A word of advice.

You know I like to dish out unwanted advice. Here's my latest.

If you are going to read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (did I get that right?) don't try to flip ahead to the last page.

Especially if the page you assume is the last one before the book club discussion questions is not actually the last page.

It will ruin the whole story for you. So much so that you might consider abandoning the book all together.

But then in a fit of boredom you will pick it up again, get to that "last page" and realize the story continues, just in a different format.

Phew! That was a close one.

Why are you flipping to the last page anyway?!

I love to flip to the end:) I read the Potato Pie book a while ago and I have very low reading retention so now I am racking my brain trying to remember if I liked the end. I thought it was a fine book but didn't quite live up to the hype.

So did you like the book? I have seen it a few times and wondered how it was. Let me know.

I am with beth on this one...but I loved that book. I want F to get like 3 years older so I can have him read it. ok, maybe 5, but it was so great! Try the 13th Tale, but whatever you do, do NOT try to skip. It will kill it.
