Book Review of Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks

Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks
debbiemd avatar reviewed on


Non-fiction quick read by a librarian in the form of letters to books. Each chapter was a letter to a different book. Love letters. Break up letters. Relatable since I felt the same way about many of the books or types of books. Some quirky book choices. Some letters were laugh out loud funny. Others made me think or want to re-read. And at the end were lists of books. I died and went to heaven! Added a few titles to my TBR list. Some favorites letters:
(1) Russian literature - check out to look well read and worldly but can't seem to actually pick it up and start reading. Check!
(2) The Time Traveler's Wife. Loved this book. Need to re-read!
(3) Fancy bookshelf at a party - LOL!
(4) Saw Frog and Toad by Lobel in a whole new way. Food and procrastination. Need to look at this one again too!
(5) Color Me Beautiful - beauty color advice book from the 80s. How could I forget this one? Brought back so many high school memories. And when she says she's never worn certain colors in the decades since? Check!
(6) Another children's book to re-read - Yertle the Turtle by Seuss. Is this really about the little people getting a little mad and overthrowing a dictatorship?!
