The two best books that I have read this year are A Little Life and A Man Called Ove. Very very different from each other. Last year, three of my favorites were The Nightingale, Little Bee and The Good Girl. I loved a lot more, but that's enough for now. Lisa I had a hard time with A Man Called Ove. I wanted to like the main character, but never found him to be a loveable gruff misunderstood old man. My good friend in college was from Sweden, and she was often stand-offish, and that's exactly what I thought of Ove. I also had a hard time with the Nightingale. I didn't like those characters either! LOL I am currently reading Fall of Giants, by Follett (sp)? I LOVED Pillars of the Earth, and am hoping this one is great too. I got it for $2 at the library sale, and almost put it back thinking I would just rent from the library, but a man was adament I should get it bc it was so good! LOL Here's hoping!

I am rereading the entire Oz series. Fluffy reading for sure, but I think the books are very funny. I haven't read them for a few years, and I haven't ever read them all back to back. Who is the author? My library's website shows at least 2 authors with books taking place in the land of Oz Frank L. Baum if you have a kindle you can get the entire illustrated series for 2.99, if you don't care about the illustrations you can get them free.
