a hunting i must go (for a good bookstore that is)

             the story of a father whose daughter dies at 38 and he is left to care for her children..As parents we often wonder what would happen to our children if something should happen to us. i'm very excited to read (and i have no doubt cry) along as i read what sounds like a very emotional, heart warming tale.


The book follows a married couple and their close friends and family members as their chaotic relationship unfolds over the years. What draws me to the book is the description of the main couple. She is a homemaker characterised by her dry humor and biting wit (i feel a kinship) and her lawyer husband is stiff and likes all things environment. There is a rape, undiscovered dreams and of course a love triangle. It sounds realistic and clever and something i can relate to.


I started this trilogy and now am down to the third and final book. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Plays With Fire tell a tale of Lisbeth Salander. She being the hard nosed, tough, and enigmatic girl that noone understands and most people fear. i resisted reading the books but kept hearing about them so during the snow storm i said what the heck. The library didnt have the third one (Hornet's Nest) so i am on a mission once we thaw out to find it.
