This week we have lots of new material hitting the best seller list. I’ve just started on the Stief Larsson books and really enjoy his writing. Can’t wait to catch up to the newest one.
And I’m sure my daughter will want the newest Twilight book, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Apparantly, it’s a must have before seeing Eclipse, the Movie.
