A re-newed determination....

We had a lovely get together tonight. Thanks to Robyn for opening her home to us. I really enjoyed it ladies, missed a few of you and hope you'll be able to join us next time.  Not many of us had managed to read this month's book, but discussed  the film instead.  Personally i'm enjoying the read-it's just finding the time to sit down and read without falling asleep!! The majority who had seen the film or read the book before enjoyed the characters and didn't see the ending coming.  Having not finished it yet, I can't comment too much, hopefully one of my fellow ladies can add a comment on here to enlighten us.

We decided that we needed to re-focus the bookclub a little and get back into a routine-with summer long gone and holidays tucked away for another year, we've decided to re-visit our list of reading wishes.  For the month of October we've decided to stay away from the traditional 'thriller' and explore a contemporary fiction
'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society' by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Brown

Synopis: It's 1946 and author Juliet Ashton can't think what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a book that once belonged to her - and, spurred on by their mutual love of reading, they begin a correspondence. When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, her curiosity is piqued and it's not long before she begins to hear from other members. As letters fly back and forth with stories of life in Guernsey under the German Occupation, Juliet soon realizes that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name.
