This sounds intriguing! I haven't read many epistolary books, but I, like nearly everyone else, loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (a.k.a. "The Guernsey Book"). I agree that letters is a desirable medium when attempting to express character's exact thoughts. Not to mention the fact that, through the letters, you also get to see the character's personality expressed through their grammar, word choice, and even the length of the letters. I'm looking forward to exploring your blog further, but I have to go to school right now. .-= Madeleine´s last blog ..Rest In Peace, Bookworms. =-.

Books about books are always sure winners with me. I love secondhand books too. Great quotes (though the thought of throwing a book away makes me want to cry lol) Thanks for the review!

This one definitely deserves 5 out of 5. I loved it as well as the movie. Can’t beat Anne Bancroft and Sir Anthony Hopkins.
