“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

A Longer Fall by Charlaine Harris (January 14, 2020 by Gallery/Saga Press)
This week, I’m waiting on the second novel of the Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris. The first book took me by surprise and I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it, so I’m really looking forward to see where the story and characters will go from here.
“#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns with the second of the Gunnie Rose series, in which Lizbeth is hired onto a new crew, transporting a crate into Dixie, the self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States. What the crate contains is something so powerful, that forces from across three territories want to possess it.
In this second thrilling installment of the Gunnie Rose series, Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew for a seemingly easy protection job, transporting a crate into Dixie, just about the last part of the former United States of America she wants to visit. But what seemed like a straight-forward job turns into a massacre as the crate is stolen. Up against a wall in Dixie, where social norms have stepped back into the last century, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate as what’s inside can spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse mysteries and Midnight, Texas trilogy) is at her best here, building the world of this alternate history of the United States, where magic is an acknowledged but despised power.”

It is such a long time since I have read her books Mogsy! I loved her series with Sookie but had no idea of this new one!

I loved the first book of this series! It’s worth a try if you loved Sookie 🙂

I’ve somehow never read a thing by Charlaine Harris, but every blurb of hers sounds like something right up my alley— this one included!

This series was definitely more up my alley than her Sookie Stackhouse 🙂

I’m not sure if this series would be quite my thing but it does sound totally different from other books by the author. Interesting!

It is! I couldn’t get into her vampire series, but I loved the first book of this one.

I was just starting to wonder if Charlaine was returning to this series or not. I still haven’t read the first book, but kind of wanted to make myself finish her Midnight Texas series first! Hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

I’ll be thrilled to read this one but I have to admit, the cover isn’t doing much for me. The first one was kick-ass! I’m still excited for it though.

I agree! This cover doesn’t entice me as much as the first one did.
