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 <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/06/the-linnet/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Scotland, approximately Regency-era-ish? Hard to know. I wasn&#8217;t too keen on the opening chapter, but, hey, openers are hard.

But 50 pages out of 170 isn&#8217;t such a bad run&#8230; The book is awkward and boring and it reads like what it is&#8211;a work of fiction by a feminist scholar that has been described (by <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/amazon/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Lauren Lipton Read: June 2009 Rating: Urgh? For the Feminist Review At its core, Mating Rituals of the North American WASP is wholly typical. Girl goes to Vegas. Girl gets drunk. Girl wakes up to find she married some stranger. Girl flees back to New York.

(It&#8217;s feeling a little redundant saying that&#8230;) Essentially, it&#8217;s a story of imperialism, told for a young adult audience with a penchant for romance.

Dana Stabenow writes sci fi/fantasy, and when someone suggested she try her hand at a mystery competition she laughed. But she said she&#8217;d try and it turned into a story.

		<description><![CDATA[By Margaret George Read: May 2009, approx. 240 pages. Rating: Sigh. I get very disappointed when books I want to be good&#8230; aren&#8217;t. It comes particularly hard on the heels of a riveting series, like the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And I just gave up on The Mermaid Chair, so it&#8217;s doubly depressing to give up <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/05/helen-of-troy/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I was happy to see Kidd had another book, but I held off on getting it.

I saw the movie ages back and don&#8217;t remember much about it except that I liked it more than my mother did, and she thought it was very disappointing. The book is&#8230; strange.
