The Third Thursday Bibliomaniacs

Monsters of Templeton Book Cover ImageThe Third Thursday Bibliomaniacs will be discussing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows in February. The letters comprising this small charming novel begin in 1946, when single, 30-something author Juliet Ashton (nom de plume Izzy Bickerstaff) writes to her publisher to say she is tired of covering the sunny side of war and its aftermath. When Guernsey farmer Dawsey Adams finds Juliet's name in a used book and invites articulate—and not-so-articulate—neighbors to write Juliet with their stories, the book's epistolary circle widens, putting Juliet back in the path of war stories.

The Third Thursday Bibliomaniacs is San Bruno Public Library's book discussion group and meets the third Thursday every month in City Hall, Room #113 at 7 PM. The next meeting will be on February 19.
