I
finished three books this week, with two being rereads. I feel like I spent the entire week rereading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It was a book club pick and I liked it okay the first time two years ago, and had no desire to read it again this week. Book club was Thursday night and we delayed the discussion on the book until our meeting next month since the person who picked the book couldn't be there. It was an odd blogging week too since I only finished one new book.
What you might have missed on the blog this week:
Book Review: Twice Sold Tales (reread review!) by Chautona Havig
Book Review: Just Look Up by Courtney Walsh
Top Ten Tuesday: Elements That Will Keep Me Engaged in a Story
I am also linking up with the Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
The book club that I used to belong to read the Literary and Potato Peel book some time ago. I wasn’t crazy about it: my review is here —

best, mae
Mae, this is the second book club I have read it for.
DeleteI loved the Potato Peel Society book! I heard they made a movie from it but I don't know what it's called or if I can get it. Some of that plot was taken from real stories if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteTina, it used to be on Netflix and it is the same title, but they change so many details from the book.
DeleteHappy Birthday! I hope it's a wonderful year for you. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark!
DeleteI hope that you had a lovely birthday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking books.
Have a great weekend whatever you end up doing!

Thanks Emily!
DeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you have a fund day! And such good books to choose from!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne!
DeleteHope you had a great birthday! Hope you don't have to work too much over the weekend, that always sucks.
ReplyDeleteNicky, it was a very long Saturday and I am trying to have a lazy Sunday.
DeleteHappy birthday, Cindy! I almost never reread books when I was your age, and I really disliked rereading books I didn't want to reread. I don't know why, but now, at 67, I often like rereading.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to relax this weekend!
Deb, I still dislike rereading, but there are a few exceptions...there is hope for me yet :)
DeleteHappy Birthday!! I hope you have been doing some things this weekend that make you smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin!
DeleteHappy Birthday! That's disappointing to show up prepared for a book club meeting and not discuss the book. My book club would handle that differently, but two of us are librarians and are prepared to lead a book discussion at the drop of a hat, if necessary.
ReplyDeleteJoy, usually we would discuss anyway, but someone insisted we should wait so the one who couldn't come got the opportunity to discuss the book she had picked.
DeleteHappy birthday! I've wanted to read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society but still haven't.
ReplyDeleteIt is well loved (just not by me, LOL!). I hope you do enjoy it when you get the opportunity to read it.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday Cindy! I’m not one to read a book again but maybe one day! In the meantime there are simply too many books and too little time. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJodie, I totally agree, which is why I *usually* don't reread a book!
DeleteHappy Birthday! I never read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society although it's been on my wishlist forever. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne, hopefully you will enjoy it when you do read it.
DeletePotato Peel Society! So good!!!! I read the book a long time before watching the movie, so luckily I didn't remember the main plot. I cried all the way through the movie it was so touching. And I love Dawsey. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHalf the cast of Downton Abbey is in it. Rose, Lady Sybil, Mrs. Crawley. Henry Talbot (actor also plays a guy in GOT), and I also recognized the actor who plays Pauline on Doc Martin. Only actor I did NOT know was the bloody American. LOL
But yah. I loved it. And the clothes, hair and makeup....ahhhh. Now I kinda want to read the book again. But, too many books, not enough time.
Happy belated birthday!!
Jinjer, you crack me up! I tried to watch the movie too soon after reading it the first time and I was disappointed in all the changes. Had I waited I probably would have enjoyed it.
DeleteOh, a very Happy Birthday to you! May your new year be filled with many blessings and much joy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bellezza!
DeleteHappy belated birthday! That Colleen Coble book looks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I am hoping I am able to get to it before it is due back to the library. It is only a 14-day loan.
DeleteHappy belated birthday, Cindy! :D 46 is a good age. (I'm also 46.) I hope this week goes more according to plans. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni!
DeleteHappy belated birthday!
