Try the Griffon and Sabine Trilogy if you are interested in a more unusual, fantastical story in this style. Great artwork, compelling story albeit strange.

Letters from Skye!
Whitney Moore
You might want to try "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn, one of the most creative pieces of writing I have ever encountered: an allegory that is both hilarious and horrifying, my favorite combination.
Meg
You might like the Cecilia and Kate series by Caroline Stevermer and Patricia Wrede. If I recall correctly, it's two women in the Victorian era who get tangled up in magical derring-do.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses - the 19th Century French epistolary novel by Pierre Choderlos is an absolute must read. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a classic. It's ridiculously entertaining even if you're already seen Dangerous Liaisons - the film with John Malkovitch and Glen Close.
Jacquelyn Paull
If you are interested in art and artists, there is "Dear Theo". It has the letters Vincent Van Gough wrote to his brother over his lifetime.
Rebekah
I found this book had a lot in common with Dear Enemy by Jean Webster, the author of Daddy Long Legs.
Hilde
I liked Gut gegen Nordwind (Love Virtually) and Alle Sieben Wellen (Every Seventh Wave ) both by Daniel Glattauer. The first one is slightly better, in my opinion.

Gilead by Marilynn Robinson, A Woman of Independent Means by Elizabeth Forsyth Hailey, Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith

A little late to the party here, but Meet Me at the Museum was great!
Lydia Marshall
Anne of Windy Poplars (book four of the Anne of Green Gables series)
Ambar Marcelo
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
Lisa
The Pickwick Papers.
Eric
Dostoyevsky's first, "Poor Folk", is a good first novel and pretty good epistolary novel, I think (not quite as good as what he was writing a few years later of course)
Genevieve Poppe
I enjoyed Where'd You Go Bernadette
Donna Jarvis
I have just read Letters from Skye

I'll Be Seeing You is a great one. I cried and cried while reading it.

Bram Stoker's Dracula is a great read.
Janine
The Diary of a Murder by Lee Jackson.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen!

Try Daddy Long-Legs (recommended by the author's niece who helped finish and edit the novel) and Dear Enemy (both by Jean Webster)
Kirby
Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
I loved it! It's in epistolary style and it's similar to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Perks of Being a Wallflower
Angela
Dracula by Bram Stoker! Such a classic
Jill Fountain
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes is written as diary entries by a mentally disabled man undergoing experimental treatment to increase his intelligence.
Paul Bifford
Chronicles of a Radical Hag is similar style, but a much better developed set of characters.
Kathy
I recommend The Which Way Tree by Elizabeth Crook � vastly different in setting and characters, but like GLAPPPS rendered entirely as a series of letters. The Audible.com performance is excellent.
Donna
You might like "From Across the Room" by Gina Mulligan.
Lilith
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is an epistolary novel - on of my favorite books of all time.
Tarang Sinha
Love Virtually and Every Seventh Wave {the sequel}.
Sherry Beth Preston
The Chilbury Ladies Choir is not only epistolary but also set in WWII England. I thought the books had a lot in common.
Kathleen
I second the recommendation for Sorcery and Cecila by Caroline Stevermer and Patricia Wrede. Dear Enemy and Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster are also two classics.
Haley
The Montmaray Journals by Michelle Cooper is a lesser known but very good epistolary style historical fiction trilogy.
Rose
The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker is a epistolary style book. It was published in the late 1700's so the writing (grammar, spelling) is interesting. You almost have to sound out some of the words to figure out the meaning. Sartain is certain. Even though it's old, the characters and story are familiar and ring true to human nature that transcends the era.
Silvio111
THE HIRED GIRL by Laura Amy Schlitz. It is a Young Adult Fiction, but it worked for me.
Katrina
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.
Alison Malayter
Ella Minnow Pea!
