What are you reading the week of Sunday, August 23, 2015?
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:
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?
= new reply since forum marked as read
Inquiring minds here. Good, bad, so-so? Always looking for new titles to put on my list. 
Not bad. I'd give it a B+. Worth reading if you like Hayder's other stuff, which is also scary and sometimes resembles horror more than mystery.
Also, I am reading "Midwinter Blood" by Mons Kallentoft. It's a little slow going, but not bad. It's set in Sweden. The plot starts when a man's body is found in a tree. The detective tries to figure out who the victim is. At first she thinks it's neo-pagans, but then it gets more complicated. Don't want to ruin it for you, in case you get it out of the library. 
I like Mo Hayder. Freaks me out sometimes. 
I thought it was probably about time I checked in - although I've been faithfully reading all the weekly threads since I took my break.
Anyway, I'm still very slowly making my way through Eliot Pattison's Inspector Shan series - those are the books that all take place in Tibet. I've finally made it to #5 of the series - there are 8 books in all. It's sort of embarrassing though - it's been taking me 2 or 3 weeks to make it through each book. This, after all my years of reading 2 or 3 books a week!
Mostly it's just because I haven't really had the kind of down time at home to sit down and read in big chunks. I've been reading these books in small bites during my lunch breaks at work, and they're so dense with detail that I'm constantly backtracking in order to keep track of what's happening. But I love them, and I'm determined to read the entire series, no matter how long it takes me. Meanwhile, I've let other books I've had on order at the library for months just come in and go back - I'm totally wrapped up in Tibet and I don't regret it one bit.
Eventually, when I've finally made my way through the whole series, I imagine I'll start getting back in the groove of reading all the other stuff I've let slip to the side. But it might be a difficult transition to make, because I think these Inspector Shan books will haunt me for a very long time.
Since my library doesn't carry those, I think I will visit Abe's Books and buy one. I'm guessing I should get the first one, unless you have a better recommendation. 
It's honestly become like a project for me to get through the series - I want to mentally stay in Tibet for as long as I can, and just absorb all the things about the culture the author delves into in each book. I really can't compare these books to any other fiction I've read. They are mysteries - but very out of the ordinary mysteries.
some time ago. But I think I will check out The Talisman. I like "fun" books.
Sweet book. Fun read. But something happened at the end that just made me 
Our heroes end up outside of a huge gate, behind which lie all the answers to the universe. On this gate is the number 216. That's my house number!! Freaked me right out. Turns out that's the number of a few other things, as well. But still....
