A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is this week’s book recommendation.
Genre: Novel
Why should you pick it up?
This is one of those books that once you start reading you just cannot stop till you have reached the end. And once that last page has been turned, you won’t be able to get this book out of your mind for long. The story, as the names suggest, is about this widower called Ove who in the face if it will seem to you like a disgruntled old man. But as you get to know him, you’ll realize he’s just the most adorable old man ever. Truth be told, I had fallen in love with this character while reading and he now sits right next to Atticus in terms of some of my favorite fictional characters.
Read this before Tom Hanks brings this to life on the big screen. You’ll not regret it. I stake my reputation as a reader on this. Yes, I do.

OH this really sounds like a Tom Hanks movie! Is he already cast in it? Or is it just an inevitable step? Do you ever wonder how you’ll get through everything and survive? https://shirleycorder.com/thankful-thursday-week-12/

This is on my list! I have heard so much about this book that I can’t wait to read. Have you read ‘The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared’ by Jonas Jonasson? another good read that one is 🙂

This is one of my favourite books. Loved it. I thought there is already a movie adaptation of it. Yet to see it though.
Oh, inspired by all the fabulous reviews, I bought this book. But, I found it boring. It may sound odd, but I gave up after 119 pages. 🙁

I loved it completely. It hooked from the very first chapter when he goes to buy that iPad. And it didn’t let me down all through. Great recommendation Naba.
