Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks

I enjoyed this book immensely!

In Dear Fahrenheit 451, each chapter is a letter to a different book. (Except the last few chapters, those are letters to the reader.) The letters range from disappointment (Wicked) to adoration (The Fledgling) to creeped out (Principles of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis) - but they're all entertaining, and usually pretty funny. Some letters are explaining why she's culling them from the library's collection (too many copies, or bad condition, or haven't been checked out in years.)

The author has a wonderful writing style that makes me want to grab coffees and gab about books with her. It's also a great book to read when you don't have long periods of time to read - the chapters are short and self-contained, so there's no rush to find out what happens next. It will most likely add things to your TBR, though, as most books about books tend to do!

I really enjoyed this one - it's way better than My Life With Bob. Probably because it's actually about the books, where My Life With Bob was more of a memoir.
