20. Twilight, Stephenie Meyer.
Oh dear GHAD, that's over. *Mails away and deletes the rest of the books from her Amazon cart.*
21. The Twelve Kingdoms, Sea of Wind, Fuyumi Ono.
Another unexpectedly delightful read - but I wonder if I'll get the rest of this series evar as it was pubbed by the Evil Empire and they're toast.
22. The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee - Observations on Not Fitting In, Paisley Rekdal.
Quick! Check the name - what race is she?
You'd never know her mother was Chinese - unless she told you and she reports that you'd likely go 'oh yeah - now I see it' - and on goes the book.
She taught in Korea, traveled in China - and her observations are painful, unsparing and unavailable to most of us. I kept thinking of
caitlin and
stoneself constantly.
23. Little Butterfly, manga by Hinako Takanaga.
I said manga wouldn't count for the list, but in this case I'll make an exception. It's something so far off my experience it had to be mentioned.
Guys, I picked up a G-rated Yaoi manga looking for light reading - and OMG, it's cute, fluffy and totally AWFUL.
Misery loves company. Go get a copy and suffer with me.
On the shelf with you! (Some of you, GET OUT.)
