Rating: Sigh.
I have been waiting to read this book since I read The Prince (Jan &#8216;06). I loved that so much that I immediately set my sights on the only other book under this name.
Alas, The Linnet does not live up to The Prince&#8217;s standard.

		<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>

Truly disappointing. I wanted to flesh out my Men In Kilts category, and I just couldn&#8217;t bring myself to finish this.
Scotland, approximately Regency-era-ish? Hard to know.
I wasn&#8217;t too keen on the opening chapter, but, hey, openers are hard. Kitt&#8217;s father, the head of Clan McKlintock, is dying, and he <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/05/the-bodyguard/'>[...]</a>]]></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.

This is a really cute book, best for younger readers. Disney&#8217;s new Rapunzel movie, Tangled, is coming out in a year or so, making this a timely choice. It&#8217;s told in diary form, which allows the kids to speak like kids.

Coming out of Beyond Heaving Bosoms, I naturally wanted to indulge in some of the best/worst of the genre. I swapped for this book a short while ago and figured it was as good a place to start as any.

By god, I love the Smart Bitches! Their fabulously hilarious blog, SmartBitchesTrashyBooks.com was the perfect platform for their snarkage, but it couldn&#8217;t really contain everything about the genre. Blogs are topical, this book is more an overview of the genre as a whole, while reiterating the Smart <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/04/beyond-heaving-bosoms/'>[...]</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.

Absolutely love this one. A webcomic that revolves around a manslut named Rayne, the kind of guy you should hate&#8230; but I think I have a little crush on him instead.
Rayne is a guy in his mid 20s, and he is a manslut. He likes sex. He <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/least-i-could-do/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
