Has anyone else heard of this series? I recently finished the first book, and it was so wonderful that I went ahead and bought the other two. It's set in Victorian England and has a bit of fantasy, so I'm sure that it will be enjoyed by all in this guild. Link; http://www.randomhouse.com/teens/gemmadoyle/home.php

That sounds amazing! I must read the series. I have a few books I need to read first, but this definitely sounds like a must read. Victorian + Fantasy = amazing.
Could you tell me about some of the characters?

Okay, I will TRY to do this without fiving to much away. smile
The four main characters:
Gemma Doyle: She was sent to Spence Academy for Young Ladies in England after her mother, Virgina was murdered. She has recently been having visions.
Pippa: Pippa is very beautiful, and is being forced to marry Mr.Bumble who "is older than her father".
Ann: Ann is a scholarship student at Spence and is an orphan. She has a hait of self injuring herself in order to make sure she can still feel.
Felicity: She is the daughter of a famous admiral. Felicity gets upset because she does not get to see her father often. Her wish is to have strength.

Both of you, I am very welcome. smile The first two are $10, and the thirs is around $18, since it's hardcover.
I also hear that they plan to make a movie about this, so I am quite excited.

I hate it when they never publish books in hard cover!
That is exciting, I'll have to read the book first.
