TUESDAY INTROS | My Grandmother Sends Her Regards & Apologises

I'm reviving my participation in the First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros linky hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea. I used to take part in this particular linky earlier on in the year, but then things got busy and my participation fizzled; but I'm back at it! The premise behind Tuesday Intros is to share the first paragraph or so of the book you're reading. I love the premise behind this linky as it's great for book recs, but you also get a feel for an author's writing style.


FIRST LINES
Every seven-year-old deserves a superhero. That's just how it is.
Anyone who doesn't agree needs their head examined.
That's what Elsa's granny says, at least.

WOULD YOU CONTINUE READING?

    I loved the Ove book, so I bought this one (with a slightly different title), and hope to read it soon. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog. Enjoy!

      I haven't read A Man Called Ove, however it is on my wishlist. I knew this was his second novel, but for some reason decided to start there! I think this premise intrigued me more.

      Yes - in the US it is titled, My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry. I don't always understand title changes!

      It's a fun read, but with some deeper elements. I haven't read a book with this sort of writing style for quite some time now!
