Welcome to Standing and Reading!

Why start another little review site on the web? Well, there's simply not enough time to read all the good books out there, so I feel a bit of direction can hardly go amiss. My plans for this blog are fairly modest -- honest reviews, when the spirit moves. I plan to review 'sequential art,' aka comics as well as text-only books. My current interests in that area tend toward manga, especially girls' or shoujo manga. I am fairly devoted to fiction. Expect mostly fantasy and 'chic lit' stories on, although I may surprise you with the odd adventure or crime novel. And even more rarely, non fiction.

The first review post goes up Friday: this week I'm reviewing Esther Friesner's Temping Fate.
