January's book was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson. Our meeting was at the Books A Million out at East Chase. I must confess... I didn't finish the book, not yet anyway. I just ran out of time. I waited too late into the month to start reading. I know better, being that I'm a slow reader and all, but that first chapter was just TORTURE. It's so hard to get into a book that doesn't grab me in the first sentence. I pushed through knowing it was a "mesmerizing, thrilling" read and so far I've been glad that I did.
Unlike last month's book (Fannie Flagg's newest, I don't even remember the name), I'm determined to finish reading this one. I know how this one ends so that takes some of the excitement out of it, but I'm looking forward to the details of how it all takes place. I don't think it's fair to not finish reading a book and then expect the ladies at our meetings to not discuss the end. What kind of discussion would it be if we can't even discuss the ending?!?
For next month we decided to read a "lighter" more inspirational read. We kind of agreed on the first book in a little series by Francine Rivers, the Mark of the Lion series called A Voice in the Wind. I'm looking forward to it. Hope to write more about it during the month.
