WWW Wednesdays- July 25, 2018

I found this very cool idea (at least for us bibliophiles!) on a blog I follow, JessCombs.com

“WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words. … Don’t know what it is or how to participate… All you need to do is answer the following three questions and link back to Taking on a World of Words, or you can put your answers in the comments on her blog!”

So I think I’ll join in! I think these are the questions from July 11.

The three WWW questions are:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

So here are my answers for this week:

Currently reading: The Bookman’s Tale by Charlie Lovett

Recently finished: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Schaffer and Barrows

I have to say, this was one of the best books I have read recently. Set in England and the Channel Island of Guernsey in 1946, it explores the effects of World War II on the people of Guernsey through a series of letters. We never “see” or “hear” the characters, but gt to know them intimately through this pen-pal type relationship. I found it very moving and engging. Try it-You’ll like it, as they say.

Next read: The Last Wife of Henry VIII. by Carolly Erikson
