Because I liked As Hot As It Was You Ought To Thank Me by Nanci Kincaid so much, just started another book by her called Verbena.

Better book than the synopsis I have given it. Consistently makes it into the Best Sci Fi books of all time lists.

That book sounds interesting. I looked it up on amazon but they only have volumes as expensive as $40 so I had to check several other platforms before I found a used copy for less then $9. Thanks for the recommendation! |

Some poster here recommended "The Nine Nations of North America" by Joel Garreau. That's what I'm reading right now.

I'm finally reading "The Aguero Sisters" by Cristina Garcia. I had tried it a couple of times several years ago, when it was newer-- could not get it to it. This puzzled me as the book got great reviews from sources that I respect. This time around, I'm really enjoying it. Not sure what's different, but I'm happy to find a new (for me) novel on my shelf.

I'm reading These is My Words and enjoying more than I thought I would.

I'm still reading Shanghai Girls and although I really like it, it is NOT a good beach book! I took it with me on Memorial Day and had to wipe my tears with a soggy, sandy towel.
Lolagranola, I also read Snowflower and the Secret Fan and LOVED that book. |

"Cold and pure and very dead" by Joanne Dobson (Murder mystery of course xD). Last night I was going to "give it a quick look" and I went to sleep at 2 a.m.!! I'll probably finish it today.
