Also, I'm a big fan of Bachman. But I get it that can be hard to read at times. A Man Called Ove is being made into a movie with Tom Hanks and called A Man Called Otto - for the English audience. Also, I love "My Grandmother wants me to tell you she's sorry" by Bachman.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444931184663564380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323519773247909675.post-5426744886589388252022-12-27T23:20:59.823+01:002022-12-27T23:20:59.823+01:00*everything sad…*everything sad…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323519773247909675.post-90115403823985660392022-12-27T23:20:32.616+01:002022-12-27T23:20:32.616+01:00So fun to read this list!

I have read other “top ten reads” lists by social media influencers and was so disappointed (shocked, horrified, sad) at the low caliber of content, language, themes represented. I look forward to exploring some of these titles.

I met him a few times in our time all growing up together in Smyrna and he and your grandmother were very dear people. Your words here in this blog were such a great reflection of the love and acceptance he gave you. It is evident in these words. So sorry for your loss but so glad you got to experience his love and care!
