Can’t-Wait Wednesday: Meet the Newmans by Jennifer Niven

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 fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

While this book just came out, I’m including it in this month’s Can’t-Wait Wednesday because I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and it’s on hold, waiting for me at the library. Dare I throw caution to the wind and change my library day to a weekday instead of Saturday?! 

400 pages, Hardcover, First published January 6, 2026

I heard a lot of great things about this book and comparisons to Lessons in Chemistry which I loved. Excited to pick up my library hold, whatever day that might be this week!

About Me

Welcome! I started my career as a children’s librarian, later becoming a public library director and now I’m a stay at home mom. While my career might have changed, my love of reading has been a constant since I was in 4th grade, and I read over 200 books a year. I love talking about books and connecting readers of all ages with just the right book. Thanks for reading!
