		<description><![CDATA[Zombie apocalypse. The scenario has been reworked again and again, and has become pretty predictable. Something spreads through the population, turning almost everyone into shambling, undead creatures in search of braaaaains. A ragtag group of unlikely companions hole up together to beat back the hoard. The odds are stacked heavily against them.

Luckily, S. Dave Shabet has put a new spin on the old story. He's got one hell of a framing device.]]></description>

I bought this book because, well, it&#8217;s called The Barbarian and it has a laughably swoony cover. I mean, c&#8217;mon, what&#8217;s more classically romance novel than a dude&#8217;s face all up close and personal while he gaze intensely at you, all the while holding his very phallic <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/the-barbarian/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Considering the OMGHUGE plot turn that happened this October, I figured I should get around to reviewing this.
Sarah Ellerton made her name in webcomics with Inverloch. That series has ended, and now she has two projects running simultaneously, both exquisite.

The Phoenix Requiem is a fantasy version of Europe, roughly Victorian-era. In <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/11/the-phoenix-requiem/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Do you see that adorable little pyramid thing dusting the title on the book cover? You see that? That&#8217;s the most adorable killer robot you will ever see.  Its name is XR-36, but it secretly thinks of itself as Octavius.

Book Two in the Witches of Eileannan is a big &#8216;un. It covers TWO mega-battles/wars, and a giantass cast of characters. I love it.
And plenty of men in kilts. Not much fetishizing of the kilts, but plenty of kilts. And women kilting their skirts up because skirts <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/07/the-pool-of-two-moons/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

My mom got me hooked on these. She bought the whole Black Dagger Brotherhood series (1-6) and she immersed herself in them for about a week. Then she passed them on to me.
Good, solid books. Not perfect, but few things are. As a whole, the series is delicious. It&#8217;s smart, <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/05/black-dagger-brotherhood/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
