On My Way Through The Bookstore…
I ventured into bookstores again this weekend. Yes, the point was to stare at…I mean, sign stock of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. But, I managed to check out other books while there. One book caught my eye - WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITCHES by Lee Nichols. I’d never heard of it. Thought it sounded cute. Bought it. Here’s the cover and copy:
On the outs with her live-in boyfriend, Eve Crenshaw flees Manhattan for a different kind of island life off the coast of Maine. With the help of her college roommate, Natasha, and her friend Kim, she rents a seaside cottage and waits for her boyfriend to beg her to return.
Instead, he gets a new girlfriend.
Now Eve’s stuck on an island with no cable TV, no Starbucks and no eligible men. Desperate for diversion, the women meet every week for drinks, dubbing themselves the Wednesday Night Witches.
One stormy evening, the Witches raid Kim’s cellar and find a strange bottle of liqueur. Getting into the spirit, they each make a wish, lift their glasses and…well, no one can quite recall what happens next.
But suddenly their wishes start coming true!
Only, as life gets better and better for the Wednesday Night Witches, everything else on the island starts going to hell.…
Anyone else think this sounds interesting?

The premise sounds interesting but the blurb itself didn’t do it for me.
What -did- catch my attention was the cover, because it looks like one of the covers Jenny Crusie posted as a reject for The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes (http://www.arghink.com/2007/06/25/covers-the-unfortunate-miss-fortunes/). Go figure.

It sounds cute, and worth investigating

This sounds fun! Are you going to review it on Paperback Reader?
I noticed the similarity to the Unfortunate Miss Fortune’s cover mockup, too. Recycled design?

I recently finished a book with a VERY similar plot — THE WISH CLUB by Kim Strickland.

It does sound good. I’d seen it at the bookstore and almost bought it. I might yet do that.

It does sound fun. I’d like to know if there’s an HEA. Maybe I’ll do some online searching myself.

I forgot to tell you, HelenKay, that YMMC is on one of the front tables on a shelf in my BN store.

Sounds interesting. I’m tempted to buy a copy myself.
