I'm on vacation for the next couple of weeks, but I'll be tackling a book that we are thinking of for 2018. We hope to post our choice soon!

Book Club 2017 Followup
Our Great Escape Book Club selection for last year was A Man Called Ove. Readers enjoyed it greatly and our discussions about what constitutes a community were lively and enjoyable. We were psyched that so many Escapers came to the discussion.
The author, Fredrick Backman, has written more books, and since I enjoyed Ove I decided to read both of them. If you read them, know that you should tackle the Grandmother before you take on Britt Marie, since Britt Marie is a sequel to Grandmother. I found Britt-Marie more compelling than the Grandmother, and more similar to Ove. Let me know your feelings. And keep your silverware drawers well organized.

I have heard so many great things about Ove. I need to find more time in my life to simply read.
ReplyDeleteI read Grandmother and plan to read Britt-Marie shortly, along with Ove, that I down-loaded, but never got to! I loved 'Grandmother' and am excited to do some catching up on an upcoming vacation! Isn't that what vacations are really for??
