<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">My favorite book of all time is "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman. The book I'm talking about today, Anxious People, is the 2nd book I've read by the same author. Oh my gosh. I loved it! 💕</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All the characters, their individual stories, how the lives of the characters overlapped with other characters... all pieced together bit by bit and lots of "ohhhhh" moments.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>So good. Read it. You won't regret it.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Here we are again!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started the ebook version on Feb 7 and quickly decided I needed the Audiobook instead. LOL I put a hold on it, and it was available to me to re-start on Feb 23.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Good book. Good idea for a story. I loved all the different character stories going on at the same time and "visiting each one to catch up" in-between all the other character stories going on. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I could have done without some of the content. But I blame that on our culture these days.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I also didn't like all the people that died at the end. Some of the characters had happy or happy-ish endings, but some were killed off. I suppose I'm just the kind of person that loves a good ending, happy ending, everything is gonna be alright ending..... but again, they can't all be like that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Still, really good book. Great idea for a story. Would love to read more as in a series for this... maybe with more happy tales. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">This book was read in about an hour. It's a freebie from the Author and sadly is not yet on Goodreads so I can count is there as one of my books read toward my goal. :(<br /><br />It is a cute book. I enjoyed "hearing" the different animal voices in the eBook. Cute story. Loved the cat attitude. It was very simple to read, almost like a children's book. But it was cute, and funny, and only took an hour, so not a waste of my time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you just want something to read without a lot of deep thought, here ya go. Or maybe you want an hour of thinking about something other than all the things you should be doing instead of reading. This will be a good choice for you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Well, this was a fun book. I laughed and enjoyed it. Definitely something different and fun for a change. I also really enjoyed how the author would pause the story to give us advice and suggestions. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Things like:</div><div style="text-align: center;">*If you are in a book club, you may want to have a discussion about this part.</div><div style="text-align: center;">*In case you missed it, this could be foreshadowing. Okay. It is. It's foreshadowing. You may want to remember that later when it comes up again.</div><div style="text-align: center;">LOL</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">I enjoyed this book. I wanted the story to move faster, but I enjoyed all the characters and the idea of the storyline. They did repeat a certain part of the book many times which seemed redundant. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Loved the dog in the story. I'm telling you right now, if there is a dog in any book that gets hurt in any way, I'll stop reading it. I love murder mysteries to see how they figure out who did it, but you start hurting dogs - I'm outta here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The doggie in this book.... love him!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Another novella. I thought I'd try this short story type of book again while I wait on my 7 different Library holds to come available. I just like to read. It feels weird to not be reading something everyday.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This book was a waste of my time. I mean it kept me reading because I did not want a DNF (Did Not Finish) this year. Blah. Just Blah.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The sisters were best buds growing up, then estranged for decades, and then **SNAP** all of a sudden (like between one sentence and the next), they are besties again. I wasn't convinced... just didn't seems likely with that turnaround. Whatever. Are there any good novellas out there? Am I just picking the wrong ones? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">This eBook was borrowed from the library for 21 days. However, once I started reading it, I decided it would be so much better as an audiobook. LOL So for now this book is on hold until it's my turn on the wait-list for the audiobook.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll be back with a review whenever that happens. Right now the library is estimating a 9 week wait! </div><div style="text-align: center;">But I know if I skipped #7 with my posts right now, you may be wondering why. Now you know. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Loved this book! So many twists I didn't expect. It was fun for me to try to figure out who did it, and keep changing my mind as more information was revealed. That's what makes a great mystery: the every changing possibility of who did it sort of thing. Loved the ending. Totally unexpected.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">The only reason I gave this book 3 stars and not more, was because of the subject matter. I don't like hearing about this kind of thing. But it was a good book. And if you like this kind of topic, you'll probably love this book. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>For this book in my journal I wrote:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">"This was a creepy book. Not scary, just sickening how it turned out."</div>
