Waiting on Wednesday (38)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme originally created by Jill at Breaking the Spine and now hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings under the heading “Can’t Wait Wednesday” where bloggers share books they're excited for, that have yet to be released. I’m sticking with the original name “Waiting On Wednesday” because I like continuity.



For this Waiting on Wednesday, I picked Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

Release Date: April 1, 2025

Book Summary: 

"There might be no such a thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediately yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an a@@hole wrong…

. . . unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake. But after one incredible and seemingly endless date—possibly the best in living history—Samantha is forced to admit the truth, that her family is in crisis and any kind of relationship would be impossible. Samantha begs Xavier to forget her. To remember their night together as a perfect moment, as crushing as that may be.

Only no amount of distance or time is nearly enough to forget that something between them. And the only thing better than one single perfect memory is to make a life—and even a love—worth remembering."

My Thoughts: 

After rating Abby Jimenez's “Just For The Summer” 5 stars, I'm eager for a follow-up and curious about the direction her new work will take.

I've never claimed to be much of a Taylor Swift fan, although I liked “Midnights” well enough, so the title doesn't influence my judgment either way. Pop music is just pop music to me.

Thinking back, I'm not entirely sure if I've ever read a romance with a veterinarian hero. However, since I was a pet mom long before I became a kiddo mom, this could definitely be swoon-worthy. Here’s to hoping!

Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection - Secret Santa and Other Gifts


This week is a special one, as it allows me to share this much-delayed holiday post! Between motherhood, life, and writing - plus the unexpected setback of losing then finding my phone again - I hadn't been able to put these thoughts together until now. It's finally here – let’s take a look back at my holiday gifts. Although the holidays have been long gone, I'm grateful to take this opportunity and show my appreciation to my Secret Santas!



My TBTB Santa Goodies!! A super thank you to my Santa. You picked great gifts for me. Thank you so much for the books on my wishlist. I'm actually still using the Christmas mug to drink coffee, keeps the spirit of the season alive. I burned through the candle pretty quickly and the scrapbooking supplies are perfect.



I also enjoyed iggppc's #geekysantaswap. This year I was so happy to receive super cool Batman graphic novels and cute stickers. Geeky Santa, I thank you very much!


Bookish gifts from family and friends for my birthday and Christmas. Including: A beautiful outdoorsy planner from B&N, sci-fi short stories and nerd stuff, writerly gifts, and toddler fun for next Christmas season.
