❓Do you like to highlight some quotes and passages in the books you read? Do you annotate books? I'm not really good at making notes and it's not super convenient on Kindle, but I like to highlight some paragraphs to re-read later. And I noticed that I do it really often while reading Backman's books. I'm 100% sure that his books are the most highlighted books in my library. So, I decided to collect some of his quotes for you in the carousel. At first, I wanted to share quotes from all Backman's books, but there are too many great moments in his works. So today I only prepared quotes from the Beartown series. It's also a great opportunity to use the old photos I made in winter a year ago. Feel free to share and use these pictures with quotes if you want.🤍 #book #books #bookstagram #bookquotes #quotes #fredrikbackman #fredrikbackmanbooks #fredrikbackmanquotes #beartown #beartownquotes #usagainstyou #bookblog (at Beartown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzNEQ0I4JE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Hate can be a deeply stimulating emotion. The world becomes easier to understand and much less terrifying if you divide everything and everyone into friends and enemies, we and they, good and evil. The easiest way to unite a group isn't through love, because love is hard, It makes demands. Hate is simple.” . Fredrik Backman simply has a way with words that lets them resonate deep within you. It’s been half a year, but I still think about Beartown and it’s poignancy. I’m definitely watching the miniseries when it comes out this year! #bookstagram #books #beartown #usagainstyou #björnstad #fredrikbackman https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4BxU2nn6z/?igshid=1fpneu61jzypw

Book #39 of 2019 Us Against You - Fredrik Backman 'He's twelve years old, and this summer he learns that people will always choose a simple lie over a complicated truth, because the lie has one unbeatable advantage: the truth always has to stick to what has happened, whereas the lie just has to be easy to believe.' The sequel to Beartown, this book is heart-breakingly good. In a town that barely sees daylight and spends most of the year in winter, the residents of Beartown live for ice hockey. But when the lines between real life and hockey become blurred things change this community forever. Do you believe the lie because it's easier? Or the truth even if it will change everything?
