Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere....

I never thought I would have so much fun reading! My book club has truly introduced me to literature I would have never of picked up in the book store, let alone read. Septembers read "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". Again I defiantly would not have pick this up in the book store... First of all - The entire book is composed of letters. Second - It is about World War II. But this was one of the loveliest books I have ever read. I have read a few books and seen many movies about World War II, but this one was the best. It was so real. I felt like I knew the characters and I wanted to run over to Guernsey to meet them in person. The stories about their experiences were so touching, not just because they were hard, but because the people were so brave. Horrible things happened to them, but I didn't feel traumatized reading about them. I felt uplifted at their endurance and hope, and love for each other. This book definitely joins the few books on my favorites shelf .Here are a few pictures of the our get together this month.
