I received 3 books as Christmas gifts, so in between reading books for NABBW reviews, I will finally join the crowd of people who have read books by Steig Larsson. My son gave me "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," as well as "The Girl Who Played with Fire." My Dad gave me a large book by an author I've not heard of: Karleen Koen, and the book is her second: "Now Face to Face." Her first book was titled "Through a Glass Darkly." Anyone with any knowledge of Koen?

Steig Larson being Scandnavian falls into the genre of Nordic crime..and a recent TV discusion showed how this differs say from my Ian Rankin.I attended a discussion at a book festival from a group of Nordic authors..the climate and short days lend a slant to the writers.Many are quite dark.
I like books that show a different culture it expands my thought process.

Yes, Greene, the freebies are great! I also love the free ebooks from authors who want to get you hooked on a series by making the first one free!

I have to admit that the last couple of days I have been spending more time on the New York Times crossword puzzle I downloaded than doing any serious reading.

Just finished a book called Look Again by Lisa Scottoline. Fiction, interesting topic, single mom with adopted son discovers thru one of those "have you seen this child?" flyers that he was kidnapped as a baby and his parents have been searching for him. I gather she's got a lot of other books out and I might have to add some to my pile of books waiting to be read.

Will start a new book today hopefully, love starting a new book!

I'm reading three books right now...

Buy my favorite is "go givers sell more".

I think it is a revolutionary book about focusing on others..it has totally changed my thinking about life in general..and sales.

Sounds great Danita. I'm going that title with my sons; one who is business/marketing and the other who has his own business. Sounds perfect.

Anyone here read Jodi Picolt? My niece gave me Keeping Faith for Christmas. I'm just getting in to it. Not sure about it yet. I'll let you know.
