pick4 Stars • The Answer Is No by Fredrik Backman is a quick, funny read that‘s pure Backman—witty, warm, and a bit absurd. Lucas, a grumpy introvert, just wants to game and eat pad thai in peace, but a rogue frying pan in his building‘s recycling room sparks a hilarious mess of nosy neighbors, petty apartment board drama, and even a cult calling him an angel. ⬇️
pickClaire Keegan delivers here quite a sad, but not uncommon tale of an unhappy marriage.
Quite atmospheric, it's a well-written short story.
Hello! It's been awhile but we are back to talk books. We start by knocking off the rust with random observations (longtime listeners will know this a ruse to not become too successful) before we delve into Ernest Hemingway's short story “Hills Like White Elephants.“ After that we nominate a great collection of books to add to our famous TBR. (We add more than one...)

pickTold very tongue in cheek in the style of “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.” This short story/novella will quickly have you chuckling (or cringing in frustration) at the absurdity of people and life.
My #Bookspin choice was a book by K.L. Noone; I intended to start with The Magician but this turned out the be a prequel. It's a short fantasy romance with some lovely writing, and definitely piques interest for the next book.
#JumpStartSummer (this time for sure!) book #1
pickA very quick read. The story has connections to Roswell and its history. It is quirky and rather unique.
4/5⭐️
Back online after a long long time
Well I was in a slump, insta slump, reading slump and what not.
Finally 1st read of 2025 , though a short story, it felt like a hug we need.
Backman's stories starts where I don't feel like continuing but by the end it's all smiles.

pickI‘m rounding up to a pick; I‘m not sure I really liked the MC, but I did appreciate the twist and liked the message I felt the author was giving.
Got a bingo for April #bookspinbingo with this one too!
