My Friends | 
pickAt this point I think I‘d cry just reading Backman‘s grocery list, he‘s that poignant and great of a writer. His newest novel explores the depth of friendship and finding one‘s self in the world. While I think it‘s a little bit slower pace than some of his other works, it still carries the depth, humor, and great characters we have come to love from Backman.
4.5⭐️

These are my four nominated titles for #CampLitsy25 - well, the first set, that is. I tend to go overboard with these kinds of things. 🤓🥰📚
pick4.5/5
A wonderfully written book full of humor and grief about the strength of friendship beyond loss and tragedy. The dying artist C. Jat sells everything he owns to buy back his first painting, and then gives it away to a teenager he just met, named Louisa, which leads her on a journey to understand what lead the artist to create the painting.

Go get this book when it hits bookshelves. It publishes March 24, 2025! You will not be sorry.
The emotions I had reading this book were like a rollercoaster. I was laughing so hard, then the next paragraph, I would have tears in my eyes. Fredrik Backman's writing is amazing! The way he wrote made me feel as if I was right there that summer on the peir with the artist, Ted, Joar, and Ali!

Louisa is a teenager, the best kind of human.

pickGrab your tissues Backman has a book coming 5.20.25 - Pictured here the day I read in public and hit page 60 and decided I would only be reading at home
No one else writes with such humor and charm and utter tenderness. The word "tenderness" kept floating through my brain as I was reading this absolutely lovely book. No other author can have you laughing at kids fart jokes one paragraph then tearing up over those kids futures the next like him.
pickThis is lovely. I'm going out on a limb and comparing it to Three by Valerie Perrin. I loved that book. I loved this book quite nearly as much.
