Charlaine Harris Rocks On!
1 of 1 found this helpful I had read all 9 of the previous books in this series, and each one leaves you wanting more. I finally got #10, and it was just as good as all of the rest. When I get close to the end of these books, I actually try to slow down because I don't want it to end.
I have seen all 3 seasons of True Blood, and if anyone has seen the series on TV and hasn't read the books, do yourself a favor and get them. There is a perfect balance of what happened in the books and what HBO changed. Now that I have seen the show I find it even more fun to read the books because the casting couldn't have been better. Now I can picture Anna Pacquin and the rest of the gang while I am reading the books.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this amazing series. I have been an avid reader all my life, and this is the kind of book you can't put down - and when you do you can't wait to get back to it. I read every day and some books are interesting - but Charlaine Harris takes you into the book and you think about nothing else while reading - and you don't want to leave!

The Ultimate Page Turner!
I read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and could not get my hands on The Girl Who Played With Fire fast enough. Before I finished this I ordered The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I have it sitting on the table while I finish another book. I am taking as much time as I can since I know that this trilogy is the end. Just like I do with great food, I like to savor the fact that I have it there ready to read - and then I will be sad when it is over.
When I read the first, I fell in love with Lisbeth and Mikael - so I got the DVD. Loved the movie too. I was thinking there was no way they could do the book justice, which so often happens, but they did.
As most of you know, the trilogy was published and made into a movie in Sweden first - then became a huge hit worldwide, both the books and the film made in the US. After I read the first, I found out that the author died suddenly in 2004, right after he had given his books to his publisher. He didn't even live to see what a success they were. I was very upset by this to say the least. Not only is that incredibly sad, but that means no more Lisbeth and Mikael after I finish the third. When I love a great character and there is a series I have to read them in order and I never miss one. Knowing there will be no more after this is just too sad.
RIP, Stieg Larsson. You and your incredible writing will be sorely missed.

Stevie is Timeless
1 of 1 found this helpful Ms. Nicks has always been my favorite singer, and after all these years, Stevie still has it. When I saw she had a new CD out I couldn't wait to hear it. I was not disappointed. Her voice still has that smokey velvet quality and she still writes all of her own songs. While enjoying the sound I also listen to the words and Stevie always makes me feel like she just really "gets it". I feel a connection that I don't usually feel with other artists.
The CD comes with a booklet with beautiful pictures (Stevie is still gorgeous) and all of the words to the songs which is always nice.
I was delighted to see track #6 called "Moonlight" (A Vampire's Dream). I still miss the TV show "Moonlight" (at least I have that DVD to enjoy), and considering the title and lyrics I have to assume that she is a fan of the show as well. Very cool.
My favorite poem is Poe's "Annabel Lee", and once again I was delighted - on track #7 she put the poem to music, and it is awesome.
I have collected Stevie's music from the very beginning of her career to the present. She still has not only the voice and the talent, but also that gypsy spirit that sets her apart from so many artists that all sound alike and bore me to death.
My taste in music is eclectic and I go through "moods" - so I have listened to and enjoyed everything from classical to country to hard rock. These days I usually listen to alternative rock, and aside from Evanescence, most of those groups are mainly male artists. I love to rock it out - but when I want to listen to something that evokes a range of emotions while enjoying the music at the same time I always think of Stevie.
"In Your Dreams" is not one of those CDs that you buy because you like one, maybe two songs - then you eventually get tired of it and it ends up in CD storage. It is one that you will listen to many times and for many years. Timeless, just like Stevie herself.
