9:15am kids are all in school, today is my day off,so I will enjoy some quiet time,drink some tea,read a book
It is 5:17 pm. I am commenting on this thread because I haven't in a very long time.
10:56PM I am BEAT! Had my fit test tonight and then right into the new Max circuit. It kicked my behind. The shower helped A LOT! Now I am sitting here on GR. House is quiet, gonna try and read for at least an hour since I did not get much read time in.
9:18pm ET. Just came in from gardening and the yard is looking awesome already... lots of buds and new growth.. :D
9:11pm ET. Good day at work... rare.... came home, actually cooked (i know, i know) and worked in the gardens... the yard is coming along so nicely. Had to put my iron trellis back up for my Clematis; that thing is sprouting fast! :O
2:42PM Going to be going out this evening, get some dinner and a few groceries. I love being able to go with my family. Takes away from reading, but what can I say they are worth it.
8:21PM. Helping my youngest do his homework, I know it should've been done earlier but what can I say....

Side note-- Dustin is in the process of moving:). I'm sure he will be back as s..."
Aw, thank you so much for letting everyone know, Kristen!:) How very sweet and considerate of you!!
And thank you for showing your love, everyone! I love you all, too!!
10:09pm ET. Glad that my book-brother is back :)
Mod
8:03am ET. ready to go hiking, but looks like rain... what a bummer. btw, the weatherman is on the hit list!
8:05AM Just had breakfast and honey tea. Waiting on the grand blessing to get up while I stumble around GR. Have a great day everyone!
Mod
It's 3:05 PM, and I think that my one and only book-sister is very, very sweet!!
BTW, you simply MUST get to The Girl Who Played with Fire!! You've only read the first one, right?

I will make sure to tell my kids, they don't think I'm sweet... or my neighbors...or co-workers... nor few remaining friends... hehehehhe.. :D
oh goodness, i know!! I am so behind, but it is on my list... i think by May??? I am excited to read it. I really loved the twists, turns, and the way the story was laid out. Nice storytelling by the author.
Was the girl with the dragon tattoo good? I have it, I heard it doesn't get good till after like 100 pages lolI think that's part of the series your talking about haha
It's 7:53am and I'm thinking of all the tings I need to do today.
8:25 AM. Packing a school lunch,then taking my little one to school
10.02pm time for bed! Sleep well/have a great day all :D
7:44AM Tried to lay back down this AM and just could not go back to sleep, bummer. I like little naps. LOL Will probably finish this book today. I loved it!
Mod

It is part of the series. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the first book. As for your question, it does have a slow start (roughly the first 60-100 pages,) but that didn't really bother me, actually. I found it fascinating, in fact. For me, though, I found the novel as a whole to be a bit misleading, and certainly not worthy of all they hype. I'm enjoying the 2nd installment much, MUCH more!
Thank you for asking.:)
Mod

What, your kids don't think you're sweet!? You gotta be kidding me!! Surely your husband agrees with me!
Seeing as how you enjoyed the first book, you're sure to to love the 2nd even more so, IMO! Things really pick up, becoming very intense. I also like Larsson's way of storytelling. He's good!

I love the way the second one ended and the third one started. I really should have rated that series higher.
11:21PM Visiting all my groups here on GR. Then will read a bit. Kay brought me Reached from her school library. Hehe so will start that now.
4.28 pm At work and trying to stay awake :/ Thank goodness it's Friday!
It's 3pm. Just got back from the bank.
Its 8:55 and I am working OT on my Friday off! Looks like another busy day:).

my kids laugh when i tell them that people like me or think i am sweet... i mean, they are like guffawing at the notion.. stinkin' kids! :D
11:44am ET. Ready to go play in the dirt. Bought 2 trees yesterday and have to get them in the ground. I feel tired already... :O
9:16AM What a great morning for me to enjoy! Just beautiful peace and quiet. Sitting here reading and doing my laundry. Enjoying my book(s) immensely. Good Morning everyone!Awesome Alondra what kind of trees did ya get?

:) hehe, that's funny. They don't know what they're missing!
It is 1:39 PM, and I really need to get more motivated with my reading. So far, I've only read 5 or 6 books, 3 of which aren't novels. I'm currently 78% into The Help and 71% into The Girl Who Played with Fire

Yeah, but it seems like most of the books you've been reading lately have been massive.

picked up 2 Golden Pyramidal Cypress. They get about 12 ft tall and the coloring is beautiful.. golden tip, shading to a darker green int the middle...

Yeah, for some reason, I seem to be drawn to the massive tomes.. Then when I do pick up a 300-400 page paperback, it feels like practically nothing compared to the others..:)
Oh wow Alondra that is a gorgeous tree, I looked it up because I was curious to see one. LOL
Mod
Oh wow, those ARE beautiful! After seeing this post, Janie, I looked it up, as well! Thank you!
Thanx! I do flowers; so my first real trees. We have tons around our property already; but after storm damage, I needed a few more. :)9:42pm ET. Chilling out... time to read!!
8:48PM Just finished my work out and shower, now sitting down to relax with GR and friends!
It is 10:46pm and I am recruiting people to join the Rage's Echo Launch Team on Facebook. (Thanks, Janie and Dustin!)Shameless promotion: https://www.facebook.com/groups/31465...

You are most, most welcome, J.S! I love what you've done so far!
3:38PM Have dinner started! Having Beef and Noodles. No work out tonight it is rest day so will be taking Aeverie to the playground. He loves to be out and about. Having a hard time getting into 'Black'. It is nothing like I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, its not bad, just not good for me is all. But I will keep at it.
Mod
Aw, I am so very sorry to hear that about Black, Janie..:( Do you know why you can't seem to get into it?
Mod
Mod
I'm not sure Dustin, I think it has to do with the fantasy feel to the one reality. The normal side, which he thinks strongly is the dream state, I like that part. It just seems like a huge stretch for Dekker. On a good note, Hub just finished Boneman's Daughter and loved it.
Mod
Which world would you call "the normal one"? To me, they both have that a semblance of normalcy; they're just different, is all. Does one feel more real than the other? I also liked the non-fantasy one more at first, but then the other grows on you. You'll see.:)
