I've just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I must admit.. I absolutely loved it. Loved the characters. Loved that it's written as a series of letters. Loved that it reminisces WWII. Loved that I didn't bawl at the end, like I do most other books.

Order of Most Ridiculous Cryfests

#1: After re-reading These Is My Words.
[^For some reason, it was so much sadder the second time.]
#2: After reading These Is My Words, the first time.
#3: After reading The Book Thief.

I don't know why I always end up so emotionally attached to the characters who die at the end. It's not fair, really.

Anyways.. Paige, Mom, and I went to the library yesterday and put our cards to good use, so I have quite the assortment to choose from for my next book.

I'm leaning toward Slaughterhouse-Five.

Why? Because Kevin Bacon mentioned it during his role as hottie, Ren McCormack, in Footloose, which is my ultimate favorite movie.

If you havn't seen it..

Mr. Gurntz : He was trying to teach [that] book.
Mrs. Allyson: Slaughterhouse-Five, isn't that an awful name?
Ren: Yeah it's a classic... Slaughterhouse-five, It's a classic.
Mrs. Allyson : Maybe in another town it's a classic.
Ren: In ANY town.
