Me: Everything I've been reading lately is really meta--books about writers and books and genre conventions--and it's interfering with my writing process. I need to read stories that are just stories and not books about other books.
Me, ten seconds later: Rereads 84, Charing Cross Road and watches a Youtube series about Wishbone.
#in my defense i have none#i just stumbled on youtube videos about both#plus side after i finished 84ccr i immediately wanted to reread last year's inklings challenge story#and it turns out that story is better immediately after reading 84ccr#which i did not expect to happen at all#i was afraid it would pale by comparison and instead the original book elevated it (especially the beginning)#because it was very clear what i was going for#there's a rocky part in the latter part of first act or so but once it gets going i was still invested in the story so i guess it works#but anyway now that *that's* over i am on a strict youtube ban and probably reading ban too#unless it's stuff that will get me in a fantasy mindset#84 charing cross road#wishbone

Currently Reading: 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
This is my second read-through of this small collection of letters between Helene Hanff and the staff at Marks & CO., Booksellers and how their relationships grew through the letters and through the years. Just lovely, and I love how Helene Hanff writes, she's hilariously dry!

84 Charing Cross Road (1987) starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins
The movie is based on the memoir 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff, which is an epistolary memoir composed of letters from the twenty-year correspondence between the author and Frank Doel, chief buyer for Marks & Co antiquarian booksellers, located at the eponymous address in London.
While the shop closed in 1970, the building still exists and there is a plaque that acknowledges the story and marks the site. I have watched the movie numerous times and highly recommend it but be warned it is one of those stories where nothing big happens but a lot of little things happen that add up to a big thing. And the description on the poster above is misleading since technically the relationship between the two main characters could be described as a "love affair" it is not a romance movie.
