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.

#SebastianKitty is kindly modeling the book for me. #CatsOfLitsy

AlaMich This is an old favorite of mine. 1mo

#AboutABook #YouGifted I used to grab copies when I found them I gave it so much. If people say they love books , it‘s hard to go wrong. It‘s not too long , has a fun & breezy style , yet it‘s sometimes serious. Great Britain struggled after WWII. Hanff starts a correspondence with a British bookstore owner to find books for her collection. Better prices than the USA. They probably didn‘t imagine it would become a wonderful friendship!

Eggs Stacked! 5mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs I think you will really enjoy it.😊 5mo
Eggs @Leftcoastzen Thx! It was free on Audible, and there‘s a film with Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft! 5mo

Lindy @merelybookish thanks! 6mo
Lindy @LeahBergen Let me know what you think afterwards, okay? 6mo
Lindy @tournevis Jolene and I will make additional videos diving into the many excellent nominations that didn‘t make our top 67. I will be making one especially about the 19 French-language titles that were mentioned. 6mo
tournevis @Lindy Marvelous! Link it here too here! 6mo
tournevis @Lindy That was so great! Thank you for doing this! 6mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny Awesome project!! Thanks for taking it on! 6mo
Lindy @tournevis Thanks for watching (and for contributing). I will tag you when I make the video about the French titles. 5mo

squirrelbrain Oh, looking forward to seeing the results of this! 6mo
Lindy @squirrelbrain Me too! So far, we don‘t have a lot of overlap in titles. Early days…. 6mo
tournevis Ooh! That's a good idea 6mo

tournevis That was so fun! Had to cut out a few books that I know I read in the early 2000-oughts but that were published in like 1998 or 1999. Pretty sure that I'll be the only one citing a few of these too. 6mo
Lindy @tournevis Thanks Isabelle! 6mo
tournevis @Lindy 🖖 6mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny Thanks for letting me participate!! It was fun. It was hard! I‘m anxiously awaiting the full list! 6mo
Lindy @LiteraryHoarderPenny So far, the front runner is a book that made both of the NYT top 100 lists (the original list plus the readers choice) 6mo
