Though I admit it'd be hard to watch, but I'd like to see how they'll portray through the movie too. Laura Fitzgerald is a talented author, I really enjoy reading this book. I'll be looking out for her next release! ;)<BR/><BR/>Susan - I understand what you meant about Rachel. ;) And I chose Anna because she's a brave young girl, despite everything.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - She is in my opinion. And I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading it...

I don't know. Maybe it's because it's a paranormal and the usual rules don't apply. I'm not sure. <BR/><BR/>Anna is also an interesting choice.

I enjoyed the book, but it might be hard to watch. I read Veil of Roses last year and the author sent me a signed copy as a giveaway on my blog. She is a super nice person and has just finished her next book, which will be out in February 2009. She is also working on a children's book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-55619716935312748192008-02-29T16:54:00.000+08:002008-02-29T16:54:00.000+08:00Oh wow!
