🎶 I get so emotional, baby / Every time I think of Beartown Hockey 🎶

What a finale. So many threads woven so intricately, so much PAIN, but also so much joy. Backman writes the realities of life, both good and bad. #contemporarylit #litintranslation #wearethebears

Short story collections usually don‘t work for me as #audiobooks, and this wasn‘t an exception. While the wide cast of narrators helped show off each story, I only liked the title one, Q&A, and The Dogs. It didn‘t help that the novella that was 40% of the book (An Exotic Marriage) wasn‘t a hit for me. Count this one checked off my #audible #MountTBR!

Cinfhen Too bad even multiple cast narration couldn‘t save this collection! Especially since it‘s such a fun title (edited) 3y
Reggie I am totally one for short stories but I dnfed this one. 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen @reggie yeah, this certainly isn‘t a great collection. 3y

Any novel banned in Israeli high schools would certainly catch my attention. Why does Israel's Ministry of Education consider this book so dangerous? Could it be because it's a love story between an Israeli and a Palestinian? #DoritRabinyan #LitInTranslation #diversereads #bannedbooks
