Save this list and find it anytime by adding it to your Library Collections. Real funny estateEven though I don’t live in a co-op, I was thoroughly entertained by Lucas, the main character, and his building drama. So many incidents mirror what I’ve heard from friends living in a co-op. Although I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of the problem being a frying pan.

I didn’t buy/receive as many books in November as I did in October, but with Christmas coming up I’m trying to be a little more reserved. Physical Book Haul:1 – Everything Happens For A Reason: My Life In Rugby by Danny CareDanny Care has been one of my favourite rugby players for well over a decade, so of course I pre-ordered his book, Everything Happens For A Reason: My Life In Rugby.

Hello,I was thrilled by all the excitement about and excellent comments on yesterday’s installment of the list (if you missed it, you can see slots #100 - 81 and read about the methodology here). Today I’m sharing slots #61 – 80 on my crowdsourced “Best Books of the 21st Century” list. But before we get into it, let’s talk about the word “best.”Oxford Languages defines best as “of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality.” Hmmm…. Not very helpful in this context.
