The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Well, I finally finished it!  I feel like I've been reading this book forever - not because it was extremely long or boring (because it wasn't boring) but because school interfered with my reading more than I had anticipated!

So, without further ado - here are my thoughts on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I actually enjoyed this book.  Don't get me wrong, it was long - but it was still worth the read.

I read this book on my Kobo, which kept me updated on how much of it I had read (25% or whatever), so I always had a general idea of how much more I had to read.

Without giving too much away, because I hate when people do that, I was really surprised at one particular point, and it seemed like that should be the end - but it wasn't.  The actual end left me feeling a little disappointed.

Would I read this book again?  Probably not - I rarely re-read anything.  It's just not in my nature.  Am I planning on reading the next two books in this trilogy?  The jury's still out on that one.  Perhaps not right away, but I may put them on my want to read list sooner or later.

Up next on my Kobo is "The Goddess of Fried Okra" but I think I may swing by the library and hit up one of my quick 'cozy mysteries' first!

Friday Book Blog Hops

It's Friday which means Book Blogger Hops

The first one I participated in for the first time last week on my WordPress Blog (which is semi gone now). It's hosted by Crazy-For-Books.

Question for this week: What are you reading now and why are you reading it?

I'm reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (on my Kobo) because I'm a follower and I heard so many good things about it that I had to check it out for myself.  I'm actually enjoying it, I just wish I had more free time to read it.

The second hop is hosted by Parajunkee and this is my first week participating in this one!

Question: What is the book you are currently 'pushing'?

Actually anything by Steve Berry.  I love, love, love him.  But if I had to pick just one of his books to actually push it would be The Romanov Prophecy - because Russian History fascinates me and because it's a 'stand alone' book.
