And then I saw that it was actually a robot, so that made total sense. Where can I get one? Does your robot vacuum and do windows, too? As for prologues, a book I recently read had an unnecessary prologue. In fact, it was a portion of a scene that ended up happening about a third of the way through the book, so when we got to the actual scene it sounded tired and redundant. I usually don't mind reading prologues, but that type annoys me. I have a question for you, one no one has been able to answer. It's not crucial, but the mystery is bugging me nonetheless. Lately I've noticed that every new book except, perhaps, for occasional long-anticipated new releases by big-name authors, comes out on a Tuesday. Why is that? What's so special about Tuesdays?
