April Heaven Hill Employee Book Club Pick: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Each month we will announce a new book and send a copy to those who sign up. Book genres will vary each month to offer an array of titles for all areas of interest. Employees will have a few weeks to read the book before the meeting. During the meeting, we will discuss overall thoughts of the book, themes, character development and more. Additionally, there is a Netflix show based on this month’s book that you can watch to discuss during the meeting.
Participation is completely optional, and you can alternate which months you participate based on interest in the book pick. Those who sign up will receive a calendar invite for the book club meeting. The book club is open to all employees across the organization and we encourage anyone who is interested to sign up!
Even if you are unable to make it to the club meeting, you can still request a book and join in the chat on the teams group.
Anyone joining for the book clubs will be entered into a monthly raffle.
April Book Club Pick:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ON NETFLIX – A remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.
As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. 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.
