Brackynn

Ooh, an Australian newbie! Hello from England! G'day, mate! ;) I was actually in England earlier this year, in January -- I did some sight-seeing in London and a day ...

For some reason, Liam was the first name that sprang to mind ... though I think that something like Samuel or Jude could work, too. This is a character for ...

Oh, sorry, I must have missed that part of your first post! (S'pose that's what comes of trying to be coherent when it's past midnight...) Like I said before, I ...

Hi Brackynn (I love that name, is it your real name?) Thanks, Via -- in a really, really warped way, I guess you could say that Brackynn is sort of ...

I read this book in a single sitting -- I picked it up around midnight one night when I couldn't sleep and just kept on reading into the early hours ...

*joins the "I've-only-read- My-Sister's-Keeper " club* I finished that book in less than forty-eight hours ... while I was on holiday in London for the first time and was trying ...
