84, Charing Cross Road

by Helene Hanff

Why You Will Like This Book:
  • These are real letters, sent back and forth between an American woman and the employees of a British bookshop during the post-WWII period.
  • For book lovers especially, this is so sweet and cozy. It's filled with references to awesome books, and a proper appreciation for their covers and binding.
  • And it's just a really sweet story, although a little bittersweet as well.

And Why You Might Not:
  • I can't really think of any reason, especially since it's so short that it'll hardly take any of your time. I guess if you're too young to enjoy a story where nothing really happens?
