I recommend this one if you don't mind a big book, this one is about 600 pages but totally worth it.

Book Review

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like the first two books in this series this one started off very slow, but then soon picked up and became a real page turner. I am not sure I like the ending but am left wondering if he had had plans on leaving it open to write another book sadly since he died right after writing these books we will never know.   I encourage everyone to give this trilogy a try.

Just Finished Reading.

The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was a slow start, once the story got going it was an interesting read and the plot took a turn I hadn't expected.

I am addicted to reading...

My name is Margo and I am addicted to reading. I have always had a love for reading and well I have to say I have it bad. For me its normal it to have a "to read" pile, so that I never run out of something to read. Though I am pretty sure that most people's "to read" piles don't consist of about 100 books! No I'm not kidding and here is the proof, the "to read" pile by my bed (they aren't all there I do have another stash in the closet lol). I am constantly adding to it as I am taking away from it so it stays pretty much like this all the time.

To help with my addiction I have discovered an amazing site Goodread.com, here I can list and keep track of all the books I have read and plan to read. Plus I can see the reviews that others have given for books that I want to read or find new books to add to the to read pile.

I read every night before bed, its my time to wind down and relax. I have found that I sleep much better when I read before sleep, and after doing some research I have learned that the best way to read is by book light. It helps your mind and body get the message that its time to start to wind down. I don't know about you, but if I don't make sure that I have relaxed before trying to get that beauty sleep my mind just races and I have a hard time falling asleep.

I am thrilled that my kids love to read just as much as I do. A trip to the book store is such a thrill to all of us. Another great site that I like to use is called Paperbackswap.com, here I can post the books that I have read and am ready to pass along and then find others that I would like to read. Its a wonderful way to get rid of some of the books you have laying around and to get some new ones to take their place.
