Is that the one by Fredrik Backman? Yes, I just checked. Interesting that the copy you have has a different translation of the title than it does in the US and Canada! I wonder why? Here it's My Grandmother Told Me to Tell You She's Sorry.

Once the thread is posted in book Chat, make sure reply to the event or put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
As for the last read-a-thon, better to keep track of all numbers, we change the first post we write in the discussion, so each of us has only one and not 2000 as before!!!!
*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day.
**For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total.Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time.
If you respond 'Yes” to the event invitation , please don't forget to list totals in September Read-a-thon thread in Bookchat. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.
