May 2018

by Fredrik Backman.

I loved A Man Called Ove and thought it would be good to try another of his books. I loved it. It is about a small town and ice hockey. That is all I want to say, it was really a good listen.

I decided to try another so I started Britt-Marie Was Here. No opinion yet.
