Two non fiction books and the funniest novel I've read in ages!


Fantasy Cross Stitch by Lesley Teare- she's one of my favorite cross stitch designers, so I was looking forward to this book. It's going to be a long time before I can do anything from it, but I just loved going through it. I love her fairy designs more than anything! Her dragons are wonderful, too.

The Sweet Spot is filled with Asian-inspired desserts that I can't wait to try. Some of them are truly Asian in origin (such as red bean paste filled sesame balls), and others have Asian ingredients in Western desserts- for example, a layer cake made with green tea icing. The book has very detailed recipes and photos of the finished desserts.

Finally, I finished reading You Suck in one day! It was even funnier than The Stupidest Angel...and that one had me falling off of my seat laughing. You Suck made me laugh even harder. It's pretty hard not to be amused by a book about vampires in love... especially when the opening line is "You bitch, you killed me! You suck!" It's downhill from there, and it's fun.

Back to more serious reading...Wings of the Dove, and I also have Howards End on audio.
