Hey.  Look familiar?  The German cover of Caragh O'Brien's Birthmarked is the same stock photo as Glimmerglass -- right down to the little droplets. -->


Last Week on FFO: Dreaming of Amelia and The Mermaid's Mirror gave each other the cold shoulder for daring to use the same stock photo.  Dreaming of Amelia can barely see itself in The Mermaid's Mirror -- because The Mermaid has left Amelia in the dust...

    Across the Universe, without a doubt. I just think they blended all of the pinks and purples so beautifully.
