I HATE this pose, it hurts my elbows SO bad! When does this get easier? |
I had a hard time getting into the book, it took me 200 pages for the story to really start, but then I couldn't put it down. I am now reading the second book in the series, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and it's alright. I think Steig Larsen does a great job of setting up the storyline and giving background on characters and the storyline, it just takes a long time. I watched the Swedish version of Dragon Tattoo, and thought they did an incredible job of casting Salander. I'm looking forward to watching Fire once I finish the book. Because I'm a purist in that sense.
I am also reading The Time Traveler's Wife which I am loving, but because that's a borrowed book, while Girl who Played with Fire is from the library, and thus gets precedence in my limited leisure reading time. I also can't wait to watch Time Traveler's wife once I get around to finishing the book...
which comes after I read Deja Dead by Kathy Reich's, which the TV show Bones is based on, since that is ALSO from the library ;) Can you tell I just love the library?
I really like the show Bones. I watched all of the seasons to get caught up with the current one in a very short period of time, and I got my hubby totally hooked too! Although it wasn't that hard, as he is a HUGE David Boreanaz fan from back in the day when Buffy and Angel and Faith ruled his TV watching. Eliza Dushku is STILL one of his favorite TV/movie girlfriends.
Love, love, love the book The Time Traveller's Wife. So good! The movie wasn't as good as the book, but that's how I find most movies that were made after a book.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get into The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and couldn't either. We watched the Swedish version of the movies and they were pretty good!
I just finished the Time Traveler's Wife. And while I cried like a baby at the end {it was really embarrassing, trying to explain to my husband what happened and sobbing...}, I wasn't really impressed. I guess it just wasn't what I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yet, but I don't really think it's my style. I'll definitely go see the movie when it comes out though!
Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic weekend my dear! And come link up for Happy Hour, if you're interested!

I've been doing yoga for about 6 months and it's just now getting easy. Stick with it, I can definitely tell the difference in my body, I am so much stronger and leaner than before.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books. I've read the first 2, Justin has read all 3. I liked the first one so much and the second one was just ok and by then I lost interest and never read the 3rd one. The movies were both pretty good too (I also watched the Swedish movies right after reading the books). I can't wait for the American version.
Time Traveler's Wife is one of my favorite books and the movie is pretty good too! Hope you enjoy it :)
Maybe if you go to regular yoga class for a month or so, then try Bikram? Might make it less uncomfortable for you.
ReplyDeleteI did not enjoy The Time Traveler's Wife. I hope you have better luck with it than I did!
Has Billy watched the show 'Dollhouse'? It was one of Tim's favorites. It's on Netflix On Demand!
I really fancied Bikram yoga but no where does it where I am so have to settle for normal yoga. I did a session on Miami Beach when I was on holiday and that isn't as hot as Bikram but it was nice in the sunshine heat :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Bones!!! David Boreanaz is also a huge fvaourite of mine from Buffy and Angel days. I used to want to be Faith (Eliza)...I just loved her. She was in a show called Tru Calling which was good but cancelled booo!!!
Just stopping by from Monday Mingle! I love your bog and now following :-)
