Why am I starting a book blog?




I am an avid reader. I've loved to read since I was a little girl and try to pass that love of reading to others. When I finish a book and love it, I tell everyone I know about it. Then I thought why not have a blog of all the books I read and rate them as I go. Then I can give my blog address out to everyone I know. I hope you come along for the ride. I'm sure we won't always agree on what we like but I hope maybe I can save some people time on what to read. Feel free to write comments after I blog, I would love to hear what you thought of the book. Happy reading!!!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows

Do you ever read a book and enjoy it so much that you actually feel like you know the characters? I felt this way while reading this. It's about a woman named Juliet in 1946 after the war who's trying to come up with her next book subject. She receives a letter from someone in Guernsey and begins a wonderful friendship not just with him but with this wonderful group of people all in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. What I loved also about the book was it was all in letters exchanged back and forth from the different characters. It was such a neat group of characters, it made me want to be part of the society. I was so sad to finish the book because I enjoyed it so much. Also felt I learned a little too because I didn't realize the Germans had taken over this part of the Channel Islands for five years and how they treated these innocent people, who had nothing to even do with the war. Just sickens me the things that happened during the war. Definitely a sweet and easy read. Check it out!
