A collection of letters written by celebrities to their younger selves. Not a bad book but the letters were too short in my opinion, not a lot of depth but there were some encouraging words. It was a perfectly short and sweet read to jumpstart the new year though. I'm going to try to read 4 books a month so here's the rest of the stack I hope to get through for January 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Finished listening to this book last weekend. Very empowering and thought provoking. Kermit the Frog makes an appearance which made me laugh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

ReadosaurusText @tournevis I was underlining the description of the forthcoming book I mentioned. Reid‘s project is the one I‘m interested in. 5y
tournevis @ReadosaurusText I got that part. I was just asking why he would be worth a pic in a contemporary magazine. Talk about as-been. 5y

#24B4Monday - Update

Well I‘ve only managed to read 5.5 hours so far. 😅 I was in a little bit of a low mood on Friday so didn‘t get much read then. I‘m much better now thanks! 😊
I did finish this book today and I recommend it. ❤️
Now I‘m reading Meet Me at the Museum and so far I‘m enjoying it. Reminds me a little bit of 84 Charing Cross Road which was also a fabulous book. 🥰📚

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65

I rate this as a pick because I think the sentiment of these notes is amazing and it‘s a worthwhile project. I know they were trying to get people from all walks of life, but the most boring letter was written by an architect. I think the selections of some of the people could have been better or more inspiring, some with better letters
