Thank you for being here!
Subscribe to get full access to the BookLove Letter, for wholehearted explorations of our world and our shared humanity, through stories.
By stories, I mean those that are personal and universal, mine and yours, the ones we find printed in books and the ones we share in conversation with one another.
Book recommendations abound, primarily titles considered world or international lit, combined and interspersed with contemplations.
Here’s what some longtime subscribers have to say:
“I'm always so happy to see you in the inbox. Because I can take a moment to stop and actually reflect about something I adore: reading. You are a brilliant, heartfelt, fully present writer. I have never looked forward to reading an email as much as I look forward to yours!” –Jeannie
“I love your newsletters. They're gentle, hopeful, and a reminder to me that life shouldn't be grasped in a chokehold but just tenderly hugged.” –Christine
“Your post moved me, and made me tear up. Again, I find myself wishing I could get every single person on earth to read your emails. We’d be so much better off!” –Lynne
All content is provided for free. Paid subscriptions will be coming as an option to support the work, but won’t restrict what you receive.
About me
I’m Lisa Carter, founder of Intralingo, where for over two decades I published multiple fiction and non-fiction books, stories, and essays as a literary translator, and helped other writers and translators as a coach and editor. Always a wanderer, I’m now a Travel Advisor at Intralingo Travel, where I offer carefully curated journeys, with connection at the heart. What else? I’m a passionate reader, of course, and founder of Wayfarers Bookclub. I’m a Tai Chi teacher and ever-beginner, with 19 years of contemplative and compassion practice. And I’m ever so pleased to be here with you.
