books Jan 2011

• The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson

(rock'em sock'em excitement) (seriously, is there anyone out there who doesn't know this series and cares about what I read?)

• The Swimming Pool by Holly LeCraw

Excellent, poetry-like pose.  A love story, or two, and a mystery to boot.

• A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan 

Soooo sooo good.  Each chapter takes place in a slightly different time, from a different person's view.  Each chapter can stand on it's own, but when read together, you see what happens to most everyone, even if they never find out about each other.  Absoultely brillant, and one of my favorite books I've read in a long long time.

About to start:

• How Did You Get This Number by Sloane Crosley
