Waiting on Wednesday 09/15/21
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!

Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough (April 12, 2022 by William Morrow)
I swear I will read anything this woman writes, and I think I love her work even more now that she’s writing thrillers. Insomnia sounds like another good one.
“In this twisty, mind-bending thriller from the bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes, Emma Averell worries that her crippling insomnia is a sign that she’s slowly going insane—like the mother she’s worked so hard to leave in her past.
Emma Averell loves her life—her high-powered legal career, her two beautiful children, and her wonderful stay-at-home husband—but it wasn’t always so perfect. When she was just five years old, Emma and her older sister went into foster care because of a horrific incident with their mother. Her sister can remember a time when their mother was loving and “normal,” but Emma can only remember her as one thing—a monster. And that monster emerged right around their mother’s fortieth birthday, the same age Emma is approaching now.
Emma desperately wants to keep her successful life separate from her past, so she has always hidden her childhood trauma. But then she’s unable to sleep, and now losing time during the day, also one of the first symptoms her mother showed. Is the madness in her blood, just as her mother predicted? Could she end up hurting her family in her foggy, frenetic state? Or is she truly beginning to lose her mind?”

Todd,
I see you have a photography blog. Do you also have a book blog?

Sorry for the late reply, Bookstooge! No, I don’t currently have a book blog. I’ve considered it but I just don’t think I’d have the time to manage both without both suffering. Maybe if I ever retire and have that extra time. 🙂 I do occassionally slip in something about books on my photography blog, but that’s usually just at the end of each quarter or perhaps a standalone review once in a great long while. Thanks for asking!
