12. What a great title!

Sounds like a great story, as well. "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society--born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island--boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all."

I like audibles that use more than one reader. Oftentimes you will find a one-reader who uses different voices. That can be good, BUT listening to French Exit, the reader sounded like she was in her 90s for our protagonist who was in her late 60s. That set my nerves on edge since I know I sound nothing like that. Oh well...whatever.

I for sure want to get your book, though. Thanks.
