I would LOVE this book! Please, please, please enter me.
Oh and I too find my characters taking on a life of their own. Then they go off and do things I didn't plan for them!

I agree that Elizabeth does make the characters in her novels very relate-able, not to mention in my favorite of hers so far, Something, Maybe. However, they do always tend to have that funky twist, even in Living Dead Girl.
I'd love to be entered to win!

I think reading scifi/fantasy so young warped me a little. To me, anything you're reading, even for a brief time, is real, because you are in it and witnessing the lives of those people. Maybe that's why I love metafiction so much. But, because of that, I don't even blink when authors (especially those in my Library's writer's group) mention talking to or hearing their characters speak. Of course they are!
Oops! That metafiction comment was from cyndala@gmail.com!
Cannot wait to read the Unwritten Rule - enter me, please!
I absolutely dont think that its wierd to think that the characters are real. To me when I read a book the characters are real to me. Personally I like when there is some extra scenes. Scenes where there is a little bit of mushyness make me happay :), but I also get what your talking about. I have had experiences where I read and want to skip a part because it seems that its going nowhere but I feel like Im cheating :)
I have wanted to read Living Dead Girl and The Unwritten Rule for a LONG time. The cover to the book is beautiful :)
Please enter me in the giveaway if it is still possible.

Those weren't gratuitous cover shots. OK, that last one maybe. But the others were totally necessary.
Please toss my hat into the ring for one of your books.
