Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

My bookclub just finished reading the "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Anne Schaffer and Anne Barrows.

This was a good book with an easy-flowing writing style and fun characters that you soon come to love. This is a novel written through a series of letters between Juliet Ashton, successful London journalist, her friend and publisher Sydney, Sydney's sister and Juliet's lifelong friend Sophie, and a group of strangers who have a group called the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. These letters tell a tale of life on the island of Guernsey during the German invasion during the war. Juliet eventually travels to Guernsey and what she finds there will change her life forever.

I would certainly recommend this book if you are looking for an easy-to-read leisurely book. Since it is written through letters, it is very easy to pick up the book for just a few minutes, but then come quickly to a stopping point if you need to. Personally, I didn't really want to put it down!

For the month of March we are reading "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. I'm only 3 chapters in and I'm already loving it. I can't wait until April when it comes out on the big screen. Want to read with us - please feel free to!
