It's good to know I'm not the only one...Ah! It's good to know I'm not the only one. :) I mean, who wants to be surprised by a sad ending if you can prepare for it ahead of time? You haven't read The Phantom of the Opera (*weeps violently*). But no, I understand taste varies and what really catches my attention might not catch another's. And yes, I aim to finish the Inheritance Cycle before the end of the summer--hopefully summer. Also, I'm glad I could introduce you to something new. I hope you like The Peculiar and The Whatnot. (I took about a month to read each of them. *sheepish grin* But usually, the more slowly I go through a book, the more I like it. Either that, or I just can't stand it's face but I'm determined to finish it anyway.) <br /><br />On another note, I'm sorry for being tardy in responding to your comments. My computer had been conking out all month, and getting progressively worse. But I just got a new (well, repurposed) laptop (that's Adele mark two), and now I'm back in business. I promise to reply to your comments more promptly from now on.

I know I've tried to ...I read the endings, too! I know I've tried to pick up the Phantom of the Opera a few times (get your butt on The Inheritance Cycle, woman. Suave villain alert!) but I haven't gotten into it, and I haven't heard of the other two. Though, the idea of a standalone book with a companion novel does interest me. Thanks for sharing!
