I, too, sloughed through The Lovely Bones, and though many people I love and respect think so highly of it, this us what I thought: "Really?!!!! I mean, really?!!!! You put uscthrough ALL that, and.... REALLY?!!!!" I'd much rather grab a G&T and sit back with Katniss and Peeta... And GALE!!! Nicky!

Do not feel bad. I wanted to like that book. I REALLY TRIED to like that book. But in the end, it was just maudlin, treacly, and I think the narrative completely fell apart. Hunger Games is WAY better. (also no rape and murder, so) Yeah, I HIGHLY recommend The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It is amazing. I was kinda turned off by it in the book stores and then my boyfriend told me how amazing it was and IT IS. I can't wait to read the sequel but at the same time I'm glad I'm giving myself a little breathing room! (It is also not a happy tale but, unlike The Lovely Bones, it's a more organic unhappiness. Or just more believable, i dunno.) you should definitely read it! AFTER you read Hunger Games, cause you don't want Katniss to come bowhunt you down! oh LORD, the lovely bones. Do not feel bad.

Welcome! ALSO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Actually, can I inquire as to what the Boring Book is? I so have that problem too. It's not that books I read are boring! Anything but! But sometimes I see a fresh new book (usually a sequel) sitting there, all lovely and beautiful, and I know I have to finish reading 5 Sweet Valley High books before I can even look at it (not that I am in anyway referring to my current life and the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, of course).
