I love how she tackles the idea that representation is not authorship and how just because you are represented in literature doesn’t mean you have any sort of power to create it. I feel like even a century later this is more relevant than ever.

I truly loved The bright years so I am beyond excited for this and I have high expectations that so far has not been let down at allll

Never would it have occurred to me that a book about a grandma’s life would be THIS PACKED with drama

I get the hype

If I didn’t have to wake up in the morning I would have sat down and finished this bec I genuinely hate that I have to put it down now

It is interesting enough to keep me going and having me eager to read it and finish it but I don’t know how I feel about it yet

“What’s the difference between an excuse and a reason?”

And I thought this couldn’t get any sadder

“There are two kinds of grief at a wake: grieving the loss of what was and grieving the loss of what wasn’t.”

I dunno why I do this to myself like my heart is aching and I can tell it is going to get so so so much worse

The book is finally picking up and even though I think it was made for a younger audience in mind I still feel both intrigued and touched by it

I am loving this story for what it is now and it is truly amazing

So far this reads more like a romance novel than a historical one and I don’t know how I feel about that

I feel like there should be a genre of books that are sooo wattpadish but i mean it as the highest compliment.

I am soooo happy but so sad at the same time, i love Roz and Vin so so much

That was so heartbreaking :(

Fredrik Backman has this insane talent of making you care about a very random side character in few pages and have your heart ripped out by their story in even fewer ones

Cried another 3 times, this book is so heartachingly human

On page 27 and already cried 3 times, i love fredrik backman’s writing so so much

« Some, maybe most, might resist the wanting whims of empire, but all must figure out a way to survive them. And survival is not clean, does not subscribe to any one narrative. »

See I knew that person was pure evil the second I read about them and I could even guess 3 of the things they did BUT THIS TOO?? and now I am forced to read from his POV??

Everyone is soooo unlikeable yet so interesting to read about

This had deff just made it to my list of THE 3 worst second hand embarrassments i have ever experienced while reading a book

This one’s pace is FANTASTIC compared to to the first book in the series and the characters are just SOOO charming

This book is exactly why I am in love with books and literature
