But I know all about other books screaming louder!<BR/><BR/>*Karen - Do you have a particular favorite out of the ones that you've read?<BR/><BR/>*Laura - There were a few things about this book that were a little confusing, especially with the time traveling stuff (there isn't a whole lot, but a few key parts use time traveling). If you're planning on rereading Jane Eyre soon, you should read this one next! <BR/><BR/>*Kya - Hamlet, huh? Sounds like a lot of fun. I like when books like this play around with the characters and stories we know so well.<BR/><BR/>*Susan - I looked up the series on wikipedia yesterday and it looks like there is another one coming out soon also! I'll definitely check out the two you mentioned--don't they come next in the series?Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-66897087139650507582009-03-13T23:11:00.000-05:002009-03-13T23:11:00.000-05:00I loved this book!
