Charlaine Harris
Ace, 2008
Dead Until Dark is Very Much Alive
HBO is showing a new series this year titled "True Blood." The TV show is based on Charlaine Harris's book Dead Until Dark.

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Khaled Hosseini
Riverhead, 2007
A sad burqa "romance" with a semi-happy ending
I enjoyed the book. Despite having a mostly sad story line, the two female main characters demonstrated courage, love, and hope in an otherwise brutal and oppressive marriage. This book is not for children since it frequently describes sexual encounters in a somewhat ...

Now that's what I like - diet recipes that are also tasty!
