In 1949 Helene Hanff, a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books, wrote to Marks & Co. Now that I’ve finally gotten to it, the lump in my throat and the smile on my face have moved it straight to the top of my All Time Favorites.Ĩ4 stars for this loveliest of lovely reads. It’s just chock full of wonderful, bookish people being wonderful to other bookish people.Ĩ4, Charing Cross Road has languished on my To Read shelf since I joined Goodreads back in 2014. If you wanted to find a rare book or first edition of a favorite, you had to hunt for it! Oh, the joy of finally locating a coveted treasure by reaching out by letter to a store across the world rather than just through the click of a mouse. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was published in 1970 and contains twenty years of correspondence that began in 1949 - a time when London was still dealing with post-war rationing and, to state the obvious, the internet did not exist. I often jump straight to the down and dirty of a book, but please allow me to shake things up by presenting the lithe and lovely.Ĩ4, Charing Cross Road is an absolutely delightful epistolary memoir made up of letters exchanged between NYC-based author Helene Hanff and an antiquarian bookseller in London. ![]()

I genuinely think this is the biggest software advance for writers since the word processor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Your mileage will likely vary on whether or not you think this depiction of their romance lives up to the hype-though the pair has lots of chemistry, the instant attraction that immediately springs up between them isn’t particularly well developed. Technically a prequel to her Fable duology, her latest novel Saint depicts the epic love story between Fable’s parents, a relationship that is referenced many times in those novels with varying degrees of reverence and mythologizing. Her “World of the Narrows” series, full of richly imagined tales of high seas adventures, smugglers, and pirates is the perfect escapist adventure, with the sort of thorough, lived-in world-building that will doubtless leave readers hoping for more stories in this universe for years to come. ![]() ![]() This is a big part of the reason why Adrienne Young’s books have felt like a breath of fresh air in recent years. For whatever reason, historical fiction is hard to find in the young adult publishing space these days as boundary-pushing contemporary stories, lush fantasy tales, and grim dystopias seem to dominate shelf space. ![]() ![]() He looks around, making sure that no one is listening, but one of the things we’ve come to love about N’Awlins is, no one cares who he is. “Why?” Will’s voice is quiet and strained, and I find his eyes with mine. The chickaree coffee compliments the beignets perfectly. “Well, if I were, I’d have to change them because I think I just had an orgasm.” The old woman at the table next to us gasps, but I ignore her and take another bite and throw my head back as I chew, my eyes closed, savoring the deliciousness. “You’re not wearing any.” His eyes heat as he narrows them at me playfully. ![]() ![]() “Dear Lord, I think I need to change my panties.” He laughs at the mess I make with the white powder and takes a big bite of his own treat. “I do.” I smirk again and pick up a warm, fragrant beignet, shake a bit of the excess sugar off, and take a bite. “I just want to hang out with you, everything else is gravy.” “I thought we could just wander around, shop, listen to the street musicians.” He shrugs as the waitress sets three baskets of square, fried dough with powdered sugar liberally dumped on the top on the table, along with our chickaree coffee. “So,” I sit across from him at a tiny bistro table and perch my sunglasses on top of my head. “They’re really good,” he answers simply and leads me to a table outside in the shade. ![]() ![]() “Yes, please.” I nod and wait while he orders. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Uris' persistently researched and reconstituted history goes even further back with 18th century insets and the potato famine and Parnell and, and, and. With his usual partisan magnanimity, Uris devotes himself to another popular/unpopular lost cause, the Irish, and in particular the Fenian struggle which extended from the mid 19th century to the Easter Monday Uprising of 1916 in all its "Terrible Beauty." The Trinity of the title, according to the publishers, refers to three families (only two are around for most of the book) but surely must be the past, present and future which keeps repeating itself inexorably through the years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Currently she is a producer on Netflix’s popular ongoing series, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.ĭonna is also the author of four highly acclaimed historical novels from Penguin New American Library (The Turncoat, The Rebel Pirate, Mistress Firebrand, and The Dutch Girl) and four bestselling urban fantasy novels from Pocket Star (Cold Iron, Silver Skin, Stone Song, and Blade Dance), writing as DL McDermott.
