Review

“A winsome volume published this year in which the librarian Annie Spence writes letters to books she has loved, or not.” ―New York Times Book Review “Perfect for any bibliophile and terrifically funny.” ―Library Journal, starred Review “A librarian delivers a charming epistolary volume that begs to be read with pencil in hand.... A smart, funny, forthright librarian in book form.” ―Kirkus“Dear Dear Fahrenheit 451, thanks for the lovely reminder of the ways we find ourselves in books.” ―Booklist, starred review“The truest testament to the quality of Dear Fahrenheit 451…is that my enjoyment of it was, in the end, great enough to outweigh my fury that someone other than me had written it....She has a unique ability to capture the thoughts and feelings of book lovers, both professional and otherwise, on the page.” ―NPR“Readers (and librarians especially) will appreciate the sly stabs or ‘roasting’ that the author makes to point out fine and not-so-fine moments of key books that she is contemplating removing from her shelf. She weaves in stories from her life inside a library (which is fodder for chuckles in itself). Perfect for fans of Jenny Lawson.” ―LibraryReads, “The top ten books published this month that librarians across the country love”“Hard to put down....Dear Fahrenheit 451 is a delightful gem for readers who experience stories as friends, not just words on a page.” ―Shelf Awareness“A collection of one public librarian and book lover's snarky, relatable, and hilarious (like really, really, laugh-out-loud hilarious) letters to the books she has loved (and hated, and passed on) throughout her life." ―Bustle“A must-read for librarians (duh) and avid book lovers." ―Albany Times-Union“A funny, reflective look at the books we love and the ones we don't." ―Gazette-Mail“Spence, like all devoted librarians, is informed, well-read, and able to keep a straight face when somebody asks her where to find a book on the Norman Tableknocker Choir. Her knowledge is encyclopedic. And―the reader is warned―she can be a tad salty…As they say at the library, check it out.” ―The Virginian-Pilot“Spence is a Michigan librarian with a predictable passion for books and an endearing, if less conventional, habit of talking to them. More accurately, she writes to them with sweetness and candor, with fondness and scorn.” ―The Kansas City Star“All books should be as fun as this…I want to keep this book at home, but I know it must be shared with the world.” ―Burlington Times-News

I received this book on the day it released (yesterday) and simply couldn't put it down (well, except when life realities got in the way). Annie is as clever as she is likeable, with a snarky dark side that I just loved. With short chapters that alternately made me giggle and tear up or get wistful, it was the perfect read for my busy, easily interrupted life as a mom. I was impressed by several things. First, I'm blown away by the sheer volume of books she has read and has opinions about- copious and truly diverse. Having not come to pleasure reading until later in life, I found her wide array of knowledge to be inspiring and informative. She made even the most obscure titles sound interesting.Secondly, Annie is just really funny. I can imagine her actually holding these books in her hands and expressing her clever sentiments. Or quietly being snarky with me by the bookshelf at a party. I love the little personal and family details that she weaves into the stories, making the book even more endearing to me.Finally, this book inspired me to read more books. I love books that make me feel this way. I have a very lengthy list of her recommendations and am looking forward to getting started-- with the help of my local library.FYI to potential readers, Annie uses some language, and some less-than-savory themes are discussed... because of humor and because of books. I enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to reading it again in the future.

LOVED IT! As an ex-librarian I chuckled, laughed out loud, savored the sweet spots (to reread FROG & TOAD now with Annie Spence’s tenderness for them made it all a new experience), made out lists, and ordered several more of this book as gifts. Spence is an uninhibited reviewer who isn’t trying to create the 100 BOOKS YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU KEEL OVER. This is pure joy. And her view of hobbity creatures still makes me laugh. Spence is a librarian with a robust joy of books that she loves or not. It’s delightful. And yes, I ordered some FROG & TOAD for adults and children. Ms. Spence, they owe you for the uptick in orders of some books because of you in the stacks.

Given how much I love to exchange book recommendations and stories of the books that changed my life, I knew I would enjoy this read. And by the end, it felt like I had met a friend for coffee and spent hours discussing our favorite reads, and some of our not-so-favorite ones, too. I also found a list of new literary friends I need to meet and worlds to get lost in during my reading. And, the author gives to best answer to the question of which author would you invite for dinner, and why. The answer is Anne Frank, "because I would love to watch that bright young woman’s smile grow upon learning that she is an internationally celebrated author." And I am not crying now, YOU are crying.

Loved this book! It is split into two parts, the first consists of breakup / love letters to the books in her life as a librarian, and the second are hilarious book lists that may help you in certain situations, such as how to turn your lover into a reader.
 Regarding the letters - there were books I had not read (Virgin Suicides), and some I added to my TBR because of her letters (as if I needed more to read). She was spot on in some of her reviews (50 shades...) and some I politely disagreed with (I was not that big a fan of The Goldfinch, sorry).
The book lists were my favorite though, and I thought this format was absolutely genius. She starts the lists off with the topic of 'I'd Rather Be Reading', and gives excuses to tell your friends so you can stay home and read, along with a book that pairs with the theme of the excuse. I was dying on a few of them, for example, "I'll be at my high school reunion. Want to be my date?" And then she recommends Home Land by Sam Lipsyte, which is apparently a novel about a guy that has a high school nickname of Teabag. It just keeps going from there.


Honestly, I bought this book because the excerpt amused me. Now I tremble with the thought that I could easily have missed it. It's just like the long, fun conversations I had with my bookstore coworkers all the time. It brought back so many happy memories, and renewed my desire to become a librarian myself. That's always been my dream, and this book perfectly showcases why. Not incidentally, my TBR list has experienced a growth spurt, too.

This book is so great! It's funny, charming, and completely relatable read. I couldn't put it down and couldn't stop laughing while reading it. The author is a great writer, and I really liked this charming little book with a ton of personality and character (I even loved the vulgarity, it made me laugh even more!). It was hilarious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great new read, and this book would be perfect for your next book club book!

I love this book. Most of the books that are a subject for her letters I have read or am familiar with, so her "letter" to the book is really meaningful and true. A few I haven't read and have now added to my reading list. I found the tone startling at first but soon settled in and soon found it laugh out loud funny. I haven't laughed that much with a book since the last David Sedaris came out. The best one for a laugh was the Steven King. My co-workers in the break room insisted that I pass the book around after I finished reading the letter to his book. ( each letter is about a page and a half so it's easy for multiple people to read it on a half hour break. ) I will wait impatiently for her next book.

Oh, Annie. This book was a hoot, and I read it right after weeding my own bookshelves and having reassuring talks with the books going into storage until more bookshelves materialize. For me, your book did everything you wanted it to - I laughed, I added titles to my TBR list, and remembered book relationships good and bad. Nicely done!
