TieDyeDude
Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

Bailedbailed

50 pages about who in town likes hockey and how much. I'm not digging it (spoiler alert: the girl doesn't like hockey 🙄)

wildwoodreads Hahaha that sounds riveting. I think I‘ll skip this one. (edited) 1d
TieDyeDude @wildwoodreads It's gotten really good reviews, and I understand that he's setting up to show the misogyny and lengths the town will go to protect its hockey team, but I'm just not feeling it right now. 😜 1d
youneverarrived I know a lot of people love this but it wasn‘t for me 🫤 1d

Prairiegirl_reading @TieDyeDude I almost dnf‘d this too. After page 100 it‘s sooo good. Way too much set up, and if you are from a hockey town (like I am) all of this is just 😞. BUT if you are some day feeling it, it does get better. But you have to want to get to the hundred page mark. 1d
staci.reads It's definitely a slow start, but I ended up loving it. Sometimes it's just the wrong time. 1d
TheLudicReader Everyone loves this book/series, but I really did not like it and only kept going because it was a book club pick. You might be in the minority with your opinion, but you are definitely not alone. 12h

Number 4 in the Sandhamn Murders series. There's only a bit part for the island in this one, with the neighbouring island of Korso playing a bigger part. An intriguing mystery and some happy developments in Norah and Thomas's lives.

Simon‘s Family had the ingredients I usually love—family saga, multiple POVs—but the jumps in time and murky relationships left me more confused than compelled. Many readers adore its sparse style, but I just couldn‘t connect. A miss for me. ⭐️💫 1.5/5 ❤️📚

Entering my Backman era…

KAO I‘m currently reading the sequel, Us Against You! 3w
Amor4Libros @KAO How exciting! I‘ve heard nothing but great things about this series, so I couldn‘t wait any longer to start it 😅 3w
KAO @Amor4Libros I read Beartown a couple of years ago and loved it! I should have read Us Against You sooner, I think. I am having a harder time getting into it but I‘m still all in. I recommend not waiting too long before diving into the sequel, if possible! 3w

Amor4Libros @KAO I don‘t think I‘ll be waiting long to read the rest of the series since I‘m about 10% into this one and already invested! 3w

The Winners | Fredrik Backman

Pickpick

“Our children never warn us that they‘re thinking of growing up, one day they‘re just too big to want to hold our hand, it‘s just as well we never know when the last time is going to be or we‘d never let go.”

Sigh…
Rich characterizations, flawed but loveable humans in a town whose lifeblood is hockey competition. Third book in the Beartown series-it seems there were so many subplots to wrap up, it grew very long (684 pages), but ultimately⬇️

Great picks for me! One that is high on my list and one that is a short story (85 pages is a long short story tho) #bookspinbingo
