Anxious People
by Fredrik Backman
View in Library Catalog



This was up and down for me. Excellent plotting, meaningful observations, poignant moments, and a reflection of the author’s deep understanding of the human condition. Didn’t really love the style. Also felt as if the author was teaching a class in what he has learned about life. I appreciated the intricate unraveling of the story, and the amazing development of 6 degrees of separation among the characters. Ending was very uplifting, Perhaps, a bit to neatly tied up.
Wrong Place Wrong Time

This book is a must read. Without giving too much away, the story happens backwards, but there is a very specific reason for this. Without giving too much away, Jen’s son does something terrible and Jen finds herself in an unexpected journey back to try and …do what? She’s not sure on exactly what she is supposed to do, but each day, or actually each repeated day, brings new clues. And although she is focused on her son’s actions, there are others very close to her who will have their darkest secrets revealed.
Harold

I was excited to see this first novel by my favorite comedian. The structure of this story supports the style of Wright (short weird stories and truths), but as a novel, it seems disjointed. The whole end of the book is weak. Oh well
Walking With Sam
by Andrew McCarthy
View in Library Catalog



This is the story of this teen actor (now best selling author and travel enthusiast) returning to Spain for a 500-mile walk with his 19 year old son. Andrew walked this path about 25 years earlier and he expresses both experiences with joy and awe. I loved the parent perspective Andrew gives to the adventure and the stories of the duo on the road with other pilgrims. Another unexpected terrific book.

Saddest plot twist right at the end but overall brilliant if you are committed to the book!

"When a group of college friends experience the loss of one of their own, they make a pact to have living funerals and not wait until it's too late to hear what they mean to each other."

Nova

This was a fun, fast-paced RH romance. It set up the main plot and got characters into position for the cliffhanger at the end!
