There are books that make you feel seen—stories where the words leap off the page, seemingly written just for you. But what if there was a book that claimed it was, quite literally, written for you?
Enter This Was Written for You, a literary mystery that has been captivating readers, myself included, with its intriguing concept and unknown origins.
SEE – NOW YOU’RE CURIOUS!!!
At first glance, This Was Written for You appears to be a collection of letters, thoughts, and reflections meant to resonate deeply with the reader. What immediately caught my attention was the idea that this book feels like it has a personal message hidden within its pages. The anonymity of the author only deepens the mystery—who could have written something so profoundly intimate without revealing themselves?
The book’s structure is unique, almost as if each page is a puzzle piece, asking us to step into the narrative. As an avide book lover, I often come across stories that invite us in—but This Was Written for You feels like an invitation to something more: a personal exploration. The text is meant to be experienced rather than simply read, which is what makes it stand out in an age where stories can sometimes feel formulaic.
But I can’ stop thinking about the book’s origins. There’s little to no background information about the author or how this book came to be. This mystery is irresistible to someone as nosy as me.
This Was Written for You is definitely a conversation starter. Is it a love letter to humanity, a personal reflection for each reader to interpret in their own way, or something else entirely? I don’t have all the answers, but I’d love for us to explore them together.
So, if you’re someone who enjoys peeling back layers, following clues, and unraveling a mystery, this might be the perfect book for you. Let’s dive in and see where this literary journey takes us.

What a great post. I was told about this book about 6 months ago and can’t stop thinking about it. I know some of the people who found it and even they seem to know nothing about where it came from. I have two guesses – that it was written by someone who never wanted to be known because it would ruin the experience of the story from the reader’s perspective. Or that it was written by one of the authors that were friends with the book collector but was never published and then forgotten about.
