message 2: by Erin (new)

Erin Germain (demiguise) Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is possibly my favorite of Gregory Maguire's books! Have you read any of his others - not the Oz series? I found Mirror, Mirror to be a little confusing in places, although the premise was brilliant. And Lost kind of creeped me out. I ended up passing that along to a friend because it fell into the category of "not to read when alone in the house"... and I live alone. lol

Allyson I'm so glad you said that because I've had "Confessions" on my shelf for awhile and was sort of dreading it b/c I didn't like the last two from the Oz series. Good to hear this is a good one. :)
