Today it‘s 80 years since Pippi Longstocking was first published.
Here‘s to the world‘s strongest girl 🎉🎉🎉
I grew up watching the Swedish TV series from the 60s and read the first book just a few years ago

I am loving this series so much! I think I liked this one better than the first one, which I didn't think possible. Can't wait for the final book!
I usually do not read books in a series, but being that there is a hockey team theme involved in these, I was immediately intrigued!!
Already had Beartown from my parents and today kicked off a new week on a high note completing the set with the second and third book!!
If I read these and the Empyrean series before the end of the year, I will have completed my first two series of books ever at almost 35 years old!!
#Bibliophile Day 17: This #LongTitle is still waiting for me to get back to it. Been distracted by #ToB25, my EmiratesLitFoundation Book Club Titles that led me to Sabaa Tahir‘s Ember in the Ashes quartet - where I am now in Book 3. Then we move into #CampLitsy25. Backman, I don‘t know when I can return to you, honestly, but will get there soon.
pickI was scared to read this because I loved Beartown so much. I should have trusted Backman's skill. His depiction of the building tension between Beartown & the neighboring Hed, paired with the complicated internal struggle Benji feels, frustration of Maya's younger brother Leo, & so much more is just breathtaking. It brought me to tears in the final pages as the climax led us to a forest road and limitless grief. It is just beautiful.
Hive mind: a friend who‘s having a hard time asked me to suggest some “light reading” (audiobook) for her time away. I know not this “light reading” of which she speaks. Any suggestions? Thanks!
