What are you reading the week of Sunday, August 23, 2015? [View all]

Almost finished Summerland. My new computer is now in play and I can tell you the leap from Win XP to 10 was a pretty big one. But, I'm learning.

Got some exciting news from GoodReads:

The duo who captivated millions of readers in Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo join forces again in an adrenaline-charged, uniquely of-the-moment thriller.

Girl in the Spider's Web


It’s a testament to the popularity of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series that the story continues even after the author’s death. Written by fellow Swede David Lagercrantz, The Girl in the Spider’s Web reunites enigmatic hacker Lisbeth Salander with crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist to confront a brutal enemy.

The secret that the duo is chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments
around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it...
.

Wow, I'll definitely be on the lookout for that one. So, what are you reading?
