Just received my ARC of the upcoming Dean Koontz novel (due out in November). I'll probably read it next.
How did you get the book? Are you doing reviews?

Just finished Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, which was rather good and now starting The Book Thief. Wonder if it is as good as people say, only 60 or so pages in, but finding it quite quirky and charming so far
Yes!How did you get the book? Are you doing reviews?
Is this the show where the vicar is a randy little devil with women falling all over him?I finished A Stir of Echoes and loved it. Immediately rewatched the movie--it's very different from the book, but I like it as well.
I've been watching Grantchester, a series about a British vicar and copper who solve murders together, based upon a book series by James Runcie. James Norton plays the vicar, and is such a wonderful actor and so beautiful to gaze upon. After finishing season two last night, I ordered the first of the books for my Kindle, and will read this next.
Yes! The show is very character-driven and wonderfully acted. I hope the books are as good.Is this the show where the vicar is a randy little devil with women falling all over him?
I know he wrote A Man Called Ove and I loved that movie. I haven't read any of his books yet. Please share your thoughts here when you finish.Kurben or anyone else -- I just purchased a book by Fredrik Backman -- my grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry.
Totally intrigued me. Have you read it, know other works by the author, familiar with his work?
I really want to like it. I haven't been able to get myself reading in months!
My apologies if this has been discussed.
Have not read it. He got a lot of praise for his first novel, A Man Called Ove. After that he has written the one you mentioned and one called Britt-Marie Was Here and also a novella named And Every Day The Way Home Gets Longer And Longer. I must admit i havent read any of his books. Just hasn't happened. Tell me what you think, will you? He is known for his first one primarily. Seen as an up and coming author. Wrote his first in 2012 so he is rather new.Kurben or anyone else -- I just purchased a book by Fredrik Backman -- my grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry.

Backman is a fantastic author but unfortunately I had trouble getting into that particular book.Kurben or anyone else -- I just purchased a book by Fredrik Backman -- my grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry.

Uh oh. I'm one chapter in, curious where it is going to go so will soldier on.Backman is a fantastic author but unfortunately I had trouble getting into that particular book.
I haven't yet read Britt-Marie (who is a character is My Grandmother...) but have read his other works--all 5 stars from me! I would give Grandmother 3 stars.
I found it got better as it went on. It was just... really confusing? Some parts left me cold.Uh oh. I'm one chapter in, curious where it is going to go so will soldier on.
