I finally gave in to its popularity and started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and almost put it down but then the girl with the tattoo was introduced and I got much more interested. All the financial stuff in the beginning was putting me to sleep--handled much better in Stone's Fall, I thought.

Now I am rereading The wind in the willows.

Reading a ya book called "Cyborg from Earth." I took it out from the library for my ds as a change from the fantasy books he reads -- get him some mechanical sci fi -- and decided to bring it with me as an easy read.

I am not sure what kind of longevity the series will have, because children have to grow up, but I am looking forward to more.

LOL Sandra, how about Harry Potter? Or Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys? I was wondering, as we did for Louise's books, how many murders could take place in her small town.

BTW...the author of Sweetness thanks LOUISE a whole bunch in the acknowledgments. Nice

But, there are no tummy turning moments in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle... unless you have an even more sensitive tummy than mine (highly unlikely) and she honest to goodness doesn't beat you over the head.

Im really looking forward to our group reads and my huge and huger TBR stack, growing daily. Death of a Cozy Writer arrived yesterday and of course I had to put Bottom of the Pie on hold among others.

what's a girl to do?
