That is way too complicated for me. Doesn't make for a good story either.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984305420691237277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-30943335571999880562008-05-07T08:07:00.000+08:002008-05-07T08:07:00.000+08:00Wendy - I don't like the feeling when I don't unde...Wendy - I don't like the feeling when I don't understand where the story is going... and in this case it means I've to start reading from the first book. ;P<BR/><BR/>Iliana - Me too. But there are times I just pick up a book without checking if it's part of a series, especially when the blurb sounds so good. ;)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-48499157830057626802008-05-07T05:38:00.000+08:002008-05-07T05:38:00.000+08:00Hate it when that happens.

Otherwise I always feel a bit out of the loop you know.<BR/>I've seen books by this writer before but never tried one...

I do try to read series books in order as often as I can, but that's not always possible.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-11590309258187474002008-05-06T08:10:00.000+08:002008-05-06T08:10:00.000+08:00Me too, Debi!
