Story time

Wow, it's been months since I talked about books. That's super uncool. I know I won't remember all I've read during that time, but I will talk about the ones I remember, which are probably the most important anyway.

Things I've learned about myself by actually keeping track of what I've been reading is I tend to gravitate more towards fantasy series and I'm not ashamed to admit I read some books that are more teen oriented. I guess I enjoy the quick easy reads. I also LOVE series type novels where I can finish a book, but look forward to seeing where the author takes it in the next one. I'd also like to note that I have yet to see a movie that is better than the book. People who don't read are missing out on so much, it's sad.

Ok, on with the list. Sheesh I'm a rambler this evening.

My sister loaned me some books in November and I was finally able to read the Millennium Trilogy that has been on my list for more than a year. I went through this series very quickly and was not disappointed at all. It is a bit extreme and vulgar at times, but it's a very intense read, in a good way.

--The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson
--The Girl who Played with Fire, Steig Larsson
--The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Steig Larsson
