Can't Wait Wednesday - The Captain's Daughter by Meg Mitchell Moore



Linking up with Wishful Endings today. 


Every week I skim through the "Coming Soon" list at Barnes and Noble for the following week.  
I love looking at the covers and selecting my upcoming favorites.  Yesterday, I picked 10 of those covers without looking at anything else for my Top Ten Tuesday list.  
Today, however, I skimmed the blurbs to see which ones I really couldn't wait for...and here it is:



The Captain's Daughter by Meg Mitchell Moore




Here's the synopsis and first remarks from Amazon: 
(I've highlighted in red the parts that yell at me loud and clear that I must read this book!)


For fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Emma Straub comes an emotionally gripping novel about a woman who returns to her hometown in coastal Maine and finds herself pondering the age-old question of what could have been

Growing up in Little Harbor, Maine, the daughter of a widowed lobsterman, Eliza Barnes could haul a trap and row a skiff with the best of them. But she always knew she'd leave that life behind. Now that she's married, with two kids and a cushy front-row seat to suburban country club gossip in an affluent Massachusetts town, she feels adrift.

When her father injures himself in a boating accident, Eliza pushes the pause button on her own life to come to his aid. But when she arrives in Maine, she discovers her father's situation is more dire than he let on. Eliza's homecoming is further complicated by the reemergence of her first love--and memories of their shared secret. Then Eliza meets Mary Brown, a seventeen-year-old local who is at her own crossroad, and Eliza can't help but wonder what her life would have been like if she'd stayed.

Filled with humor, insight, summer cocktails, and gorgeous sunsets, THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER is a compassionate novel about the life-changing choices we make and the consequences we face in their aftermath.

Day 418 - Top Ten Tuesday from the Archives - Favorite Covers from Next Week's "Coming Soon" List


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish who are away on maternity leave till August.  
Choosing my own topics is harder than I thought, y'all! 
I think I know what I'm doing next week, but it will take a little more time than I had tonight. 


Top Ten Top Covers from Next Week's (week of July 17) New Releases: 


My favorite "Coming Soon" list is the one published on Barnes and Noble's website.  
I'm a cover fiend.  
There are some books I know I'll buy because of the author or because it's the newest installment in a series I read...but if those two things don't come into play, what makes me pick a book up to examine closer...or not...is the cover.  
I purposely scrolled through the Barnes and Noble list for next week, looking ONLY at the covers.

Here they are:

































Which covers would pull you in??
Anybody know anything about any of these selections?

I'll choose one of these for my Can't Wait Wednesday choice for tomorrow after I investigate more what they're actually about :)
