Teaser Tuesday- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

MizB over at Should be Reading is hosting this weekly bookish meme.


What to do? Grab the book you are currently reading. Open to a random page and choose 2 "teaser" sentences. Just make sure they aren't spoiler sentences! Then of course share the title and author so others can get the book to read too.


"I don't believe that after reading such a fine writer as Emily Bronte, I will be happy to read again Miss Amanda Gillyflower's Ill-Used by Candlelight. Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad books."

-from p. 53 of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

In my experience, trying to write books ruins you for enjoying bad books! My inner editor keeps wanting to fix them and won't shut up.

Love, love, love this book--just read it recently. Especially enjoyed the way the storyline was carried by correspondence. The characters reminded me of those in the BBC series, Foyle's War .

Great teaser if for no other reason than it is completely true! Reading really can spoil a person, can't it?
