I've been reading... a LOT!

I've gotten a little behind in talking about my book club... so here's the latest. My bookclub read "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" for our last pick. We all loved this book. The characters were so believable and well written. It's set on the island of Guernsey following the end of WWII. I learned about an interesting piece of WWII history while reading this book and fell in love with the characters. I wanted to go over to Guernsey and be a part of their book club.

Lisa had the next book club pick... and I loved how she set it up. She commented that the last few books we've read have been so good, that she had

a hard time selecting the next one. She actually felt pressure to keep the bar up

high... and I think she has. She picked "Rooftops of Tehran" by Mahbod Seraji. I just started this book and I think I'm going to like it!
In between these two book club picks, I managed to squeeze in "The Queen of the Big Time" by Adriana Trigiani and "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes. I enjoyed both books... but "Under the Tuscan Sun" was not at all what I expected. It's NOTHING like the movie, other than being set in a villa in Tuscany. I enjoyed this book, but it's definitely more of a travelogue/memoir of restoring a house.
I think I'm reading so much right now, because I know that after this baby comes in December, I'm not going to have as much time. So I'm trying to knock some more books off my "to read" list by then!
