reading...

i had a bit of a reading break... but this year my goal is to read 3-5 books each month (if not more!) mikey's teacher sent home this book the girl with the dragon tattoo. i had been thinking of getting it for awhile but hadn't. it was REALLY boring at the beginning but after the story started it was one that you cannot put down. now i need the other two in the series!





and today i started reading this one. it's been sitting here for months. got it at the thrift for like 50 cents. hopefully it's good!
