April is National Letter Writing Month! 

 I hope you'll take the time to maybe write a letter or two to a far away family member or to an old friend. If you want ideas of what to write or who to write to, check out the Write_On campaign which challenges you to write handwritten letters.

To celebrate, here is a short list of epistolary novels that you can find here at the La Quinta Library! Note: If you're like me and didn't know of this term until like a few months ago, an epistolary novel is one that is made up of letters or includes any kind of documented communication between characters (ex: text messages, diary entries, etc).

Happy Reading!
