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.

My senior thesis was a story rooted in Japanese mythology surrounding  sword smithing. I spent years working on this thing, and have done a lot of research. Of course, I wasn&#8217;t able to lay my hands on anything really useful in the months leading up to my due date.

		<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>

Something spreads through the population, turning almost everyone into shambling, undead creatures in search of braaaaains. A ragtag group of unlikely companions hole up together to beat back the hoard. The odds are stacked heavily against them.

Luckily, S. Dave Shabet has put a new spin on the old story. He's got one hell of a framing device.]]></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>

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.

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>

First, I would have to declare that Mistral is not terribly important to this volume. Let it be known that the titles are farking arbitrary. (Just to spite me, Lick of Frost is going to be ALL ABOUT FROST, I just know it.)

Time moves differently in the sithen. Merry says, &#8220;I wish we had more time!&#8221; and suddenly they do. Time is moving glacially outside the hill, giving them all they need&#8230; to catch a killer.
The book begins with a press conference, sometime in the afternoon (I think). Shortly after it <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-stroke-of-midnight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
