I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I loved it! I like epistolary books anyway, and this was post-war British, which I also like, and, to top it off, it was partially about reading, so all around I enjoyed it a great deal.
It brought to mind both the Maisie Dobbs books by Jacqueline Winspear (the post-war part) and the book 84, Charing Cross Road (which is both epistolary AND all about books.)
It was the best kind of book: I laughed AND choked up.
Greetings! Since I have a lot of free time on my hands, I decided to go back all the way through my October posts and gather up all of the books I’ve listed and make one master list. Here’s everything in one big whompin’ list. Enjoy!
