Sometimes it isn’t easy to write a review of a novel that is always one of the first to come to mind when someone asks what is my favorite book of all-time favorite. But since this is my 300th blog post (already?), I thought the time was due to write about Joseph Heller’s iconic novel, Catch-22.

Once again, Fredrik Backman has a new novel, and this one is a sequel to last year’s “Beartown.” The last time Backman made a sequel, the second story took us away from of the first novel’s location. This time, he’s decided to stay put. Find out if this new novel will also be deserving of a spot on my “best of” books this year, in my review here.

There, one sister must come to terms with her past, but the other continues to be tortured by it, with tragic results. You can read my review of Chisvin’s debut novel on my blog here.

Inspiration can come from practically anywhere. Maggie O’Farrell’s latest book is a memoir where she describes the 17 near-death experiences she had throughout her life. While that sounds like it could be scary or even distasteful, I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. Find out what you’ll get if you read this book in my latest review on my blog now.
