I got Redemptor literally yesterday, planning to read it soon too!!! I haven't read Anxious People, but I adore Backman's character work and writing - though some criticise his messages being "too in your face" or handhold-y, etc. (Personally, I don't see it that way, but it's something I have seen people say.) Looks like a wonderful autumn TBR, hope you enjoy the books :)
I really enjoyed reading along with the audiobook for Anxious People because it has such Characters it was fun to hear them acted out! Would highly recommend
Not the cute and cozy fit for this video, we love to see it! Today was the first day of school and I had a panic attack...so let's just say this was a well-timed video. Thanks for this, love ya.
Your autumn will be amazing with all those books! Why is the cover of "Redemptor" so awesome? XD Also Fredrik Backman's books are so good but boy do they hit you in the feels. I hope you'll enjoy "Anxious People".
I really liked Anxious People, but I think some of his earlier books are a better introduction if you're new to the author. He has got a lot of gems in his backlist, good luck Joel
@@sakinaalia1067 I think it depends on what you find yourself drawn to. If you like single pov stories, A man called Ove is a stellar starting point, while if you like following multiple characters and storylines, I'd suggest Beartown. Best of luck☺️
For Anxious People I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the audiobook because the narrator is GREAT! She does all these different voices for each character and it really does hook you and makes you feel everything! I read this in July, but I wasn’t into it the first few chapters, until I switched to the audiobook and it was a game changer for me. Made the whole experience 10000 times better.
Hi, love your channel. I wanted to know if the Late Night Club is ever going to make a review about "Call Me By Your Name" by Andre Aciman. Keep up the great work. :)
Smiling throughout and thinking "is that also on my shelf...virtual luvvy yep... and on my... yep again physical shelf too", obviously need to get back to leisure ready.
I loved Anxious People! It made me cry both sad and happy tears. The characters are very relatable and lovable, plus the mental health rep is great (imo ofc). This book made Backman my favorite author.
happy autumn! your reaction to The Duke Who Didn’t was so relatable, it made me laugh. 💗💜💙 i can’t wait for all of the spooky and atmospheric reads in the coming months!!
Loved Redemptor! In the same boat regarding Jade Legacy. I will try to reread the first two books, but who knows. Definitely intrigued by Black Joy and Bestiary.
Ok. Look. I am not rich. I'm just a librarian. You need to stop make me want to read all of these books! Now I need them in my life, and I can't read them all :'( (But please, keep going, because I love the way you talk about books)
I LOVED anxious people. That synopsis is fair…but also not enough for how deep the book is. Definitely a character study, so if that’s not your thing, you may not enjoy it. The prose is beautiful, definitely prose over plot in this one. I have loved everything I’ve read by Backman, but this may be my favorite!
Cameron Battle sounds fantastic, more Black boys in Middle Grade please. Also really looking forward to Redemptor. I do wish there was a Dutch version of Black Joy, feels like something I and others really need.
I have loved every Fredrik Backman I have read, however I had to listen to them as I felt the text itself was dense. I hope you like Anxious People and that you decide to pick up some of his other books. You could include it in a translated book video.
the duke who didn't is a fun time and they are both very honest with each other which i appreciated, so i'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it! how to kill your family, cameron battle and the hidden kingdoms and the upper world sound so good! and agh im ready and not ready for jade legacy! :D happy reading!
i absolutely LOVE backman’s backlist, especially beartown, and i’ve been so scared to read anxious people because of the incredibly mixed reviews… i don’t know if that’s his best work to start off with, but i hope you enjoy it! and even if you don’t, or it ends up just being ok, please please give his other books a shot, he’s such a good writer. (also hope you like exciting times! i’ve heard good things)
I haven’t read middle grade since I was a teenager, but that Cameron battles book has a beautiful cover and maybe I’ll dip into some middle grade again for that book
That Bestiary cover is S T U N N I N G. And I DNFed Exciting Times after no more than 30 pages lol. Hope you have a better time with it than I did. I couldn't stand the narrator; she was so full of herself in a pedantic way that grated on me, eek.
