Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the Jill at Breaking the Spine. So let me introduce you my Can’t Wait Wednesday #125 pick. Click on the book’s cover to add it to your Goodreads shelf (opens in a new window).
Length: 336 pages.
Genre: Women’s Fiction
From The Publisher:
A young romance writer makes a discovery that throws her elitist family into chaos.
Emma Page grew up the black sheep in a bookish household, raised to believe fine literature is the only worthy type of fiction. Her parents, self-proclaimed “serious” authors who run their own vanity press, The Mighty Pages, mingle in highbrow social circles that look down on anything too popular or mainstream, while her sister, Jess, is a powerful social-media influencer whose stylish reviews can make or break a novel.
Hiding her own romance manuscript from her disapproving parents, Emma finds inspiration at the family cottage among the “fluff” they despise: the juicy summer romances that belonged to her late grandmother. But a chance discovery unearthed from her Gigi’s belongings reveals a secret that has the power to ruin her parents’ business and destroy their reputation in the industry—a secret that has already fallen into the hands of an unscrupulous publishing insider with a grudge to settle. Now Emma must decide: As much as she’s dreamed of the day her parents are forced to confront their own egos, can she really just sit back and watch The Mighty Pages be exposed and their legacy destroyed?
Why I Can’t Wait To Read The Page Turner:
Viola Shipman has become an auto-read author for me thanks to his ability to craft timeless, meaningful stories, often centred around family. In his author’s notes for this book, he shares that Emma’s story is about overcoming fear and discovering her own voice. This sounds like such a timely read. I can’t wait to read it!

I’m really looking forward to reading Red Clay by Charles B Fancher. It’s a recent release that I pre-ordered but want to finish my current reads first. Soon, though. Very soon.
