Book 46: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

I will be starting the 3rd book in the Millennium trilogy tonight. It is 'The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest' by Steig Larsson. In this final book, Lisbeth will need to be put on trial for three murders after she recovers from intensive care. She will be fighting against everyone who has wronged her in her life. I am very curious to see what kind of revenge she has up her sleeve. I also hope to meet her twin sister, but don't know if she will make an appearance.

Book #45: Everything is Illuminated

The next book I am starting is 'Everything is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safranfoer. In this story a young man ventures out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Jonathan travels with an old haunted by war, a dog, and a young Ukrainian translator. Throughout the journey he tries to imagine the history behind his grandfathers life. This book is supposed to be a mix of comedy and tragedy as history unfolds.

Book #44: A Wolf at the Table

Today I will be starting 'A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father' by Augusten Burroughs. This is the book club selection for my new book club which is meeting the end of June. In this story, Augusten talks about his memories of his father and the longing for unconditional love from a parent. I have read 'Running with Scissors' and liked it, although not nearly as much as I love all of Sedaris' books. I hope to be able to really enjoy this book without all the distractions of my life lately. I'm also looking forward to discussing it with some new book club friends.
