I like all the food descriptions!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I can see how Graceling could go either way for people. It's not one that goes on my list of outstanding books, but it has a lot going for it and is just right for a particular mood.MBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860359505710765392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-68059911682493982392009-03-16T14:36:00.000-03:002009-03-16T14:36:00.000-03:00Um, that last one was me.

Mostly because I'm in a genre fiction class that has forced me to read nothing but terrible, terrible fiction for the past two months. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't too impressed with Graceling, actually. The writing and characterization left me cold. I felt it could have done with another edit/revision.<BR/><BR/>Sunshine by Robin McKinley always makes me happy. Also Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I read both of them at least a few times a year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-75470292796131856712009-03-16T11:01:00.000-03:002009-03-16T11:01:00.000-03:00My favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder is Farmer Boy.
