WOW! The girl with the dragon tattoo

Wow is right! What a page turner. Mystery, suspense is all in this book. I am not going to give even a teaser because it could ruin the story. It is a bit graphic and has some rough language. The second book (The girl who played with fire) is even better (if you can believe that) than the first. I don't want the book to end. I am relieved there is another book in this series (The girl that kicked the hornets nest) Mr. Steig Larsson is the author of these exciting books. Check out the library website to put your name on hold for them TODAY! And hold on, YIKES is the word!

Stepping Into The Sunlight

Author Sharon Hinck has written a book that captures the reader and gives them an insight into post traumatic stress.

I think this book has been beautifully written. A story about a woman who has faced death, whose husband has been deployed, who has become a temporary single mother, has to face the nightmares of a near death experience and questions where God is in the midst of her world that is caving in.

I had a hard time putting this book down and the lessons on trust and faith and what they mean when bad things happen to good people are valuable.

Have a Little Faith

This book by Mitch Albom is a gem. It has quickly become one of my very favorites and I believe I will read this book every year.

Have a Little Faith is a book about two very different men. One, a Rabbi, who has asked the author to give his eulogy at his funeral. The other man, just a man who is seeking God in the midst of pain and suffering. Neither of the men know (or knew each other) but both men had a huge impact on the author.

This book was fantastic!
