Rolling Stone's 65th greatest album of all time (489th in the 2020 list)
Superb collection of motown classics. Three full discs of some of the best soul and R&B songs ever made, plus the good old Christmas Gift album (which was also listed by Rolling Stone in its own right, so I listened to the same Xmas album twice in one week in June!). A diverse range of artists included, from Ben E King, Darlene Love, the Ronettes, Ike & Tina Turner and The Righteous Brothers.

"I read these out loud quite often. The letters are gathered from such a diverse range of people, from Steve Martin to Napoleon, and David Bowie to Mary, Queen of Scots—in this case on the night of her execution. There are love letters, letters of state, there’s a particularly funny one from a British ambassador to Moscow. They are tiny chinks of light into all these different lives, from Charlie Chaplin to Hitler. Each letter is reproduced as a facsimile of the original."

This book is a collection of eight stories, told by an unknown narrator. Every story is empowering and unique. I really liked the strong will and determination these twelve-year-old girls showed. The princesses are diverse, and it was a real pleasure to read about different cultures.

The narratives are always changing, and the mirror is the only thing linking the stories together. I really enjoyed the turns and little twists in each story, as well as a little bit of sweet romance.
