Marisa: Well, you beat me to the punch on the second day. (I'm still getting around to it...) Janssen: I can't remember if I'd heard of Madapple before Carol recommended it, but I did like the cover. (But that's just the designer in me talking. :)) amelia: Yes, Shannon recommended the audiobook of The Wee Free Men, actually (read by Jim Dale of Harry Potter audiobook fame). And Princess Academy is awesome. I highly recommend it. :) Jon: Glad to hear I’m not the only one. ;) And yes, Shannon is great.

I picked up a copy of Princess Academy at someone's house once, but never got around to finding my own copy to read. I think I must just have to find one now... along with some of those other recommendations. The Wee Free Men, that’s awesome.

I'll have to remember to budget for this in the future. Very glad to hear that Hale is a nice individual.
