Regarding the Shannon Hale book, I've felt this from time to time about other books that seem to have had their genesis in the ferment of online discussions (not that hers necessarily did, but the tropes you mention are definitely ones that people have talked about online).
I'm glad That Lass O'Lowrie continues to be good!
And "working on" is what I'm doing with all my reads right now, and I guess what I need is to add a true pleasure read into the mix. I did start Letters to Malcolm! Which won't be so worky but at the same time isn't exactly id-tastic either.
