Thursday


It's here! It's here! THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST by Steig Larsson is here! And I'm reading it! This is the third and last book in the Millenium Trilogy. Here's a description:

Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

This book was just published in the UK and has 576 pages. LOVE this trilogy: a kick-ass heroine and a multi-layered plot. Must be read in order or nothing will make sense. I was going to post a couple reviews but I don't want any spoilers to mess up a reader's experience if you've not read this author yet. Sadly, this is the last book because he died before they were published.


Let's see in the past couple days I've renewed by driver's license that was set to expire next month (OMG horrible horrible photo), interviewed for a second job today and a third one has a phone call tomorrow and probably face-to-face next week. It has snowed yesterday but not stayed on the ground and supposed to again tonight/tomorrow and very cold but better over the weekend.


Suvivor on tv tonight but I think otherwise I will hunker down with the book.


Much love,

Glad to hear of satisfaction. I've been afraid of the story just **ending** and no chance of continuing. Phew! It's snowing today and cold today and supposed to be cold tomorrow -- perfect reading weather.
