Thank you Daphne! Your book recommendations are always so thoughtful, and I’ve found several books I love because of you. You are one of the few people I feel I can really trust to give recommendations!

I have just finished reading “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman. It was a little slow for me to start, but I totally loved this book. People have asked me what it is about and all I can say is, “Life”. To say anything else is to give away what you need to discover on your own by reading it.

In reply to Lost In Space. I usually do kindle for fiction and hard cover for non-fiction. I like to be able to flip back and forth (and consult the index) in nonfiction books and I find that too troublesome with the Kindle. But I LOVE it for fiction!

In reply to Lost In Space. I know. Her book is amazing. For anyone else who wants to read it the full title is: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I mentioned it in my last 2015 column about books (hot linked in the column above.)

I wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for mentioning on you last list about Marie Kondo. After I read about it I emptied out our closest and refolded everything. My wife thought I was nuts till she saw the results. Jaw dropping to the floor kind of shock. We went from overfollowing to have empty drawers!!! Now when people come over I proudly show off our closests!!!
