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.

I don&#8217;t know what it is about JR Ward, but her books are amazing. Once begun, it is impossible to stop. Everything else gets put on hold. And that took a serious chunk out of my work this week, as this beautiful, beautiful volume is over 600 pages.

I&#8217;m trying to be good, really I am. But 50 pages out of 170 isn&#8217;t such a bad run&#8230;

I saw the movie ages ago, but I don&#8217;t remember it very well. A good deal of the book felt familiar, which means the movie did bear some similarity to it. Not that anyone would really care when they could gaze on a GORGEOUS Johnny Depp.
The book is lovely. Intriguing, <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/12/chocolat/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

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>

I owe one of my good friends a debt of thanks for turning me onto these. At the time it was just the first two on the shelf and we all thought it would be a trilogy. Imagine our delight when it turned into SIX books!

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>

If you&#8217;ve been reading webcomics for any period of time and haven&#8217;t come across Megatokyo you&#8217;re not surfing the right comics. Ever seen the Sad Girl In Snow trope? This is where it was born.

The Smart Bitches have raved about two of PC Cast&#8217;s books so I figured she was a pretty safe bet. And it was really just&#8230; so-so. Entertaining, but not madly so.
