The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is a book that kept popping up on my radar. Someone at my local bookstore recommended it after I purchased a book of essays and letters by Charles Lamb, but I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the suggestion since I was swimming for books to read at the time. Then Amazon kept suggesting it to me, and finally I saw it for 99 cents at a thrift store and I caved. I finished it in two days, reading close to two hundred pages the first day and finishing it up on the second.
