And my library has it! All is good :)

I think I got his name from looking at your list of completed and highly rated books. He sounds like the type of writer I enjoy.

Johanne, this is the book that I started Fly The Skies with. I really liked it! (The museum with the Tollund man is featured in it.) I remember discussing it with you here on PBT.

Hahaha, I remember now you mention it :)... but that was back in January ... And I probably didn't consider it for a homegoing book, since it's in another part of Denmark, and at that time I hadn't realised the very limited amount of Copenhagen books with 5 tags.

Btw, my brother's name is Anders, like one of the main characters. It's a pretty common name (as is the surname Larsen).

I will likely read more than the one I mentioned.

I've put an audio book on hold:
The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick

And I might bring home a short/quick read from work that will fit. Just came across it this morning. I read it years ago, but found out this morning that someone I "knew" (from a cataloguing listserv and I did meet him in person once) is made a character (with a name change) in this one (this, of course, makes me want to reread):

Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast by Bill Richardson.

I wouldn't have remembered that it was about books, but it has the tag.

Okay, wow. Too late I realized that I forgot to vote this month! I remembered in Nov 22. But the one I didn't want, didn't win. I don't know what I'll read and am not on long tonight so won't be selecting a book too soon.

If anyone has read Paris by the Book by Liam Callanan and is willing to tag it "Wisconsin" ... I'd appreciate it.

It has 4 tags so far. The book starts out in Wisconsin, before it moves to Paris.

I've read it before, but I wouldn't mind re-reading it. Callanan teaches at a university in Milwaukee and makes frequent appearances at my local indie bookseller.

If anyone else is flying home to "New York" for Fly-the-skies, here are some books with the monthly tag and New York tags:

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms - kindle unlimited
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
The Book of Speculation by Erica Swyler
Also 84, Charing Cross Road - but it's too short for the challenge.

I need a book from one of the TED Talk reading lists for my Target List challenge, and I was reminded of: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. I enjoyed this book, especially his recommendation notes in each chapter.
