Why am I starting a book blog?




I am an avid reader. I've loved to read since I was a little girl and try to pass that love of reading to others. When I finish a book and love it, I tell everyone I know about it. Then I thought why not have a blog of all the books I read and rate them as I go. Then I can give my blog address out to everyone I know. I hope you come along for the ride. I'm sure we won't always agree on what we like but I hope maybe I can save some people time on what to read. Feel free to write comments after I blog, I would love to hear what you thought of the book. Happy reading!!!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

I heard from quite a few people how great this book once so I was very disappointed that it took me over 250 pages to finally get into it. There's A LOT of information in the beginning which of course is good to have this knowledge for later in the book. But in the beginning I kept thinking, when is it going to get better. Luckily it improved a lot. The book is about a journalist named Mikael Bloomvist (another think that took some getting use to is almost everyone is referred to by their last name) who just got done with a scandal when he's asked to look into finding out what happened to Harriet Vanger, who went missing several years ago. Lisabeth Salander eventually comes to assist him in this search. I would definitely stick with it, there were a few surprises and it definitely made up for the first 250 pages. Looking forward to seeing what will happen in the next two books, since this is the first of a three book series.
