Does anyone use Postcrossing? I work for them now and they have me writing reviews about books that feature mail or the postal service heavily. Here's my first piece, on a more neglected book from a fave author: https://www.postcrossing.com/blog/2020/07/08/book-review-the-documents-in-the-ca...

I'm taking suggestions for books that fit the theme in comments there, but any ideas you have are great too!

A fascinating format. Lots to side-eye when it comes to Agatha Milsom, whose institutionalisation is never shown to us directly. Hard to judge if she's actually mentally ill to a great degree, or (more likely) mostly just inconvenient.

I do love that the resolution leans so hard on chemistry, though! Bit rambling as it gets toward the solution, but overall entertaining.

Picked this up at @Powells - an epistolary mystery that involves plant poisons. What‘s not to like? Speaking of which—would love more recommendations for great novels told exclusively through letters, diaries, or both.

Tessy That‘s a brain teaser because I know I have read several but now that I am grasping for titles I can‘t come up with anything. 5y
MockTurtle The Second Mrs Hockaday by Susan Rivers gives an unusual perspective on the American Civil War homefront. 5y
