READ THE WORLD CHALLENGE
Not very Australian focused, but I really loved it, I obviously cried and it was a beautiful fiction book out of my fantasy comfort.
My favourite things about it were the importance of the bookshop and of reading and the beauty of secondhand books in the story, how the theme of the death of a loved one was dealt with and the Letter Library as a concept.

It’s sad, it’s hopeful, it’s wonderful, it will stay with me for a long time. It might be a 5* read, but I’m not sure… maybe after a second read it will be. 

I haven’t read a book that I’ve had so many tears fall but also not been mad about it...

Not bad, but just a lot of YA miscommunication for my developed adult brain. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅
