What are you reading this week of March 6, 2016? [View all]

The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. I've had it for a week now and still have 150 pages yet to read. So far it's good enough but it doesn't have the power of Larsson's novels, for me anyway. Larsson's Salander was so dynamic. Every scene she was in had you glued to the page. Not so much in this one. I went and read some reviews this morning on Amazon and I'm not alone in my opinion. OTOH, many people absolutely loved it. So, there you go. I will say this: if he ends this book the way I fear he is going to, I doubt I will ever read another.

A new brew pub is opening in my town today so I'm going to mosey on over and check it out.

What's new for you this week?
