I didn’t love Ove.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

by Leave a Comment

She often said that “all roads lead to something that you were always predestined to do.” And for her, perhaps, it was something. But for Ove it was someone. Ove likes facts. He likes routine. And he doesn’t like change. So when the new neighbors run over his mailbox, it sends his world into upheaval. Suddenly a man who wanted nothing more than to grieve the loss of his wife is solving the neighborhoods problems: teaching the neighbor’s wife how to drive, running people to […]

Isn't It Bromantic? by Lyssa Kay Adams

by Leave a Comment

Three things in life terrified Vlad. A flare up without a bathroom in sight. Running over an animal with his car. And this.

Nashville hockey player, Vlad Konnikov has been a loyal member of the Bromance Book Club since day one and he may be the most hopeless romantic of them all. But he’s been keeping […]

Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

“I understand that you’ve lost something— a lot of things— but you’re still the same person. I know, because I loved you then, and I love you now, and I know that’s not enough to make you happy— to make anyone happy— but you’re the same person, Simon. You’re still you.” ”It’s enough,” he finally grumbles. ”What is,” I whisper. ”The fact that you love me. It does make me happy.” The group is back from their wild adventure in America and they are all […]

The stench is right, this book STINKS!

The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey

by Leave a Comment

“The jungle grew darker and more mysterious. Bugs seemed buggier, and the trees almost seemed alive. The sun was like a blazing ball of fire in the sky. Strange little birds hovered over the flowers, stabbing them with their long, pointed beaks. Sinister rock formations appeared on shore and even reached up out of the water. I guess that’s where Hawaii got its famous nickname, “Land of a Thousand Nightmares.”  The narrator is cajoled by his friend Don into taking a trip to Hawaii. While […]
