I have only read one book on this list. Sometimes I think I read two as for some reason I think I read Never Let Me Go but I don’t think I actually did. Thoughts on where to start. Asking for a friend. 🥰
This list is such a nice balance of books I've read and books I just put on my TBR list. Thank you for reminding me of old favorites and alerting me to potential new ones...
That’s so cool! I’m glad his books contain some humor since they can be so emotional. My Friends is the second book I’ve read from him, but I’m eager to try others.
I will probably read The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks, because friends and books. I have Backman sitting on top of my library pile, so that's up next.
I really enjoyed Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I don't agree with all the categories in The Life Council, but if you are struggling with the making friends in adulthood, I think it can be helpful to think about what you are actually looking for — we use friend to mean so many things.
I recently read and enjoyed Love and Saffron and Frida and Kate both by Kim Fay, both stories told in letters.
In the nonfiction/memoir category, I liked Let's Take the Long Way Home and Big Friendship.

If you’re in the mood for something long, try Same As It Ever Was. If you want something short and quirky, try The Pleasure of My Company.

My pleasure! I’m happy you saw some titles that intrigue you.
Love this list.
I know your friendship has sustained me Andrea!
I still want to read My Best Friends Exorcism, and the book written Lydia of course!
❤️😊❤️
I think you’d love both of those!
Great list. I saw Fredrik Backman this week and can’t wait to start My Friends. His books are some of my favorites for their mix of humor and emotion.

I highly recommend the Beartown trilogy. So much goodness in that series.
Truly some of my favorite things about reading are friendships and found family!
Yes, absolutely! That’s one of the reasons I like book clubs so much.
