)
