Karen Marie Moning, Books, Fever series, fiction
...

Well I just finished all four yet available volumes of the Fever series and I'm dying to read the fifth and last one.
Unconventionally I assume, I read them in a most peculiar order - according to availability - which is the first volume first, then the fourth one, followed by the second one to end with the third.
Thank heavens for memory.
Well, the novels read like a train, if that's said, and I can recommend those to whomever likes reading fiction and supernatural stuff.
Karen describes the city very well and I suspect she did her fair share of research on the Wee people ( or Fae as they are called ) adding a little of her own to it.
Apart from it being fiction, there are a lot of memorable statements made and quotes to remember.
As for me, fiction or fact, there's not much difference, not more than the difference between truth and truth.
Up early tomorrow and classes in the evening, so I'll leave it at this.
Oh , just heard the Doors again (I looked at you) ... some Wee folks playing with my brain?

Books, Amazon, Chinese
I'm still not gambling, no.
Not unless you count the weekly try for the lottery, with a couple of colleagues, as gambling.
This week is my book week.
I finally received my text- and workbook for Chinese class.
A bit surprising at first was that we had to order it ourselves, from an
American on line shop.As we decided to place one order, we cut back on the shipping costs and the books were actually cheaper than the ones some had seen in a shop. Unfortunately, these shops only had a textbook or a small number of copies.
Anyway, class will go even faster now.
And for more good news on the book department, my order from amazon arrived.
The four books of Karen Marie Moning have been delivered last Monday.
Unfortunately I was at work and I still have to collect them from the post office.
Today it will be opened later and they will be in my eager hands.
Bit of a bummer is that I have to pay an extra 10€ of which nothing was mentioned on the Amazon site.
Hmm, Amazons, eh?
