@pateacherI am going to have to try reading this book again. I read a few pages and realized I didn't want to read a book like this after reading Lilac Girls, which was also about mengele and his research on twins in the camp. But maybe I'll try it again. Please let us know when you're done, and what you think of it. Thanks.
@sunala Uh-oh! I have Lilac Girls on my Kindle, too Hope they aren't too similar!
oh don't worry! I'm sure they're more different than alike, as there are the other character's stories in Lilac Girls. The one in the camp was only one of them. Please please read it!!

Fredrik Backman is such a wonderful author, he just understands what it feels like to be labeled as "Different" in a world that cannot see the magic in that title, as being labed "Different" almost my entire life I just resonate with at least one character in each of his books, and I always shed more than a few tears!
I am editing this post as I just finished, OMG, I loved this book so much, I laughed, cried and cried some more, I love all of Fredrik Backman books, but this is my new favorite, it was just beautifully written, and gave me "Warm Fuzzy Feelings" from beginning to end!
@CareBears, your post!
For people who PTB or took a pass on "My Grandmother Told Me To Tell You She's Sorry", maybe try again? It's tough in the beginning but the payoff is splendid.

@LoriLori I loved it from the very beginning but I can see how some might not have liked it, but PLEASE read on it will be worth your time, it is such a beautiful story!

I finished 1st To Die. Full of laughable cliches. Maybe they get better as you go along (I will never know).
I also read A Surfeit of Lampreys, a very enjoyable mystery by Ngaio Marsh. This is one of her best, so far, and each of her books is a little different. She is really good at creating interesting characters, as well as a clever mystery.

I just obtained The Bertie Project. My library never gets these any more so I was forced to buy it (rare for me). But it's my favorite series that Alexander McCall Smith writes.
I just saw that he has a stand-alone book coming out in April, My Italian Bulldozer. I'm not as fond of his stand-alone books, but it looks interesting.

I'm reading Revelator: the Hell of Heaven and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
