		<description><![CDATA[The field of comics, also sometimes known as graphic novels, is dominated by male creators and readers. However, there's been increasing push in the last few decades by women to enter the field and make their mark. Though comics drawn by women are gaining popularity, most are classified as "indie," distributed by small publishers that may not be able to advertise or place volumes in prominent bookstores. Naomi Nowak's most recent graphic novel, Graylight, is designated indie, though it deserves to be appreciated by a wider audience.]]></description>

Some books are like old friends. It doesn&#8217;t matter where you left off, or how long it&#8217;s been, you fall right back into friendship as soon as you meet up. Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite books. I can still remember sighting it <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/05/ella-enchanted/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I tried really hard not to let them all run together, but they did. Rather than try to pull the last three books apart, I&#8217;m just going to shove &#8216;em in one post and mention what lasting impressions I have.

First, I would have to declare that Mistral is not terribly important to this volume. Let it be known that the titles are farking arbitrary. (Just to spite me, Lick of Frost is going to be ALL ABOUT FROST, I just know it.)

Time moves differently in the sithen. Merry says, &#8220;I wish we had more time!&#8221; and suddenly they do. Time is moving glacially outside the hill, giving them all they need&#8230; to catch a killer.
The book begins with a press conference, sometime in the afternoon (I think). Shortly after it <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-stroke-of-midnight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

First, let me just say that that cover is a total plot-tease. It shows a woman&#8217;s belly, with a nice little round to it, and her hand just so&#8230; The series is about a woman trying to get pregnant. You are plot-teasing me, you stupid cover art!

To be perfectly honest, I&#8217;m going to speed through this review, and #3, Seduced by Moonlight. These books slam into each other and it gets hard to pull them apart.
Anyway, we now know the plot arc for the whole series. Merry&#8217;s aunt, Queen Andais, wants her bloodline to continue on <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-caress-of-twilight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

My mummy picked up one of the books in this series, and must have liked what she saw. She didn&#8217;t read it, she went and ordered all eight books. Mummy hates starting a series that she can&#8217;t finish, or at least be able to read a big ol&#8217; chunk <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-kiss-of-shadows/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Graceling was a gift, from someone who swore it was excellent. It should be, it has the endorsement of Tamora Pierce. It is a good book, with a good world, and enough momentum to keep one reading. I won&#8217;t say I adored it, but it was very enjoyable.
