Last, but not least, my December favorite: the Guernsey audiobook was the warm hug I needed as I adjusted to my new home. I couldn‘t help but be charmed by the cast of characters. I‘m also a sucker for an epistolary tale.
Middlemarch was a close runner up: Eliot‘s style could certainly get bogged down in minutia and obscure references, but damn, when she was on, she was ON and pulled no punches describing human nature.
I read this book when it was first published, and loved it; now it‘s gained popularity again because of the the film, which I haven‘t seen, because film adaptions so often disappoint!

pickI want to be friends with everyone in this book!
The letters were a good way of moving the story forward while getting to know each of them a little better.
After receiving a letter from a man in Guernsey, Juliet begins correspondence with several members of the literary and potato peel pie society, learning about their lives during the occupation, and eventually visiting in person.
This book was so good! I‘m glad it is off the tbr ☺️

Started #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelsociety last night and I‘m already struggling to put it down. Loving this one!
pickWell that was just bloody heartwarming wasn‘t it? I must be the last person on the planet to read this and I don‘t normally go in for this kind of feel good read. Nevertheless I was totally taken in by this story, I mean who doesn‘t love a book about loving books and reading? I don‘t event really know why I‘m not giving it 5 stars. Lovely stuff.
