More book loot!

[oyceter]

Aside from my manga loot, which I am still gloating about, so far I have bought:

- Sherry Thomas, Delicious, even though I could have gotten it in CA, just because I couldn't wait any longer to read it.

- John Makeham and A-Chin Hsiau, eds., Cultural, Ethnic, and Political Nationalism in Contemporary Taiwan: Bentuhua

- Patti Gully, Sisters of Heaven: China's Barnstorming Aviatrixes: Modernity, Feminism, and Popular Imagination in Asia and the West. Chinese aviatrixes! How could I refuse?

- Trinh T. Minh-ha, Woman Native Other

- Celine Parrenas Shimizu, The Hypersexuality of Race: Performing Asian/American Women on Screen and Scene

- Kathleen Duey, Skin Hunger, as it was recced by both coffeeandink and rachelmanija

- Maria Luisa Bombal, New Islands and Other Stories, as recced by Mely

- Eileen Chang, Love in a Fallen City, recced by Mely and out of interest from Lust Caution

- Laura Esquivel, Swift as Desire, since I'm liking Like Water for Chocolate so far

- Derek Walcott, The Odyssey, as recced by Mely

- Megan Chance, The Spiritualist, as I am still hoping that something in her general historical fiction will be as good as her genre romances

- Scott Westerfeld, The Risen Empire, because it's trade PB and mine is the HB and my second book in the series is mass market, and the discrepancy drives me crazy. Crazy!

- Marie Brennan, Midnight Never Come, as recced by yhlee and coniraya

Comment and tell me about any of them!

(How is having three types of covers on the Westerfelds instead of two going to help?)

In my very complicated justification, I keep thinking the TPB is closer to MMPB than a HC is to MMPB, so I am gradually closing the gap? Plus, TPB takes up less space on the shelf and is easier to lug around.
