The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: A Lisbeth Salander Novel
By Stieg Larsson

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER The thrilling first book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series featuring Lisbeth Salander: “Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson’s first novel” (The New York Times). Also known as the Millennium series

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

My Thoughts

I have the first three books in this series. I did not realize there was more or I would have all eight. The characters are crisp and delightful The plot is strong. I really enjoyed all three books I have read so far.

Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

As can be seen this week was a busy writing week. I think I got poems in almost all the open volumes.
I got word counts in a couple of places. I also looked into hiring a developmental editor (Partners in Crime book services)
for Kingdoms of Sin. Mostly because I would love to see it released next year. This week should be the usual posts.

I have Questions

I decided I did not feel like doing the Tuesday tunes this week. Instead I have questions.

1. Why is it that writers of prose are expected to write daily… but poets are called prolific if they do?

2. Why do some people seem to be afraid to try to write poetry? 

3. Why do so many people believe that writing prose is easier when there’re far more rules to prose than poetry?

4. which one do you want to write or read?

This week I squirrelled a lot instead of writing. Some weeks are more art than words, and this is one of those. As a matter of fact I don’t want to deal with the book review tomorrow so I am planning on an art post instead.
