Welcome to Litsy!

This was a wonderful short read for today! I‘m very much an introvert and frequently time to myself is my happy place, so I found several aspects of this story very relatable. I also loved some of the things it had to say about happiness and contentment, and I laughed several times over the absurdity.

Lucas thinks he‘s attained pure happiness through living alone, but a meddling neighborhood council turns his world upside. I love Backman and while I enjoy his novellas, I wish they were full novels.

This is a wonderfully absurdist short story about human nature and relationships set in an apartment building where a growing pile of junk is wreaking havoc. Fredrik Backman really knows how to write a great story.

The characters were caricatures in the best way possible. Classical F. Backman :) Perfect short read!

Only read 3 stories and had to stop. Boring, ending made no sense and didn't want to read any more.

Like with most short story collections, I liked some more than others. So many were heartbreaking. But also full of love of family. Sony‘s Gone might have been my favorite, but The Bones of Louella Brown was also a favorite. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

A quick one of course to follow the last one. This was good, about being happy and all the ridiculousness of life as an adult.
