Book recommendation - thanks Vivienne!

Recently Vivienne over at Living Vivienne emailed me to recommend a book - The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I really enjoy reading, and it was a book I'd never heard of. Our local library had a copy so I reserved it, and read it over the past week.

I'm quite surprised how much I enjoyed it, given my normal taste runs to either Austen or sci-fi and fantasy. It really was a warm, charming story, with some lovely touches of humour, and a view into post-war and wartime Guernsey. The main thing that stood out for me where the characters - they were extremely endearing, and all slightly odd but in a delightful way. This would be a great book to take on holidays, or for a wet Sunday afternoon (or two).


Mama Jerry,  I think you would really enjoy it!

Thanks Vivienne for the recommendation - anyone read any other good books lately?

A good day to be inside with the books

Today it's cold (the mountain an hour away had snow!!) windy and rainy (love the rain!) so it was a good day to get on with the 'Library'. Jerry bought some simple pine shelving and put them together for me.

After a hearty lunch of butternut pumpkin, sweet potato and red lentil soup I spent a happy few hours stacking the shelves with novels - many of them have been in boxes since 2000 when I went to Europe. I'm looking forward to re-reading many of them.



It's not a glamorous library, but its comfy, and will be a great refuge on summer weekends when Jerry is watching the sport on tv!! Even better, there is still room for more books!!!!!!!!!
