May Flowers

May brings us to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Here’s what I know thus far about the book:

• The book is an epistolary novel which means I had to consult the OED
• According to very reliable Germantown Book Club sources, as of April 23rd, this book had 133 library holds for its six copies and one electronic version
• The authors are an aunt/niece duo
• The Trade paperback is available May 5th
• It has an official website
• Nine people have rated the YouTube interview with Annie Barrows
• It is approximately 27 miles between Guernsey and Jersey (the old one)
• If I had a Kindle I could download the book and begin reading it by the time I complete this post

I look forward to the book, although my research has indicated a potato peel pie is not that appealing.
