The snow has finally melted. It was wonderful to be in the middle of it. The snow was light and fluffy. Or it looked like mounds of whipped cream. Or it was black and grainy and shoved over to the side of the road. It took 4 days for my car to completely melt; or the snow on it took that long. Luckily, my car is still intact. My job is such a bust. I still don't have company email. On Thursday I left at 12:30. Yesterday I left at 9:30. Now my password isn't working. Me neither. Tres desolate.
Life is still not as bad as it was on Guernsey during WWII. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is an enjoyable book none-the-less. It is written as a series of letters. Thankfully, this was a letter writing time in the world. It takes place in England just after the war and many of the letters are about what life was like on Guernsey during the occupation. Although the characters are colorful, the book doesn't totally sugar-coat the occupation. It seems to be fairly even handed. It ends a bit rom-com. But the rest of the book is so good, you might be able to overlook that.
One of my favorite things about the Guernsey book is the writer's love of books. It doesn't just show through the literary societies stories, but also through the heroines stories about books. I especially liked the story of her failed engagement.
