(4) YA Illustrated by Lisa Congdon. In Blank, entries from a Tumblr featuring anonymously submitted, unsent letters are organized in categories ("Dear Me," "Love," "Loss," "Thank You," among others); unfortunately, many letters, while relatable, are clichéd. Message is a less-organized compilation of submissions to another Tumblr focusing on people's experiences with "last words." In both browsable novelty books, doodlelike illustrations sometimes compete with the entries' emotional resonance. Review covers these titles: Dear My Blank and The Last Message Received.
