Book Number 36: Plain Kate, by Erin Bow

emmaorgana: do not read this post. Go to Borders and buy the book yourself. But DO NOT READ THE POST!

Girl power, magic, vaguely set on Earth, historical, kind of sad but awesome, wandering, Canadian author, etc. Oh, and also cats.

EMMA, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

I have just finished reading "Plain Kate". As with all the books that length I love, it took me about two and a half hours. I have been looking forward to the book since I found out it existed a few months ago...mostly because I love reading books with my name. It wasn't the first book I bought after I found out I had a full time job, but it is the book I bought after I got my first full pay cheque.

( I have a weakness for craft and books about knives )

And the author is Canadian! AND FROM KITCHENER! Maybe someday I will meet her and fangirl her in person!

I give it an 9/10 on my increasingly arbitrary scale of book rankings. It loses .5 for not having a map and the other .5 for not begin Poison Study. ;)
