I read Beartown before I started blogging, so I don’t have a full blog review for linking ….I’ll include a brief review of it below and then link to my Us Against You blog review. They are a series and Us Against You cannot be read as a stand-alone. This week’s Throw Back Thursday is a bit different because I’m throwing back to TWO books: Beartown and Us Against You. On Thursdays, I’ll be re-sharing a few of these great reads, and today I’m sharing my reviews of Beartown and Us Against You by Fredrik Backman, atmospheric stories of sports, small towns, and community… This year as part of Blog Audit Challenge 2020 I’m going back to update older review posts.
