In my quest to make my reading more productive I have decided for the rest of this year and probably the next I will be picking my own reading themes in this order- Adult, Teen, Middle Grade Child, and Younger Grade Child.  This week was Adult and I decided to honor Lisbeth Salander's birthday on April 30th.  I first read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo back in January 2018 and after getting my new reading planner thought it might be fun to actually continue the series.  This week I finished The Girl Who Played with Fire . As I remembered from the previous book there is a lot of coffee drinking so I played the drinking game and drank coffee every time it was mentioned.  Next time it would fun to do a tally.  Any way, in comparison to the first book this one was a bit tame.  I enjoyed it even though I spoiled it for myself when I was looking up characters to keep them straight.  Since the kids have a 4 day weekend I will not be able to watch the movies but that is okay.
