"Everyone's wierd in their own special way."
So true. I know from experience.

Favorite Authors

Tamora Pierce, Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfield, Michael Scott, Angie Sage, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, too many others to name.

Favorite Books

Protector of the Small quartet, Everlost, Inkheart, Gossamer, The Dark is Rising, anything by my favorite authors.

Favorite Characters

Once again, In what? Movies, books, plays... these questions really should be more specific.
