The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Barrows, Annie Fiery, Shaffer, Mary Ann Fiery
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is a gem. Just after WWII a writer is contacted by a fan on the island of Guernsey. As events unfold and she goes to Guernsey, she learns of the misery, bravery and ingenuity of the locals when Guernsey was abandoned by the British to be captured by the Germans. Because it's told in letters, it's bound to be compared it to 84 Charing Cross Road. But Guernsey Literary is like no other book I've ever read and it's outstanding.--Elaine Petrocelli, Book Passage (Corte Madera, CA)

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR



HARRY POTTER........All seven!

Since (as you well know) there was considerable time between the publications of these seven books, many have found it not only helpful, but fun, to go back to the first book and read through them to number seven. Remember, except for the last, all are now in paperback. Click below to remind you of what you may have forgotten.(horrors!) (Read More!)

One that will rocket him out of his dull life and into a unique experience at the Hogworts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones."
