&lt;p&gt;Author: Amanda Meuwissen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;rating-35-subjectively-i-can-see-it-get-45-from-somebody-who-likes-the-style-of-the-story&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating:&lt;/strong&gt; 3/5 (subjectively. I can see it get 4/5 from somebody who likes the style of the story)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this book for me?&lt;/strong&gt; It&amp;rsquo;s a light, slice of life supernatural novella. Some vampires, some werewolves. No wars. No psychological drama. Not much plot, either. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking for something fun and almost fluffy, this is it. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking for something engaging or deep&amp;hellip; not so much.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;http://roxanamchirila.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; title=&#34;More...&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I made a mistake with this book when I started reading it. I thought it would be a traditional sort of supernatural novel, with the drama of being turned, or with bad people needing to be hunted down, or that sort of thing. It&amp;rsquo;s actually slice of life. It&amp;rsquo;s not so much about the newly-turned vampire Chris going through huge issues concerning the meaning of life or the meaning of fighting evil, but about the just out of college Chris needing to find his way in life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After that, my vision changed. Instead of being annoyed with the book that it&amp;rsquo;s not really pushing the plot anywhere, I started taking it as a sitcom (especially since the Big World Network likens its stories to television series). Which it really works as, actually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The story doesn&amp;rsquo;t really do it for me (not a big fan of sitcoms), but it has a few points in which it shines. The ideas about what a number of vampires and some witches do all day are quite plausible as well as amusing. And you can feel the characters. They&amp;rsquo;re real people, living in a real city and going about their real day-to-day business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I recommend it for sheer fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. The audio version is read by Amanda Meuwissen herself. Her accent is a bit unusual (&amp;hellip;said the Romanian, I know), but her voice acting and narration style are quite enjoyable. I think I could rate the audio version 4/5. Her reading it makes the difference.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Niște update-uri pe scurt.</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pe &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.gog.com/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Gog.com&lt;/a&gt; au reduceri de 70-85% la o grămadă de jocuri în următoarele 18-19 ore (după postarea asta). Recomand &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.gog.com/gamecard/tales_of_monkey_island&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Tales of Monkey Island&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Am citit două serii de pe &lt;a href=&#34;http://bigworldnetwork.com/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Big World Network&lt;/a&gt;, The Collector și Real Fangs, ambele de Amanda Meuwissen. O să le scriu recenzii în curând. Pentru acum: sunt simpăticuțe, ușurele, genul d nuvele din care mai citești încă un episod de parcă ai lua o bucată de ciocolată. Nu o ciocolată foarte specială, dar plăcută oricum. Consider că și singure ar merita cei trei dolari dați pe abonamentul lunar. Deci recomand site-ul ca atare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Îmi iau aer în piept să încerc din nou să citesc Metamorfoza lui Kafka. Data trecută când am renunțat după ce mi-am dat seam că e singura carte care m-a speriat cu adevărat în ultimii ani. Și pentru că m-am trezit cu o fobie față de gândaci de bucătărie. Dar mai încerc!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Săptămâna viitoare plec la mare, așa că îmi cer scuze în avans pentru întârzieri de moderare sau chestii de-astea. Teoretic o să am net, dar nu garantez că stau pe el prea tare 😛&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cursul de &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.coursera.org/course/historyofrock2&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Istoria rock-ului, partea a II-a, începe de luni pe Coursera&lt;/a&gt;. Am văzut prima parte și o recomand cu căldură pe a doua. Pentru că e istorie și nu matematică sau programare sau alte chestii de genul ăsta, vă recomand să-l încercați chiar dacă nu v-ați uitat la prima parte. Țin să vă reamintesc că e gratis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;În continuare îmi ofer serviciile de traducător și interpret autorizat de limba engleză (și de limba japoneză, dar doar traduceri japoneză-română, că încă nu sunt la nivel de nativ acolo).&lt;/p&gt;
