I agree. I couldn't understand how Ivy got to be so important. Well, apart from the fact that she is the first E-Psy we see after Sascha. I'm wondering what the next subplot is. But maybe the series end is near..

THis week I read:


Next up:

I saw you were reading this. There were a lot of mixed reviews on the actual book, so in the end I didn't get the audio... Was it fun? or just a great catch up in history?

I loved the Millenium Trilogy Melissa! The first book has the slowest start with all the financial mumbo-gumbo, but don't give up.

Starting

I just finished - it was a really good fantasy book. I was completely sucked in - so much so that I picked up the next book in the series. But each instalment takes 3-5 years (like GRRM) and the latest in the series has received such poor reviews that I'm hesitating whether to continue the series. (The last book is 700++ pages and lot of them have sworn off the series) :( :(

It was fun, altho it seemed rather pointless at first. Then I found myself enjoying the antics of the co-conspirators in the present and the trips through the past and how the main character got involved in so many historical events (that's what I meant by the imagination of the author). I was entranced by the title and got it as a Daily Deal.

I don't mind the financial stuff, I'm accountant to my very core ;) I am, however, going insane waiting to see the connection between Mikael and Lisbeth. I'm enjoying it, though!

*Edit* I just hit 44% and I see a glimpse of a connection being established. Why.So.Many.Words.In.This.Book.

I loved that book, but have not continued the series yet. I think it is the huge page count that has held me back, even though I remember this first one was actually a fast read because I was so in love with the story. I didn't know the latest was a fan disappointment. :(

Finished Soul Song...meh...not sure I will continue with the Dirk & Steele books.

Just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...really liked it and am eager to start the next one in the trilogy, but I am on to other challenge books first...

Starting Top Secret Twenty-One...can't seem to give up reading these...I do love Lula so if nothing else, it will be a fast and funny read ;)

(I am STILL working on In the Blood...I guess you could say I am savoring this one since I have been reading it for almost a month...I love it, but I keep putting it down to read challenge books)
