As is traditional, the ending of the year is marked by the reading of the Women (and men) of Letters anthology. And as usual this edition is moving, funny and quite brilliant.
So much gratitude for these letter writers who share the most intimate parts of themselves and remind us that we are all flawed, we are all human but also, we are all perfect, in our own way.

I thought I'd gleefully get to tick a book off my to-read list but this idiot hadn't even added her Christmas present. Sigh. ANYWAY.
This was my first Women of Letters book, despite having been to countless WoL events! My brother got it for me as a gift and I took great delight in devouring it easily, even greater delight at recognising a number of the letters in the book from events I've attended. Some were silly, some were so moving I teared up. Excellent editing to put it all together in the right order so I was never too sad or too bored, and only a couple of letters made me feel like I wasn't in on the joke.
