YES! It sounds like an awesome adventure!
Yes! It sounds amazing, and so exciting and enchanting:)
Oh my goodness, how I’ve missed the sweet and a tad desperate Lord Denbury. Sigh. Thank you, Leanna! Beautifully done!
That was awesome! I can’t wait for the next book.
Yes absolutely. It’s what I fantasized about as a child!
Yes I would love to be in a story.
Of course, what an amazing enchanting life it would be
Leanna’s stories are so lush! I’d love to be in one.
Uh, no. I like my boring life, thanks.
No, never will I ever wish for a life in a fantasy world. Too much time and energy would be wasted.
I’d love to be a main character in one of those stories! It would be fun, adventurous, and dangerous all at once. Sounds awesome!
With all the good and bad adventure I think I would.
You always learn things about yourself.
Sounds like fun, but I’m leaning more towards no (but I do love these types of stories.
Nope, I’d rather read about them
Yes, adventure, romance, new experiences. Better than my small town.
I think it would depend if the story would be one that ends with a happy ending
I think it would be exciting but probably super freaky too. I would probably want to do it though. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love reading about those things but I don’t want to be a character! Just happy as a viewer
I would! It would be awesome to experience such things!
I would, if only for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of it.
hmm i don’t know if i would or not. bad things seem to happen along with those things in books. it probably could be fun as long as it wasn’t a forever thing, but i wouldn’t want to live as a character in that kind of world forever. : )
It would be cool to experience something so one-of-a-kind, but I would be scared out of my mind of all the things that would happen.
would i ever want to be the character in a book? um yes. would i want to be trapped in a portrait….er…no.
Yep! No doubt about it. How cool would that be?
Even with all of the curses and stuff, I’d definitely love to be in one of these stories! Much more exciting than real life.
I’d love to be in a story with all these elements.
