I loved the Bear Town Trilogy & Anxious People, but I've never picked up anything else fro him 🤷🏻♂ Required Reading!?! I'll put the audiobook 🎧 on hold, because I already have too many physical and kindle books to read with my eyeballs 👀 I'll let you know when I've finished my assignment and my thoughts 😉 Oh I have thoughts on annotating... I'm not in school trying to analyze a book so there's NO REASON for me to annotate! I think it's kind of silly when these bookish content creators proudly hold up their books with a 1000 tabs sticking out of it! I think one of these big Booktube/Booktok/Bookstagram girlies started this trend and everyone decided that was the CUTE BOOKISH thing to do 🤦🏻♂ Just read and enjoy the book... Now I will stipulate that occasionally there's A quote or two that I think is worthy of remembering and if it's on my Kindle I'll highlight it... If it's in a physical book, I might stick a tab or sticky note to remind me... So yeah, I think annotating is OUT OF CONTROL 😜 Ok... I'm done being a pain in the butt 😏 Great VLOG btw 🫶
I agree with you about the annotating to an extent. Obviously to each their own and if someone wants to annotate the heq out of their book then good for them but I'm not interested to analyzing every book I'm reading. I liked highlighting quotes that I really like upon a reread though just so that when I reread it again I can be reminded of what I loved the last time I read it. Don't think I would ever annotate on a first read through of a book though. The act of annotating or highlighting really halts the pacing when reading. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on A Man Called Ove!
I haven't read anything by Fredrik Backman yet but he's been on my TBR forever! I'll move him up the list though.
definitely read some Fredrik Backman!! He's one of my favourite authors 🤍
