A Man Called Ove: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

pick

Read (Audible) this in 2016 - What an absolute joy of a book! Funny and touching.

I need another Backman recommendation- what else is good?

#amancalledove #literaryfiction #contemporaryliterature #Backman #Ove

BarefootBurk My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry. It's so good. 6y

MallenNC Bear town is amazing but it is a much heavier topic than Ove. 6y

ErikasMindfulShelf My favorite is

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (Bound for Schools & Libraries)

MelanieMefford I‘ve read all his books and Ove and Beartown were my favorites 6y

JacqMac Beartown was my favorite, too. 6y

carrceli If you are listening to them then my grandmother asked Me To Tell You She's sorry and Britt Marrie in that order the narrator's were awesome. Beartown was good too but I read that one myself 6y

Christine11 The Scandal is fantastic (called Beartown in the US) 😊❤️ 6y

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine | Gail Honeyman

I read and loved both of these #similarbooks! Both of the main characters, #Ove and #EleanorOliphant are particular, quirky, sarcastic, and ultimately undeniably lovable. At the outset of these books I was annoyed with them, by the middle I understood them, and in the end I didn‘t want their stories to be over. So if you liked #AManCalledOve, I recommend you read #EleanorOliphantIsCompletelyFine! 📚 #ReadingResolutions #mustread 📖 #JPBookReview

APLitlife Read Ove and I am currently reading Eleanor! 6y

Booksnchill And then after those I recommend ⤵️

Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 Years Old

Jess7 Stacked that one then - thanks @Booksnchill - you should do a #readingresolutions post with that recommendation as #similarbooks! I like it! 6y

MissAimz_55 I have Eleanor oliphant on the way to me!!! 6y

MelissaSue81 Thanks for the Rec! Ove is my all time favorite book and Eleanor is on my tbr list. Moving it to the top now! 6y

JamieArc I completely agree with you @Jess7 ! I read Eleanor not too long after Ove, and reading Eleanor had me thinking about Ove a lot. Both books I still think about and love, and wish I could read for a first time. 6y

Bloomingjen I recommend Britt Marie was Here if you like those 2.

Britt-Marie Was Here

Chelleo How do you define Comfort Reads? 6y

Jess7 @Chelleo - personally I would define it as anything that gives me all the feels - makes me feel good (even if it tears me apart first 😂) but I think it should be personal to you! Show me books that bring you comfort in whatever way makes sense to you. I think @EllanaRose started this tag today, but that‘s my two cents. 🤗🤗 6y
