Hello!

Just checking in from the Left Coast. Nothing is really new here. I got Christmas stowed away for another year. I made some New Year's resolutions, which I haven't really started on, but I will--I REALLY will.

I got some books for Christmas. I've only read half of one of them so far--The Magician King, by Lev Grossman. It's good, a sequel to The Magicians.

I also read the third book of the Hunger Games series. Yes, it's teen lit. Still a very entertaining read. I wanted to finish the series before the movie comes out, which I think will be any day now.

Speaking of movies, I saw Dragon Tattoo and loved it, and it made me wonder exactly why I was unable to get going on the book. I'm going to give it another try, now that I know that the plot will be engaging once I get past all the Swedish names...

That's all I've got.
