Britt-Marie is socially awkward and she can be annoying as she hates a mess. She has a great imagination, big dreams and a warm heart. Backman's characters are very rich. I loved Ove and Britt-Marie is up there too. This book made me laugh out loud. She has lots of wisdom and I loved all the many uses for baking soda. I look forward to reading more of Backman's books as he is truly an excellent writer. Highly recommended!

rwmg It's amazing how UNlikable she is in My Grandmother, yet becomes so likable as we get to know her here 5y
EadieB @rwmg I haven‘t read My Grandmother. I didn‘t realize that I should have read that one first. 5y

#frderikbackman shows a clear understanding of people‘s emotive struggles and triumphs in all his writings. In this book, he was able to turn around a character from #mygrandmotheraskedmetotellyoushessorry that I disliked immensely into someone to rally for. Peppered with Backman‘s trademark humor and wisdom, #brittmariewashere is a beautiful story about courage, self-worth, living, and passion. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

starlight97 Is it better than My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry? 6y
Blooferlady 🤔 I‘m having a tough time deciding, because they have completely different themes. One is about loss and acceptance of it while growing up, while the other is about self-worth and discovering independence. Perhaps I‘ll say neither, because out of all of Backman‘s works Ove is still my favorite carmudgeon. 😁 All three books are laugh-out-loud funny though. 😆 (edited) 6y

What could be better than a Saturday spent reading & relaxing? I love these book inspired wax melts from @canterburyroadco for setting the mood. They smell amazing! Do you have any "rituals" for creating a relaxing reading atmosphere? I'd love to know! ??☕

I was a little sad today coming home from a great vacation, but when I picked up my mail from my neighbor I had the most amazing surprise!!!! The amazing and thoughtful @Jess7 sent me #bookmail! I am so excited to read this! I absolutely loved the two other books I've read by Fredrick Backman! Thank you so much @Jess7 this could not have come at a more perfect time to brighten my day when I needed it!!

Jess7 You're welcome! I hope you had a nice vacation! I saw #BrittMarieWasHere on your #TBR list a couple weeks ago so I was hoping you didn't already own it. It's on my #TBR list too, so let me know if it's good! 🤗 7y
EllieDottie @jess7 I do not own it (well now I do 🤗) But I do own and absolutely loved A man called Ove and And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer, so I'm so excited to read this! And I will let you know how it is once I finish! 7y
SilversReviews You will love Britt Marie. Such a quirky, fun character. 7y

My book club selection for this month is The Shack. It's not a book I would have chosen on my own, but I know other people love it. I'm trying to keep an open mind. I saw the trailer for the movie adaptation, recently...wasn't feeling that either. #tbr #februaryreads #theshack #brittmariewashere #thebigshort #openmindopenheart #carebearstare

"A few moments. A human being, any human being at all has so perishingly few chances to stay right there, to let go of time and fall into the moment. And to love someone without measure. Explode with passion." #quoteoftheday #bookworm #brittmariewashere #fredrikbackman
