I just started "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, and so far, three chapters in, it's been mostly about pissing and a guy getting sucked into a prostitute's vagina. Awesome book so far.

Books on the Princes in the tower,I find the event really intense, just trying to decide who I would hold in the main responsible for their deaths or at least the death of one of them.

Baby Be Mine by Paige Toon, need a bit of fluff at the moment. Just read James Corden's books as well which I loved.

I'm really struggling with The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest, Dragon Tattoo was excellent but I feel that Girl who Played with Fire and Hornet's Nest is really one good book stretched badly over two.

There's a lot of padding so far in Hornet and I'm just getting really bored of it.

I think I like the second and third books better actually, he goes a lot deeper into the story with them than with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I finally got round to finishing Hornet, I don't think it's as bad as I thought but I'd say it's the weakest book, the first 13 or so chapters are just so boring and the whole plot just lacks the intrigue of the first two books.

I'm gonna re-read The Hunger Games trilogy and then I'm gonna go read The Woman in Black.

The film doesn't do the book justice. The film doesn't even feel like a proper adaptation of the book because it's so different/so much is left out.
