How can it be possible that I am a librarian, yet I don't have any free time to read for myself?!! The past two weeks have been way too busy. My friend Valarie passed her copy of the last book in the Millineum trilogy to me, but I have had no time to even open it to start the first chapter! I hate when life gets so crazy that things I love doing get put on the back burner. Thankfully, my college course will be finishing soon, and then it will be vacation time; I have a big plan of reading lots and lots of books while sitting on the beach in Rio....I can't wait until December 17th! Here's a sneak peak (from Amazon.com reveiws) at the last book, which I plan to begin this week.... or some time!Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan
