Day 10 #LibFaves25 Like @danthebookman.bsky.social, I’m going with MY FRIENDS by Fredrik Backman @ssedlib.bsky.social. I am awestruck by his ability to get characters so right, from curmudgeonly old Ove to now teenage Louisa. Perfection!

If you need a break from all the WWII novels, but still want wartime resiliency, try THE WOMEN by Kristin Hannah, my next pick for #LibFaves24 @kristin-hannah.bsky.social @macmillanlib.bsky.social

My first #LibFaves24 is MINISTRY OF TIME by Kaliane Bradley @kalianebradley5.bsky.social @ssedlib.bsky.social A little futuristic, a little romance, a little suspense, a little historical – a lot of fun!
