Okay, I said I was gonna keep track of all the books I read this year, so here's January:

Cosmopolis -Don DeLillo (200 pages)

The book eaters -Sunyi Dean (300 pages)

Anxious People - Fredrik Backman (325 pages)

Page numbers are approximate

I'm also about 200 pages into The way of kings by Brandon Sanderson

So that's about 1000 pages this month? I wonder what my average will end up being

I can’t express to you how grateful I am that Amat and Maya never got together in Beartown. And how Maya didn’t get with anyone in the series.

Amat went through some serious growth, but we can’t forget that he witnessed Maya’s rape and allowed her to get cruicified by the residents of Beartown for it. Despite him knowing the truth- that Maya wasn’t lying- he didn’t say anything in favor of fitting in with the team. He did come out in defence of Maya later on, but the damage was already done. He chose to be silent. 

Maya forgave Amat and they became friends, but after what he did, having a romantic relationship would be off the table. Not only that, but because of Maya’s trauma from the assault, she probably wouldn’t be in the mental head space to date anybody. Even in the last installment of the series, she is getting there, but she isn’t ready to be with anyone romantically.

Not all female characters need romance subplots. Maya was a character that didn’t need a love interest, so she didn’t have one. She existed as her own character, and her plot focused on her, her familial relationships, and her friends. Some authors- mostly male- can’t comprehend that women can exist without a boyfriend, but Maya remained single the whole series. Another reminder that Fredrick Backman is a genius and one of- if not the only- man I trust to write female protagonists with grace and respect.

They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.

There should be a separate category called 'women written by Backman'

“Some of us never manage to get the chaos under control, so our lives simply carry on, the world spinning through space at two million miles an hour while we bounce about on its surface like so many lost socks. Our hearts are bars of soap that we keep losing hold of; the moment we relax, they drift off and fall in love and get broken, all in the wink of an eye. We’re not in control.”

— Anxious People, by Fredrik Backman

“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”

Gente Ansiosa- Fredrik Backman (+16 anos)

Esse não é um livro de mistério.

Sempre vi muita gente falando sobre esse livro, mas nunca me aprofundei o suficiente para saber se bem ou mal. No início desse ano vi a adaptação do mesmo autor para o cinema e fiquei curiosa com sua escrita, então ganhei esse livro de aniversário. E ainda bem que dei uma chance para ele.

Quem imaginaria que uma visita a um apartamento na antevéspera do ano novo poderia se tornar uma situação perigosa de revéns? Pois é. Um Assaltante de Banco que tem seus planos frustrados acaba fugindo do banco e indo até o apartamento que recebia a visita de um grupo diverso. É claro que a polícia chega e conhecemos uma dupla de policiais pai e filho que estão no caso. Então temos acesso aos depoimentos de cada uma das pessoas que estava no apartamento, cada uma mais detestável e prolixa que a outra, mas prometo que há um motivo para isso.

Conforme o passar do livro, vamos conhecendo mais as pessoas que foram até ali naquele dia ver aquele apartamento, os policiais e o Assaltante de Banco. O que me deixou meio sem saída a não ser criar uma forte empatia para com todos eles.

Sim, é um livro sobre idiotas egoístas que só se importam com suas próprias questões, mas também é um livro sobre empatia e conexão.

Devo contar a vocês que chorei por boa parte da leitura, mas adoraria relê-lo como se fosse a primeira vez. Porque nem sei o que estava esperando, mas fui positivamente surpreendida.

Agora estou louca para ler mais livros do autor, achei sua escrita diferente e cativante, me deixou querendo mais.

Hi✨ I was wondering if you’ve ever read Anxious People by Fredrik Backman? It’s my favorite book but I haven’t met anyone else that has read it

Hi! I haven't—I've only read A Man Called Ove by that author. I'll look into adding this one to my list!

Meanwhile, though, hello to all my followers! Has anyone else read this novel?
