I love books so much, I'd marry them if they asked me. I especially love the smell of books. MMMMMM...good!

That’s how I am, also. I do go to the library on occasion, but I want to read a book when I choose, not when they tell me I can have it for these 2 weeks. Books are my one luxury - I have a stack of books waiting to be read, and pretty much add to it weekly.

I normally prefer non-fiction, but over the past few months have read some amazing works of fiction.

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

Synopsis:
January 1946: writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And so begins a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.


Beach Trip by Cathy Holton

I read her first two books. This third is different, but just as good. Four college roommates, getting together on an island off the Carolina coast 23 years later.


The Help
by Kathryn Stockett

This is her first book, and it is wonderful. Set in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960s – just when the Civil Rights movement was gearing up.



I really had great difficulty putting any of these books down.
