In reply to Cat. I had My Friends on hold for quite awhile before it became available for me, but it was worth the wait. I hope the same for you!

Thank you for the recommendations. I put a hold on “My Friends” now.

In reply to Farrah.

Fredrick Backman is one of my favorite authors now too. Anxious People still has my mind reeling; such a creative way of telling a story! I’ve not read many of his books though, which is kinda fun to still have them to look forward to. 🙂

Thanks for sharing about the changed date for the linkup. I’ll make a note of it because I do want to continue joining in!

In reply to kirstin troyer. Take My Hand was one of those books that I loved but also hated that it really happened. I recommend it.

Take My Hand was a difficult one to read, but definitely an important one. My Friends is pretty high up on my TBR right now — I love Fredrik Backman’s books!

I moved my My Month Is Booked linkup to the last Monday of each month (sorry), so if you’re interested, feel free to link up there! :]

These sound good. I’ve heard of the Take my Hand but haven’t read it.

In reply to Lory. Homegoing is one of those books that always sounds so familiar, but I don't think I ever actually read it. I need to pick up a copy and flip through it to see. And if I haven't read it, I'd like to!

In reply to Joanne. I'm glad you liked My Friend as well, Joanne! I found it so mesmerizing in both its depth and its triviality with the characters. Masterful!
