I'm reading "The Dim Sum of All Things" by Kim Wong Keltner. Here's the summary from my local library site:
Have you ever wondered:Why Asians love "Hello Kitty"? What the tattooed Chinese characters really say? How to achieve feng shui for optimum make-out sessions? Where Asian cuties meet the white guys who love them? Then you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll realize this book is better than a Broadway production of Cats when you read scenes that include:twenty-something Lindsey Owyang mastering the intricacies of office voicemail and fax dialing, an authentic Chinese banquet where Number One Son shows off his language skills by speaking "Chinglish", dating disasters with grandsons of Grandma's mahjong partners, and the discovery that the real China looks nothing like the pavilion at Disney World? All the while Lindsey is falling in lust with the "white devil" in her politically correct office. But will Grandma's stinky Chinese ointments send him running? Or will Lindsey realize that the path to true love lies somewhere between the dim sum and the pepperoni pizza?
Okay, so the summary sounds really stereotypical, and some reviewers on Amazon think so too, but love it and think it's hilarious. heart

I'm reading Luscious Lemon by Heather Swain, and so far I think that it's really good. I'm still only halfway through, I like it. It's so...real. There is quite a bit of "worldliness" in it, as my fellow Christians would say, but I'm not built the way a lot of Christians are. To me, it's just human nature. Anyway, here's the link if anyone is interested. 3nodding
Luscious Lemon on Amazon ♥ heart ♥

The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines. It's a great twist about of the standard fairy tales.

Question the Answer I read Dawn of the Dreadfuls (prequel to Pride & Prejudice & Zombies) yesterday, and I'm now reading Phantom by Terry Goodkind. i just finished Phantom and although i loved the first book in the series, i was disappointed by this one. there is no beginning or end! it s as bad as the Wheel of Time.

Iconoclast Enthusiast I read Dawn of the Dreadfuls (prequel to Pride & Prejudice & Zombies) yesterday, and I'm now reading Phantom by Terry Goodkind. Both of those books were good. cool Killing Rocks by D.D. Barant. Hurray for parallel universes and alternate timelines!

i just finished The Tower at Stony Wood, by Patricia McKillip (2000)
like her other books, it is lyrical but with a great deal of mystery about who is who and what it all means
and there are bards and magic
and selkies
and bakers
