That reminds me a bit of Inkheart. Love the title of the book.

Sounds like a good book. Thanks for giving me something to post today, too.

I really need to read this series!

Scrap Girl: It vaguely reminded me of Inkeart a couple of times while reading it too. Of course since I recently finished reading it, many things probably will for awhile...

CarolsNotebook: :) I've been meaning to play for weeks now but keep forgetting

Kailana: Oh! It's incredibly good (well at least this one is). I've already ordered the next one from the library.
