Book Review

Ok, since I've been on a reading kick lately, I've signede up on Goodreads.com.  Very cool website.  I've read two of the three books in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.  Here are the first two reviews from Goodreads.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow, sick, twisted, perverted, mind blowing, and intoxicating...don't know how to describe this book. At first I thought it was painfully slow, but now I realize the setup was crucial to the story. Once you get to the thick of it, there is a lot of information packed on each page that is both excrutiatingly exhausting and yet exhilarating to read. A real page turner once you get immersed in the good stuff.




***If you have difficulty reading long passages about violence against women, this book is NOT for you. But what seems like a sleepy financial murder mystery turns into something much more. Can't wait to see the movie and read the next one!

The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow, the more you find out about Lisbeth Salander, the more you feel for her. This book was impossible to put down! Now to get my hands on Book 3!

UPDATE

So yesterday as my rheumatologist appointment. What a let-down! He doesn't think its lupus at all. He thinks it may be a serious of unrelated issues. WTF?! But, he took blood and is running a magnitude of tests to see what comes up. I pray that there is an answer in there somewhere! I can't go on like this forever, it just keeps getting worse and worse! I'm trying to stay positive but its extremely difficult. Keep your fingers crossed and I'll update the second I find something out! Thanks everyone for your support!

so... my appt. is April 12th

Hopefully I can soon have an anwer to what is going on. My appointment with the rheumatologist is on April 12th. That day can't come fast enough...

also special thanks to Carmen for giving me someone to talk to .... check out her blog here

still MIA

Hi gang, I have been mising for almost a year now. After last april when I had the shingles, in May I thought I had pneumonia. Since then I have been back and forth to drs (all different kinds) trying to figure out whats wrong with me.
First in May I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease. Now the drs. think I don't have that and that I may have Lupus instead. I am waiting for an appointment with the rheumatologist that I was reffered to. In the meantime I have been on prednisone since then and just recently weaned off. Now my hair falls out, i have a rash across my face, and my joints and muscles ache daily. Man I hope they figure out what this is soon!

Hopefully I will be back to knitting again real soon!
