I love to read since I was a little girl. Working in a bookstore makes it easy for me to read, because reading and advice people what to read is my job. (Oh, what a punishment!) It gives me a chance to... more »

    You know, it's true that the first book starts off pretty slow. All the details about the financial escapades of huge corporations can really turn you off to this book. But it does get so much better! So hang in there if you can.

    PS -- I am so so so offended that Hollywood is making another version! The Swedish ones can not be topped.

    Hi Monique,

    I said "Yes" you should read 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' but before I could say why, it sent the answer.

    I think you should read it because it is so great. I see that you have read a lot of other disturbing so if those were not too burdensome to you, the terrifying adult content in this series should not be too much for you. I could not put down any of the three books in this series. Also, the Swedish movie series is really good and, except for the last one, follows the books pretty well, and where the movies take a creative cinema license, I found it satisfying (except in the third movie) and not offensive. The books great! Definitely read this series!! I have never read anything like this series and I never expect to again.

    Darkfever doesn't have much romance, but the series as a whole might disappoint you, if that's not your thing. (The last book, in particular.) The story itself is great though! I haven't read the Outlander series, so I can't answer that one. I hope you enjoy DarkFever! And if you're looking for a good book with paramormal elements, but not so much romance, The Host is good. I also just read Witch & Wizard, which is more geared toward teens, but it was also really good. And, if you're willing to venture to a bit of a different genre, The Hunger Games was absolutely fantastic. :)

    Hoi Monique,

    The Sweetness staat hierbij nog hoger op mijn lijstje. Volgende keer bestellen.

    Hier is het grauw vandaag, harde wind maar niet koud. We hebben afgelopen weken heel veel zon gehad - alle buien die vanuit het zuiden kwamen, waren al uitgeregend voor ze hier waren...

    Wens je veel leesplezier voor je vakantie, zon of geen zon. Ik ben nu even hard aan het werk met een vertaling die volgende week af moet zijn, maar daarna moet ik het - gedwongen - 1 of 2 weken rustig aan doen en ben ik van plan lekker veel te lezen. Ik heb nog een enorme stapel boeken liggen...

    Groetjes, Jolanda
