And I might be done with the author. But I get it that many others are big fans. Here’s my review at http://www.thecuecard.com/books/beartown-hillbilly-elegy-sun-also-star/

Me, too! I just can’t imagine where he’ll take it. Maybe revisit some of the background characters?

I have been so looking forward to reading this after all the rave reviews this year, and my library hold just came in. I’m planning to start it in the next few days–can’t wait!

Beartown was such an unexpected surprise, about so much more than hockey. Backman truly is a gifted writer. I read somewhere (???) that Beatown is actually the first in a three book series, so we’ll see how that plays out. I’ll definitely be trying the others!

I’m very curious what it will be about. It felt as if he wrapped up the major characters in Beartown pretty completely. Although I’d love to follow Amat and Benji!

You are a genius!! I was working on my Holiday Gift Guide yesterday and called it explosive…powder keg is a much more creative way to say that!

I’m so glad you loved it 🙂

I’m sure Sarah has informed you that there is a new one (maybe like a sequel?) by Backman coming out next year; I am very excited to read it. A lovely review, as always!
