    Finally!

    We were at Barnes & Nobel at midnight Friday night! DS stayed up all night to read it, then gave it to me. I got to Christmas on Saturday, but haven't had a chance to read yet today.

    Tamora Pierce: Alanna

    As I recall, at first he seemed too old for her, but her experiences made her end up more mature than him, until the final battle when they finally both came into their own.

    the hours

    I read the book but haven't seen the movie. The book was hard to get into, very Virginia-Smith-esque, going off into intricate detail about minor details (as our minds do in any situation), so that the story wasn't so much... linear. But when I finished, it had invaded my mind, lol, and I...

    incest novels

    THAT'S the one that was made into a movie with Jody Foster. The only incest I remember in "Cider House Rules" was the foreman raping his daughter. That was icky.

    incest novels

    I find the idea repulsive as well. That's why I didn't go see that movie Jody Foster was in... "Hotel"?

    Fairy tale? Impossible to find...

    It doesn't ring a bell to me. What country was she in when she heard it? That might help your search. Also, you can post a note in the children/teen forum on the site in my siggy. Maybe someone there can help. Good luck!
