The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
How many times can I rave about this book? At least a few more: it’s sure to make my list of the best books in 2008, and I’ll probably mention it again when the paperback comes out! If you want to hear me go on and on (and on) about the book, check out Episode 10 of the podcast.
Guernsey was published this past summer, so I wanted to make sure no one forgets about its potential as a great gift. I think the book is perfect for the holiday season because it’s all about friendship, and the power of literature. The characters are people you will not soon forget and your friends and family will thank you for this gift.

Michael – great selection with “Guernsey” this is an easy handsell and my customers have so far loved the book. Very light and easy to read with some substance hidden in the background. After your class at NEIBA show I’m blogging now and working on a project for 6 months about reading entirely on an eReader – if you’ve got any great picks send them my way in eFromat.
