Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week is one book I’m really anxious to read because I’ve been waiting forever it seems for him to come out with another book. It is And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. Unfortunately I still have a long wait as it doesn’t release until May 21/13. I have read both of his other books The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns and they rate among my absolute favorites. Needless to say this is a must read for me!
Here is a bit about the book from Penguin.com…
An unforgettable novel about finding a lost piece of yourself in someone else
Khaled Hosseini, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.

It sounds so good and I just can’t wait to get it in my hands! What about all of you – what you are anxiously waiting for?
I liked both of his previous novels so I’m looking forward to this as well!
Can’t wait! Loved this author’s previous books and this one has been long overdue:)
The settings of the novel and the fact the story becomes more complex as it goes on – looks like a good book to wait for!
I cannot wait for this book! The Kite Runner is one of my absolute favorite books ever.
Just preordered it! I taught The Kite Runner to my World Literature students and they loved it!
I loved his two previous books and can’t wait to read this one. My daughter works at a magazine in NYC and they asked her to read an ARC. She said it was fantastic – even better than the others!
I cannot wait for this book to come out!! So excited!
I haven’t even read his first two books and I’m excited about this one!
I love this author, and can’t wait to see what this book is like. Great pick for today, Dar! I think we all are waiting on this one!!
I did not know he has a new book coming out
I just found out about this book, I am so excited, he is a great author.
This one does sound very good! I haven’t read either of his other novels but after reading your synopsis here I am thinking I really should.
For me, it’s the other way around–the books are waiting for me! But this does sound very good. I loved The Kite Runner movie. 🙂
This is one of my must-read-as-soon-as-it-comes-out books!
