With the start of this New Year, I have taken comfort in knowing that I have a huge selection of interesting reading material to keep me going through the cold winter months. I also take comfort from the fact that many of my friends have also acquired a fresh supply of titles. The public library is within walking distance and the second-hand stores are worth the occasional browse.

Conversations among friends and fellow readers always brings to the surface names of new authors to be explored. I find this particularly welcoming, as I tend to get lost in the wealth of selection out there. I am loyal to my 'faves', but need to be willing to explore the unknown.

I did venture out a bit when I picked up Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I loved it! After reading the second in the threesome The Girl Who Played With Fire, I eagerly await The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

It would be great to share finds with fellow readers. I look forward to your suggestions and brief reviews.
