I celebrated my birthday (next friday, Nov 26) with some friends at the movie theater yesterday, and one of them brought me a book:

The Magician by Michael Scott. (GoodReads, Amazon)

And then, when I started reading it last night, I realized that it was the second book in the series, so I can't start reading it yet. We laughed and laughed about her mistake :).

Happy Reading,
WALKING BUTTERFLY

Missie, The Unread Reader said...: Happy Birthday!

You know, sometimes it is really hard to know what is the book order of a series. The book doesn't always make it so clear.; November 22, 2010 at 8:21 AM
Yiota said...: I can't believe that! i did exactly the same mistake with Magician. I started and then i found out it was the 2nd. I remember i had just 2 hours before the stores close for 3 days, and i was running to all the bookstores to found the first one..haha...
anyway i hope you like it:D i did^^; November 22, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Zakiya LadyWings said...: LOL Yiota! Too bad I didn't think of that! :D

Missie: Yeah, IKR? Sometimes that could help a lot.

Thanks to all of you for commenting!
