Butch Femme Planet - What are you reading?

A cantankerous curmudgeon who's lost his wife and job, both of 40 some odd years and want nothing more than to end his, a horrible crippling accident on a dream vacation, a cat on the verge of its demise after nearly freezing to death, a young gay lad being turned out by his father after revealing his lifestyle, government attempted intervention to separate a wife from her husband and place him in a facility for those suffering from Alhemizers, and an ending which one might assume you'd be in tears over.. could actually be one of the most uplifting books I've read in ages!

I highly recommend A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. One of the best books I've read in some time!!!!

Today I helped Mary with the huge project of going through her books! We came across an extra used copy of this and are more than willing to send it to a good home! Please let me know if you're interested. First come first served!

I read this shortly after A Man Called Ove. I liked it, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea!

It includes some of the author's problematic issues dealing with fellow co-workers (men) who were less than welcoming and some issues of male's behavior in Hillary's campaign camp.

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.........Gabrielle Zevin

I am on page 156 and although I'm enjoying this book immensely, it's a book about books and a book seller, it's nothing like I was expecting! :glasses:

My theory has always been books are meant to be shared on sit on dusty bookshelves!
P.S. As always first come first served.

I've decided to read it! I haven't gotten to any of the Trump stuff which is fine. The beginning deals with mafia kingpins and the whole Martha Stewart episode.

I'm keeping it simple and light.... I've mostly just read posts on the boards, by member's in our community, or news articles. Mostly here, though.
