I love this book!  It's so interesting and informative, and not textbook-y at all.

Just finished 'Eat Pray Love' and loved it! 

Also reading "The Lemon Tree'-just started it

Finished "The German Slave Girl" about a German girl who was supposedly sold into slavery in New Orleans...interesting look at slavery in Louisiana and southern states and the differences between Creole New Orleans and American New Orleans...

'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' ---a London writer whose house was destroyed in the Blitz moves to Guernsey after islanders there write letters to her about their lives when the Channel Islands were occupied by the Germans during WWII.  There's hardship, humor--everything from a villager's perspective.  You feel as if you know these people or people like them.

It sounds good! I actually saw it yesterday in a bookshop, so it's on my list now!
