I think Mab actually treasures Harry. She does not want to show it, of course, but I think she does.  Besides I believe they are growing closer, somewhat understanding each other. When they met, Harry says that Mab is too alien to understand but I do not think that is still true for him. Also, personal opinion here, some of you probably remember my old theory. Someday Mab is going to ask Harry to kill her. It will backfire because at the time Harr y will love her (not as a romantic partner!) and so he will be free of the WK work while still having his healthy spine.

Hi Regen!
Meds seem to be doing their job so far.
Yes, sight is a sad warning of getting older but I don't complain because we have so many things that allow us to enlarge the words when we read. I would have been much worse for elder people decades ago.

Aw, cinammon roll Da Vinci  . I am super happy to read about your mother, your daughter and your cats. And I hope your husband makes a full recovery soon. And yes, there are other virus too!

Sorry about your book being not so excitiing. I had zero time to read, trying to send a paper.

I've seen Christmas markets in Europe and they are lovely. I hope you enjoy yours! I can't believe it's already middle November.

It is going to be a very hot day today. I will make myself stronger to endure it.

I would like a short story about the cleaning system realizing there was a fire that could not been stopped and making the decision of saving as many small items as they can, knowing that the Za-Lord would appreciate that.  Harry repaid them with pizza and some extra bread and milk or whatever. It's only he had no time to write it in the Files.
BTW, perhaps that tells us when Harry is writing the Files. He would not write them while he has his cleaning service because that would be a risk, what if that is considered telling? He cannot tell anyone about them.

  You may be on the right though, who knows?

Mira, I absolutely agree about the grief that Harry is living feeling realistic. I think you are using "reliable" in two different senses. One is, you can relate with the narrator. I totally agree with that. I had terrible grief moments myself. But I think most of us were talking about the term "reliable narrator", in the sense that if you can trust in what Harry told us. When Harry hallucinates, forgets something, and perhaps has been mentally affected, we as readers only have his words to go by. An objective narrator would have told us that Harry was talking alone in the bookstore, but Harry talk us how nice and pretty was Shiela. That is what we were talking about.

LaraBeck. I agree with what you said, but when I mentioned Harry's depression about Susan, I was talking about when she was bitten. Harry told us that he was a mess for a lot of time, but we barely see it on page.

Am I am so thankful you logged!

The 24-hs thing worked and revealed that my diastolic pressure was often high, but not so much the systolic one,  which was...not what I expected. The doctor added another medicine, this time a diuretic one, but in a mild dose, I think. I have to make a new appointment in 2 weeks. I had not checked my pressure since then.

JB began writing Mirror Mirror! In his official page it says he is 14%. Also, there is a Twelve Months' first chapter sample somewhere. I read it. This is going to be a difficult book to read. 

I think some readers tend to forget that all of these books are technically Harry's Journals. He wrote them. So therefore there are going to be issues like this, especially someone who is impacted by this much trauma.
Additionally, it feeds into an ongoing theory that Harry is not a reliable narrator. This is something that pops up every now and again.
I also feel like the books are getting closer to (Harry's) present time. The early books often read like they are furtner in the past, while as we creep close the end, they feel more "current".
Just one mans opinion.

That is the point. Harry is not a reliable narrator. We know that, at least since Shiela, his fire spells and, well, who hired the killer in Changes. But it is not always so clear when he is writing the files. He has been distressed before, but we had not seen him in writing. Like, we know when Susan happened he was a mess. He told us so. But his actual words were tidier and clearer than now.

BTW, Jim is already writing Mirror Mirror and I am happy to hear that, as I hope it is a funnier book. We know is necessary for Harry to live through the twelve months, but being with him won't be easy.
