I'm new too and enjoying feeling connected from my desk to so many great women.
I just finished the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, my book club's pick for this month. I resisted it -- don't know what I thought it would be, based on the title. I held out for about 20 pages, then was swept away. Feeling a little sick on the couch helped to keep me focused, and I read it straight through. I love the way the author used the light touch of brief letters to tell a story that could have been overwhelmingly heartbreaking and agonizing. And a happy ending, too. I recommend it.

Anno, I loved Shanghai Girls. I read Guernsey after the book club recommended it and loved it, too.
Just finished Alex Cross's Trial by James Patterson & Richard Dilallo. Fans of Patterson's Detective Alex Cross will enjoy this story about Alex's great-uncle Abraham and his daughter, Moody, set in the era of President Roosevelt and the KKK.

I just read an incredible book. It's called Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven. The author's last name is Gilman, and it is a memoir. It tells of 2 young girls on a round the world trip and SOMETHING happens. Can't say what!

Just wanted to mention The Time Traveler's Wife. It took me forever to get into it because of the complexities of the time frame, but ultimately I really enjoyed it and thought the author's writing style was quite brilliant at times.
