Waiting on Wednesday — The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” selection is:


The Leftovers

Tom Perrotta

Publication Date: August 30

Some writers write with such easy humor and fond understanding of their characters, however absurdly they’re behaving, that I’m willing to follow those writers wherever their muse takes them. Tom Perrotta is one of those writers. If he wants to write about what happens when 100 members of a community disappear in what seems to be some type of Rapture event, then I want to read about it.

I’m waiting for Kathy Reichs’ _Flash and Bones_ and the U.S. publication of Karin Fossum’s _Bad Intentions_ , both 23 Aug, I think.

I’m fortunate enough to have a copy of this one. Perrotta is one of my favorite authors too. I’ll be hosting a giveaway for this one next week too. Stop by for a chance to win a copy before you can buy it!

Perrotta is one of those authors I keep meaning to try. Someday.
