I love to read. Check out the books I am reading or have read and see if you like any of them too. Feel free to recommend reads as well. Don't want to read something but want to know if it is worth reading...I can read it for you, or maybe I have already read it, ask me!!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
This book by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows was recommended to me by a co-worker as a pretty light read with an interesting story. I finished the book yesterday evening. I loved it. Set in WW II, this book is a series of letters going back and forth from an author to an island in the English Channel. During the war this island is occupied by German soldiers and the people on the island form a group late one night past curfew and the group continues even after the war is over. They get together and read books, make potato peel pie and think of ways to survive the German occupation. A light read, although there are a few heavy parts...I definitely recommend this book to anyone...and once you get over the letter reading...you barely notice!
