Book Recommendations

I'll admit I didn't read this one on the Kindle, but it was good book and I think it's worth posting in case anyone is looking for something new.

"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer.

It's the story of WWII, on Guernsey Island - don't let that throw you off, it's quite charming.

Secondly. I am thoroughly enjoying "Juliet" by Anne Fortier. It's told from the perspective of the modern descendant of the 'real' Juliet, and then from the accounts of those in Sienna (not Verona) in 1340... several rewrites of "Romeo and Juliet" including Shakespeare help the story along. It's a page-turner thriller!

Well -- we now have two Kindle owners in our household. Frank has been reading with mine and in order to get mine back, I decided to get him his own. We just ordered it so we're expecting a late September arrival.

He is reading "Lolita" right now. I also purchased "Water for Elephants" recently but haven't yet read it. I also own "Faithful Place" by Tana French -- a mystery set in Ireland. It is quite popular on the best seller lists right now. I enjoyed it and also just finished her first book (from the library) -- In the Woods. If you are interested in any of these, just ask before you download them.

New Book Choice

Okay, I think I've settled on Ken Follett's new book, out later this month... "Fall of Giants".

But I'm annoyed to see that the Kindle version actually costs a little more than the hardbound!! $20 seems high for an electronic download! Hmm, that would only leave me $5 on my birthday card - I'll ahve to find something really cheap! ;)

IT's HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new Kindle arrived !!!!! well it arrived in Washington DC -- friend Kathleen is bringing it to me Sept 14 -- I am so ready !!!!! I have books on order ladies and of course you are open to share any that I already own --- I'll be back ..........
