    I like your list of books.
    I think that I would like to start reading the books by Steig Larsson. How are you liking the second book?

    I was just mentioning The Christmas Train by David Baldacci on another blog. I thought I'd read it, but for the life of me I can't remember. I really need to check and see.

    Steph - My review on Sarah's Key should be up Tues or Wed.

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.
