I’m nearing the end of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo but I already have a couple of books lined up ready to read after I finish it (hopefully tonight).
The Missing Ink by Karen E. Olson is one of the books on my nightstand. With this book, Karen introduces readers to a new sleuth, Brett Kavanaugh. Brett is a tattoo artist and owner of the Painted Lady, catering to high-profile clients in Las Vegas. But in her free time she does a little investigating too, because murder really gets under her skin…
After having read all of Karen’s Annie Seymour mysteries, I am eager to start this one. I can’t wait to see what Brett will be like. Even better, Karen is going to be stopping by my blog later in the week with a guest post so stay tuned!
The other book I would like to start over the weekend is Hold Love Strong by Matthew Aaron Goodman. Read how it begins and tell me you aren’t hooked:
“The first pain came at noon but she didn’t tell anybody about it. My mother was thirteen and she went about the afternoon being every part of such a precarious age. She watched TV. She popped pimples and she studied her face in the bathroom mirror. She listened to the radio, sang along with songs, and laughed along with the afternoon DJs. She wrote in her diary. I still can’t Believe! I’m pregnant.”
I also have the latest BookPage waiting for me so I think I’m set for some great reading this weekend. How about you?
I haven’t read anything by Karen Olson. I know, I’m so behind!! This sounds really good though. Will be checking out your reviews!!
Wow. 13 and having a baby. So totally frightening.
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on Karen Olson’s latest. I just finished reading that one not too long ago.
I’m not sure I’d have the cojones to read about a pregnant 13 year old! That is only a year and a half away for my daughter. Scary! I am excited to hear about Girl with the Dragon Tattoo…has been on my radar for a long time!
Sounds like youve got some great books lined up. Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Wow…I AM hooked!
I love the beginning of Hold Love Strong. I have to add this to my list. I wouldn’t be able to stop after that paragraph. Thanks for sharing it Iliana.
Have a great week. I have that same issue crying to me also. LOL
Wow that’s quite an opening (Hold Love Strong)! I’d like to read your review of this.
Fantastic cover on that Karen Olson book. Who is the artist? My wife is a HUGE fan of mysteries, I’ll have to check this out for her.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of the Larsson book! I am sorely tempted to just start it now–even without finishing my current mystery! I saw a copy of The Missing Ink while I was out shopping this past weekend–I think this is the first time I’ve seen a tattoo artist as a sleuth! 🙂 I hope you had a nice weekend–why did it fly by so quickly??
Both books looks great, Iliana!
I hope you had a great weekend. 🙂
The Missing Ink looks so fun. I had no idea about Karen E. Olson. I need to check her out.
Hey guys – So far Missing Ink is a lot of fun. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was a bit hectic but looking forward to catching up on blog reading today 🙂
These both sound good and as different from each other as is possible! The mystery sounds like a lot of fun .
The Missing Ink sounds cool, especially because I get my tattoos done at a place called Visible Ink.
I keep hearing about The Missing Ink!
did u like the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo 🙂 I am curious you know 😉
