Dear The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis: We have a bit of a long, complicated relationship, you and I. Unlike so many other people my age, for some reason I didn’t read you when I was younger. Instead, I started reading you for the first time a few years ago and, over the span […]

Dear EDUCATED by Tara Westover: Worth the hype?!
Dear Educated by Tara Westover, You are one of the most hyped books I’ve read in a while. Not only did you appear on countless must-read lists, but you were also recommended to me by numerous bookworms online and friends in person. At first I was quite skeptical, I must admit.

Dear THE PALE KING by David Foster Wallace: for a book about boredom, you were surprisingly interesting
Dear The Pale King by David Foster Wallace, I have a tendency to enjoy books that many readers deem boring, dull, longwinded, and painstakingly meticulous. (Examples?

Dear 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD by Helene Hanff: YOU MAKE MY INNER BOOKWORM SO HAPPY.
Dear 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff: It seems fitting that I write this review in the form of a letter to you, since you yourself are a book comprised of letters.

Dear THE BOOKSHOP by Penelope Fitzgerald: You are a bittersweet circle
I bought my copy of you mainly because (a) it was on sale (b) it had a pretty cover, and (c) I can’t resist a book about books. I distinctly remember starting you while sitting on park near my new apartment in the town where I attended law school. It was a beautiful late August day and, […]

DEAR FAHRENHEIT 451 by Annie Spence | Review
Dear Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence, Since you are a book of letters written to other books, I feel like it’s only fitting that my review of you is also in the form of a letter to a book. (Wow, that was a lot of letters and books.) To be honest, I never even knew you existed until I randomly […]
