Today, I’m participating in Waiting on Wednesday, a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. This event highlights the upcoming releases that we are eagerly awaiting!
Today, I am waiting for…
If You Were Here by Jen Lancaster (May 2011)
The only teaser we get about this one is from Jen Lancaster’s blog. She writes:
“I’m unveiling the cover of my first novel, coming May 2011.”
First novel?! All of her previous books were memoirs, so it looks like we’ll finally get to read some fiction from the hilarious and fabulous Jen Lancaster. I love Jen’s memoirs though I think I’m behind one or two. I have one on my shelf that I definitely need to get around to reading soon.
I absolutely love the title and the cover. It actually looks kind of heartbreaking and combined with the title, it seems like we’ll be in for some really dramatic and emotional stuff…very different from Jen’s usual. Could be super interesting!
What are you anxiously waiting for this Wednesday?
Well the cover is inviting to be sure. I am not familiar with Jen’s work, but it sounds like an author I should look into. Great pick!
I absolutely love cover! Jen’s memoirs are HILARIOUS- very snarky and in your face.
Great WoW!!!! thank you for this!!!
Thanks so much! I’ll be checking out yours later this evening!
Wow! I hadn’t heard of this one before, but it looks awesome. She looks like an amazing author. Thanks for sharing this great pick!
I’m a new follower 🙂
She is absolutely hilarious- definitely try her out!
Not familiar with the book or author but always nice to find a new one to me! Hope you get a chance to read it Jessica, May is a ways off for sure!

Thanks for this comment, Jackie! Jen Lancaster is a really funny author who absolutely tells it like it is!
I haven’t read her memoirs, but everyone seems to rave about them. I’ll be curious to hear more about the novel. Thanks for sharing!
Haha, they rave rightfully so! They are usually laugh out loud funny- which is rare!
Holy crap — how exciting! I had no idea Jen Lancaster was coming out with a novel. I have high hopes for it, of course, considering how much I love her writing… but other non-fiction writers I’ve loved, like Laurie Notaro, have released novels I’ve ended up despising. So here’s hoping this one’s different!
I have high hopes too, but you’re right…I’ve never thought about how big a transition it will be from her memoir. I definitely hope we won’t be disappointed!
I’m not familiar with this author, but this one certainly looks tempting. Thanks for sharing…
And thanks for visiting my blog.
@Laurel-Rain Snow, Her memoirs are HILARIOUS! Laugh out loud funny. Check them out 🙂
Ooo sounds cool and has a pretty cover! Great pick 😉
@Sab, I know! I love the cover.
I am obsessed with Jen Lancaster! Sooooo excited for her new novel! You DEFINITELY must read anything you have of hers right away! She’s hilarious!
@Tara, I know, I know! I still haven’t read Pretty in Plaid and whatever came out after that. I’m a bad Lancaster fan! 🙁
I haven’t read her memoirs yet, but have heard (and read) great reviews about them. Her first novel looks good too. I may have to add this to my list also.
@Shonda, Definitely do that and check out her first memoir, Bitter is the New Black! So good.
I’ve heard so many great things about her previous work, but I haven’t read any of it. I’m definitely putting her debut novel on my list. Thanks for the heads up!
@jill pinheiro, Hooray! And if you have time, I’d really recommend her first memoir, Bitter is the New Black…that’s the best one, IMO.
