The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nettles - Show Notes

This week on The Podcast, Laura and Charlotte return to Sweden to finish the original Millenium Trilogy with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. They chat about the trial of Lisbeth Salander, Erika Berger's professional strife, and Mikhael Blomkvist's endless supply of lovers. Laura explains why Annika Gianini becomes a one of her favorite characters, and which characters she felt served as palette cleansers. Charlotte talks about the stupidity of Prosecutor Ekstrom, and shares how much she appreciated Monica Figueroa. Together the girls also question the satisfaction of the final book in the trilogy, reveal their favorite part of the book, and so much more. Can Lisbeth overcome her mistrust of authority figures in order to save herself? Can Erika Berger survive the monstrous Svenska Morgen-Posten? And, how the hell does Mikhael keep his job? All these questions and asked (and potentially answered) in this week's episode.

For Fun & Games, Laura and Charlotte dust off the Sorting Hat to decide if the Millenium characters belong in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. They also take a buzzfeed quiz called "Which Strong Female Literary Character are You Based on Your Taste in Dessert?"  Play along and share your result in the comment section of this post.

Looking for a podtail to sip on while enjoying The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest? Laura suggested the Swedish Polar Bear or a nip of Akvavit!
