Books, Delicious Books

I love to read. I read everyday. Honestly I read so many books that I often can't remember the names and authors of all the books I read and I find myself starting a book only to discover that I've already read it. I know I should keep track. I confess I am a bookaholic, but....I just finished a delicious book. I don't rave about stories very often and I don't share them except with my nearest and dearest. My daughters have suffered through books that I fell in love with years ago and I have insisted that they must read. They are usually gracious and tactful in their responses. But today I finished a delight. The story is told in the form of letters from several people to other people. Usually I detest that sort of writing, but I was starving for something to read, the only other choice I had was a cookbook and since I am dieting I am trying to avoid reading cookbooks - it's very self-defeating. So I forged onward with the letters and it only took a couple of pages to completely captivate me. So I suppose you are wondering what book I am gushing about here. I will tell you; The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. The title caught my attention and the story enchanted me. I feel like I have a whole set of wonderful new friends and a charming new dream vacation destination. So I am sharing with you, my friends. Take a couple of hours off from your worries and cares and think of me as you make some new friends of your own.
(There are a few adult situations discreetly mentioned in the book, but I would feel completely comfortable having my 14 year old daughter read this book.)
