i have been doing a LOT of reading lately. and loving every second! i decided to post a book review/summary whenever i read something that's especially good. i LOVE sharing books, so i'm quite excited to tell you all about the book i just finished this afternoon.
my aunt recommended it way back in april and i had to wait forever to get it on inter-library loan. i picked it up on wednesday night and finished it this afternoon... not really surprising, considering that i'm a fast reader, but still. i could hardly put it down when it was time for work!
"the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society" was phenomenal~ i had NO idea about this segment of world war II history, so it was fascinating. the book is made almost entirely of letters written between the various characters. it seems like a ton of history is included and the plot is well developed. i felt like i knew each and every person whose story is told; the fear, excitement, joy, anxiety, love, and concern all blended together seamlessly.
please check this book out from your library. OR, ask me to borrow it sometime because i just bought it on half.com :)
