The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. In 1946, writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And so begins a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.

The book unfolds as a series of letters between Juliet Ashton, a writer grown weary of putting a positive spin on the war, and the members of the curiously named society, whose town has come under German occupation. It is a correspondence that will forever change Juliet's life.

American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon Meacham. Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson’s presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House.

Drawing on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the human drama – the family, the women, and the inner circle of advisers– that shaped Jackson’s private world through years of storm and victory.
