The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
A nice tale; i always enjoy reading Atwood. I liked this one better than the last few; the juxtaposition of the sf novel inside the book was especially well-done.

A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain
A very different book than Kitchen Confidential, but a good read in its own right. Bordain travels 'round the world, eating and observing food and the related culture surrounding it.

The Cook and The Gardener, Amanda Hesser
A charming, charming story with a slew of recipes thrown in. A holiday gift from the lovely Leckmans.

I Was a Teenage Fairy, Francesca Lia Block
A cute, wee book by the author of the Weetzie Bat books. (Thanks to Carrie!) It's charming and serious at the same time - and manages to address some serious issues about child photography, modelling, and abuse. Recommended.
