Current Book

Have you all read The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peeling Pie Society? Last summer we had some ladies from our neighborhood participate in a book swap. We brought books, did a bit of book talking, ate dessert and chatted. Well, a lady I really like suggested I read the above book. I started it and laid it down for other more pressing book titles as well as work related titles. In December I was in Barnes and Noble with a very old friend ( that is I have known here since I was 19) asked me if I had read it. Of course, I was quick to say I had laid it aside. She said you must finish it. Then last week when Lisa suggested I check out THE LIBRARY THING, I saw this same exact book was on the most reviewed list. I did pick it up again and really have been enjoying it. One of the reviewer said something to the effect, it reminded her of the reason she loved books. bought books, and read books! That is some testimony. The book is about a book group which stated during WWII when their island was occupied by the Germans and the night curfews were very strict. It is a series of letters to a young lady author. It has a bit of mystery, a bit of a love interest and of course, lots about books! Quite a nice read for all you bookie people! Here is the link for their website, http://www.randomhouse.com/rhpg/guernsey/ For those of you who want a picture book title, I just finished reviewing Guinea Pigs Add Up by Margery Cuyler. I just love it! It is a rhyming tale of a teacher who brings a guinea pig in for the new class pet! Excuse my typos today, my glasses are downstairs since the baby just wanted to keep pulling at them.
