A Man Called Ove: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

Best Heart Melt Award 🏆 2018 nomination goes to A Man Called Ove. What a roller coaster of emotions I went through reading this book. I cannot recall ever laughing or ugly crying so much over any fictional character as I had over old man Ove. This one is a keeper on my shelf.

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One | Patrick Rothfuss

I downloaded the first book of this series for free a few months back, but I didn‘t read it until this past week. I have to say, I‘m in love with this series. This is another cult classic that is rightfully loved by many. I‘m so glad I finally read this. I‘m reading book 2 now and can‘t wait for the final instalment.

Good Omens | Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

Finally read this cult classic this year in preparation for the upcoming series. It was clear from the beginning why it‘s got such a following. This is getting reread in 2019 before the series finally drops. I also explored more Gaiman and Pratchett because of this book, so it was really a gateway read.

LazyDays Me too! Mine was American Gods, Gaiman nonetheless 5y

Literary_Siren You should definitely check out

The Long Earth

GingerAntics @LazyDays that‘s next up for me I think. I‘ve discovered the STARZ adaptation of it. I‘ve seen a few episodes of it, and I should finish it while we still have access to it, but it‘s so good I want to read the book first. I‘m torn. I‘ve heard good thinks about American Gods and Norse Mythology (both up soon). I did enjoy Neverwhere, Stardust, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane this year as well. It‘s been a Gaiman sort of year!!! lol 5y

GingerAntics @Literary_Siren thanks, I‘ve just added that to my TBR. I‘ll try anything with either of these names on it. (edited) 5y

LazyDays @GingerAntics you HAVE to read it or listen to the audio. It. Is. So. Good. 5y

LazyDays I'm starting Good Omens right now, because I just have to see the show, I mean David Tennant come on 5y

GingerAntics @LazyDays I‘ve been on the waiting list for the audio and the book at the library for about 6 months and still have another 6 months to wait, so I think I‘m just going to chuck it all and buy it. Hopefully I have an extra $10 when I get paid on Thursday. 🤞🏻 5y

GingerAntics @LazyDays that‘s why I first heard about Good Omens!!! I‘ll watch anything with David Tennant in it, and the stills and videos I‘ve seen of the show just made me smile. After I read the book I was even more excited for it. 5y

LazyDays @GingerAntics 🤞🤞 I'll watch almost anything with Tennant 🎉 5y

GingerAntics @LazyDays you and me both 5y

Gezemice Oh yes, this is really fun! And Tennant is a great pick. (edited) 5y

The Good Knight: (A Gareth and Gwen Medieval Mystery Book 1) | Sarah Woodbury

Choosing one “best” of the year just isn‘t going to happen. Discovering Sarah Woodbury as an author. I adore her Gareth and Gwen Mysteries and can‘t wait for the next one. Her spin on the King Arthur legend wasn‘t bad either.

LazyDays It is a tough choice, for discovery I think Backman opened up a rabbit hole for me. I normally just read dark mysteries/ crime/thriller. Everything else was to musy 😂 Backman helped me ease into it. 5y

LazyDays I'll have to check out the medieval Mysteries! 5y
