Just finished Zorro - excellent retelling of the legend. Allende deserves all the praise she has received for this book - highly recommend it.
Tried many times to get into Gaiman's American Gods and just could not do it. The story just never grabbed me, which was surprising given I usually like Gaiman's work.
Currently reading Playing With Boys by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez - its a chick lit/beach book written from the Latina's POV. She also wrote The Dirty Girls' Social Club (Las Sucias) and the fact that there was a Cuban Jew was what grabbed me. I kinda like reading a book where I can relate to some of the characters better because I get their cultural view points.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
