Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
It's a fantasty novel, which incorporates fairytales such as the 12 dancing princesses (or whatever it's called)
It's a nice book, none of that twilight paranormal/fantasy crap!
with commentary... decent read, recommend... nice quick read if you're not going to bother with the commentary as well; for all you illiterate fucks...
I recently finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. It was (in short) 800+ pages of brooding, nihilistic brilliance and now anything I read seems terrible because it never quite lives up to my expectations...
