Thanks for the mention :)

The big book news here is that the trailer for the Twilight movie came out recently and I've got one teen daughter who is already sleepless over the excitement of it all.

I think Natalie Portman will be wonderful! She is such a talented and classy actress!

Chris said...

Michelle- No problem. I haven't read the series but a lot of my book blogger friends are crazy about it.

Stephanie- I think she could pull it off.

Thanks for my mention too! Let me know if you want it to count as an entry. ;)

I think Natalie Portman is a good choice. Casting Heathcliff will be the problem. I just can't see Colin Ferrell in that role.

Chris said...

Anna- Yes, please!

Kookie- I can't see Colin either. An unknown might be better. There's also some controversy around Portman. Critics want Kiera Knightley or Sienna Miller !!???

Hi, Chris

Just as follow-up, I am sorry to report that your entry did not win. Thanks so much for helping to spread word about the book, though! Also, I believe Random House might have a number of book plates (essentially stickers) for authors to sign. If so, and you're planning to buy the book, let me know your address and I'll send you a bookplate to insert in your copy.

Thanks again!
