#Epistolary
review

This hilarious epistolary novel is full of snark, literary references, and a surprising amount of heart.

Jason Fitger is a lit/creative writing professor at a small college and he is plagued with requests for letters of recommendations for students and colleagues. He is also on a mission to get his star pupil published, get in his ex-wife‘s good graces, and make everybody hate the economics department as much as he does.

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. ❤️😢 3d

#DynamicDs

Picking this one for #Dad not just because of the title but because it was a favorite of my Dad‘s (& mine!) & he played the lead in community theater. Also, as you can see from his script in the middle of the pile (excuse the recycled photo), his name was Don, so another “Dynamic D” for this month‘s theme. 2026 will make 30 years since he passed away & I still miss him every day.💙

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. 1mo
Eggs My ‘must-read‘ list is unmanageable 🤪, but…stacked. 1mo

#CoverStories Day 26: Love shared through #Letters is finely wrought in this strange series that is a work of art with the correspondence in handwritten missives found in each page. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-coy
