Just wanted to remind everyone that today (Sunday April 12th) is the first ever Letter Writers Allinace Book Club. We are meeting online so everyone can join in. The book to be discussed is 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. The live feed discussion begins at 3pm CST. For more information, visit the Good Reads group page or come to the chat at the live feed page.
Did I mention I will be one of the guests on the chat?
If you miss this event, the book club will be meeting quarterly online to discuss books that may be of interest to letter writers and mail lovers. The discussion will be done as a live video chat. Come join us!
I owe The Desk’s amazing proprietor a big thanks for introducing me to this book! What a great story, so well-told.
I loved this book when I first found it, at least 20 years ago. And I’ve read it many times since. One of my favorite “keepers” is an omnibus volume of Helene Hanff’s work produced by Barnes & Noble some years ago. In everything, she’s funny, original and entirely empathetic.
Just wanted to add that Better World Books offers to scan some books that are not available as a download. I do not know how they determine which books they may scan, but they recycle the physical book, as well.
