What Should I Read Next?

Ep 250: I want a book that reads like a love letter

Today’s guest has a story that sounds like the beginning of a juicy historical fiction novel.
As a teenager, Liz Maguire came across a batch of 1920s love letters at a flea market. This launched an obsession with collecting vintage letters and preserving people’s personal correspondence as a piece of history. Of course, this project has had a marked affect on her reading life, so Liz has come to Anne looking for books that measure up to the detailed, intimate depictions of the real stories found in her vintage letters.
