Hi there
Well, to be honest i would read them in the correct order, why you ask?
Well, my father (God rest his soul) bought me Grave Secrets & Bare Bones (well i picked them out, he paid, LOL) the christmas before he died. I didn't realise that the books had to be read in a certain order, so a started reading Grave Secrets, and i was totally confused, why? Because they carry on from each other. In each of the following books, she mentions things from the earlier books, and it get s little confusing cos you have no idea what she is going on about.
And you will probably feel the same when you have read this reply ;D
I bought the other copies of ebay, as i couldn't afford (poor student) to pay full price.
Happy reading, when you've read the first book, why don't you come back on here and make a comment or two, we need fresh blood to talk too, LOL

Thanks.
I thought so too, but wanted to be sure.
I ask because I got the fifth book from my friend and now I tryed to find those other books from bookstore, but with my luck they were sold out. So now I know that I need to go to the liberary watch if they have those books and I let that book wait what I have already.

Thanks bonelady. My broblem is that I live in Finland and here are limited options when you talk about bookstores. I live in maincity and still here are only two or three big bookshops and if the book is sold out from one store then it will be sold out of the rest of them too. I also like to read them in finnish so that I don't need to read them with dictionary in my other hand, I'm not so familiar with that medical language. But if I don't get them in here then I turn to you bonelady.

They were all used Gary. Doesn't bother me, alongs as they are from a non smoking house, and don't get me wrong on that subject, i just don't like the smell of cig smoke on books, especially when i read in bed at night!

Oh yeah I agree with you there Suzie. It's not pleasant while you are trying to relax. I bought all the books from new. That's just my preference. Any other books I haven't bought were either passed down to me or were given away free. Of course I'm talking in genral here. All but one book by Kathy was bought by me. Mostly from Waterstones where I went on an insane book buying spree.

I would love to buy my books from NEW, really would, but with 4 teenage daughters, and the cost of makeup these days, well Mom comes second i guess.
I bought the last one from new, and my Dad bought 2 (new) for christmas that last time.
My other books i got from the Mystery & crime book club (got loadssssssssssssssss of James Pattersons), my others, which i don't think either you or Gary would want to read (romantic war stories!) get passed to me from my Mom, who gets them from her sister!, which i eventually pass on to my daughters!.
If the price is right i will buy new, but if not then its second hand i'm afraid.
Like now, i need to get my hands on some anthropology & pyschology booksfor this semester, but they are quite expensive, so i will probably end up on ebay for them, if not there, then i will just have to save up for them!
