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.

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.

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>

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>

I&#8217;m a huge fan of Tracy Chevalier. Like a lot of people, I began with Girl with a Pearl Earring, and have since made my way through all but one of her other books. So of course I leapt at the chance to sample her newest offering.
