Summer Reading

I've read many books this summer, though not quite as many as I intended to read. I'll post some of them here eventually, but I'm really into what I'm reading right now - The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.  I bought it on a whim in a bookshop at the beach with my friend Sarah. 

I always judge books by their titles and covers, and this one appealed to me. I'm so happy I did! It's written in letter format and takes place in the British Isles (my favorite place) - specifically between a woman in London and the residents of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands between England and France. It takes place just after WW2, when Guernsey was occupied by the Germans. The characters are delightful and I can't wait to finish it - I never thought I'd say my metro rides weren't long enough...
