A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman
A Man Called Ove by Frederik BackmanFinished January 2022
Well, after reading three other books by the author and finding them kind of annoying (Anxious People, Britt-Marie Was Here, and Things My Son Needs to Know About the World), I finally enjoyed a Frederik Backman book! Maybe I’m getting used to his style or I was just more receptive this time around, but I wasn’t as annoyed with this book. This author definitely has a unique writing style that will either drive you up a wall or make you fall in love. I was more in the “drive you up a wall” camp until I read this book. (I kept trying because many people I know and respect REALLY like this author.) Perhaps this is his best book (it is one of the best known) or perhaps I just adjusted to his style, but I found this one sweet and kind of heart-warming.
Gallant by V.E. Schwab

This was book club read. I rather enjoyed it, but you need to give yourself over to the atmosphere and supernatural aspects of the book. The book includes multiple pictures that are important to the story so it may work better in print or on an e-reader than on audio. Not everyone will be a fan of this book, but I kind of enjoyed it. It would be good book to read in October during “spooky” season.
