Karen,
At the moment you can't really claim participation points. You made only one discussion post (not counting your questions) and that's not participation. Sorry.

I did Alena. I did the Graphic Audio version though, so I'm sure it's a totally different experience than the book. I don't enjoy many graphic novels, but fantasy ones like this and Demon Cycle are so much fun. It really is "a movie in your mind" :)
