Read a good book lately? Suggest it to us here. :)
I highly suggest "Wake" by Lisa McMann. Wicked description, but not so much that I want to poke my eyes out.
Description is good, but too much description can be so tedious to have to read, that you tend to want to skip through all of the crap until you get to the action, the actual scene. Seriously. Too much description can be a nightmare for the reader. I know, hard to believe, being that we're always dwelling on description at YWS, but Twilight, for example, was just terrible, due to the unnecessary details Stephenie Meyer so kindly provided for us. I swear, that book would've been 200 pages shorter if she could just describe Edward once and be done with it already...
