Annie Barrows, co-author of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," talks about how the author within the story asks three questions: why a roast pig dinner had to be kept secret, how a pig could spark the beginning of a literary society, and what exactly a potato peel pie is.  The full interview from a 2008 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.  The book was co-authored by Mary Ann Shaffer.

I won't deny I’m in love with the whole “Ivy + Bean” chapter book series by Annie Barrows. While every book in the series deals with various topics, two of the books are science-centered: “Break the Fossil Record” (book 3) and “What’s the Big Idea?” (book 7).⁣ 👭Bean, is a restless, quirky second-grader who likes doing things in her own way. Ivy, a quiet bookworm with weird ideas, is a seeming opposite of Bean but she understands her best friend better than anybody else.⁣ 📕In “Break the Fossil Record”, Bean is bored to death until the teacher gives her an Amazing Book of World Records. Now Bean can’t think of anything but breaking a world record herself. She tries to stuff her mouth with over two hundred straws, wash dishes quicker than anyone, and even break a glass animal with her loudest scream. ⁣ 🐊 But nothing works until Ivy proposes to follow in the footsteps of Mary Anning, the famous paleontologist, and look for dinosaur fossils in Bean’s backyard. Fueled by the admiration for the great scientist, the two girls start their race to the title of the youngest paleontologists in the world.⁣ This great book with funny black & white illustrations by Sophie Blackall will be a delight for all kids, and especially those who love digging around in search for the unknown.⁣ The full review: http://jeannewald.com/book-review-ivy-and-bean-break-the-fossil-record/

New #review #TheGuernseyLiteraryandPotatoPeelPieSociety (Random House Reader's Circle Deluxe Reading Group Edition): A Novel by #MaryAnnShaffer and #AnnieBarrows The Random House Reader’s Circle edition has an additional 80 pages of annotations which makes it really interesting (and has opened my eyes to some of the more hidden atrocities that took place - like all the famous/popular companies that used slave labor during WWII). There’s some very cool info from the authors at the end that provides you with a bit more insight into their own lives. It also includes book club discussion questions, which is perfect since this is the book my book club chose! The book is written in the form of letters and telegrams to and from Juliet Ashton, her publisher/friend, her best friend from school, a potential love interest, and the Guernsey islanders, as she moves away from her position as a highly popular, humorous wartime columnist to branch out into writing a more serious book on something she’s passionate about, although she’s not quite sure what that is yet. At least, not until a chance letter from Dawsey Adams sparks that passion within her and she’s drawn into Guernsey island life after the German Occupation and the events that unfolded during said Occupation between a group of friends and near-strangers who ultimately grow into the family that none of them knew they needed or wanted. I was surprised by just how different the movie was from the book, since the movie is what inspired me to pick up the book. The movie takes a lot of liberty with events in the book that really didn’t need it other than to create more cinematic drama, imo. That’s not to say that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy both of them for the lovely creations they are. . . . . . #goodreads #Amazon #bookreview #iheartbooks #readingisfundamental #kindle #book #books #readallthebooks #booklover #bookworm #bookwrym #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookslover #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readyourbooks #readabook #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-wvBNn0Wm/?igshid=rjjhvnwnxf1t

"A Sociedade Literária de Guernsey e da Torta de Casca de Batata" 🥰❤📚 . . COMO EU DESCOBRI ESSA OBRA MAGINIFICA?! . Através de um filme muito doce e aconchegante, produção Netflix! Após cometer a proeza de assistir ao mesmo filme 3x em looping, eu decidi que era hora de ler o livro!🥰🥰🥰 . . Ps. Não vou fazer sinopse da história...mas obviamente vou postando minhas citações prediletas (novidade!!!😅) e através das minhas conversas/memes com o livro, talvez se inspirem a ler/degustar/sentir/se encantar o livro, como eu!❤ . . . #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelpiesociety #asociedadeliteráriaeatortadecascadebatata #maryannshaffer #anniebarrows #livrosqueencantam #alemanhanazista #horroresdaguerra #amorxguerra #sociedadeliterária #clubedolivro #amizadesliterarias #aliteraturasalva (em Em Casa!!!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPAwhPDLAo/?igshid=b8csd26blzkp

A Mother’s Life #bookchallenge - Day 17 - #stepmother • • Trebuie să fii foarte norocos să găsești o mamă vitregă bună. Cel mai tânăr personaj din romanul “Scrisori din Insula Guersney”, Kit, este tare norocoasă. Ea nu a fost adoptată doar de Juliet Ashton, ci de încă vreo 4 mămici. • Literatura mai are vreo mamă vitregă bună? Pe cine? • • #elitemothersbooks #motherinbooks #romanianbook #scrisoridininsulaguersney #maryannshaffer #anniebarrows #theguersneyliterarypotatopeelpiesociety #reader #bookworm #bookaholic #booktag #bestoftheday #photooftheday #lovetoread (at Bucharest, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUeMpoHFLf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h1j58qhtki7f

Talvez haja algum instinto secreto nos livros que os leve a seus leitores perfeitos. Se isso fosse verdade, seria encantador.

“That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.” ✨✉️✨✉️✨ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows was one of the most witty, thought provoking and touching reads I’ve had the pleasure of reading! Written entirely in letters, cables and telegrams this book had a huge cast of characters but each had an entirely unique voice, I couldn’t put this book down. The connections between the characters was absolutely incredible. Whether they already existed, or whether we got to watch them grow throughout the book, there characters were fantastically realistic and very human. Another thing I loved was how there were two main, central characters but we only heard from one of them. The other, we heard about from stories regarding her, and yet, she was such a powerful and fierce character, and I grew to love her as much as any of them. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who loves letters and powerful historical fiction! ✨✉️✨✉️✨ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is book 46 for 2021. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #bookwhore #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2021 #auskiwibooksta #bookquote #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelsociety #maryannshaffer #anniebarrows #historicalfiction #booksaboutbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWvzYWrFrJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
