It seemed for a time that everyone on Litsy was reading this book. I‘m finally getting to it. Such a sweet read. The NY author begins writing to a bookstore in England in order to find rare secondhand books at a good price. She ends up becoming very fond of the employees, sending them packages of food that are unavailable to them during wartime and staying in touch with the employees and their families for years. It‘s a quick and touching read.

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve seen it and after reading your post, I know I need to read this. 2mo
Leftcoastzen An all time favorite! 2mo

What an absolutely lovely little book! I‘m not crying —YOU‘RE crying.

This collection of letters between an American scriptwriter and the staff of a British bookstore in London restores my faith in humanity and confirms my belief that book people are the best people.

Listen to the audiobook —the narrators are delightful.

Ruthiella This book! It‘s just beautiful. ❤️😢 2mo
Amiable @Ruthiella Oh my gosh—my heart exploded! 😍 And I went immediately to Hoopla to download the sequel. 2mo
LeahBergen One of my absolute favourites! 2mo
CarolynM I love Helene Hanff. All her books are wonderful. 2mo

A captivating anthology that brings together an extraordinary collection of correspondence from across history, culture, and human experience. Originally stemming from the popular website of the same name, this book compiles letters that are poignant, humorous, enlightening, and sometimes heartbreaking—each offering a unique glimpse into the minds of their writers.

BooksandCoffee4Me Have you read The Only Thing That Counts, the letters between Hemingway and his editor, Maxwell Perkins? These letters share insights into Hemingway -- the real, unheroic, determined, obstinate, fiery, pensive, colliegial Hemingway; of course, the wisdom, almost father-like attention, and expertise of Perkins and discussions regarding F Scott Fitzgerald add to the depth and enjoyment of reading this book. 3mo
Eggs My ‘must-read‘ list is unmanageable 🤪, but…stacked. 3mo

February 10th #FeelinTheLove Love Letters 💌 @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Absolutely 💯 4mo
BooksandCoffee4Me My husband and I were teachers at the same high school when we met and started dating. To avoid awkwardness, we didn‘t let our relationship be known, but he would put a handwritten note in my teacher‘s mailbox every morning 😊❤️ 4mo
LiseWorks @BooksandCoffee4Me, oh, how sweet 4mo

#FeelinTheLove Day 10: This one is Ludwig Van Beethoven‘s letter to his Immortal Beloved – who this is remains a mystery until now. This is a fascinating book that contains amorous and heartfelt #Loveletters of famous people: from Vita Sackville-West and Viriginia Woolf to Franz Kafka‘s letter to Felice Bauer.

My first read every year is this slim epistolary collection between friends. I love viewing the progression of the friendship, and the ending gets me every time.
