“What is heaven," he asked, staring into my eyes, "but freedom, and beauty, and comfort?"
"And salvation," I added.
"Yes, of course"-he smiled-"but what is heaven alone? It is a dream for these pitiful creatures blundering through their common lives, eager to see what lies in the world beyond in the hopes that it may be better than what they have here.”

Marisa Hey Alisa!

Thanks so much for The King's Rose! And for signing it! That was so nice of you. I can't wait to read it. And yes Harry Potter and The Hunger Games are AMAZING! Have you read the sequel Catching Fire? If not then you definitely should. It's just as good as The Hunger Games.

Marisa


Bradley I hope you are having a good day! =)
