to: Thirteen (Hardcover)byRichard K. Morgan
Thirteen is a futuristic techno-thriller and a sci-fi masterpiece. I was reminded of Dan Simmons's Hyperion — the world and its people are that richly drawn. At once gripping and thoughtful, this is a novel worthy of the top awards. It's got my vote.

to: The Mistress's Daughter (Hardcover)byA.M. Homes
The Mistress's Daughter shows that truth is often stranger than fiction. In the hands of a lesser writer, the people in the book — including the author herself — would have been two-dimensional, bland, and unbelievable. What Homes has created is a riveting story of missed chances, betrayal, lies, and finally hope.

to: Lost on Planet China: The Strange and True Story of One Man's Attempt to Understand the World's Most Mystifying Nation, or How He Became Comfortable Eating Live Squid (Hardcover)byJ. Maarten Troost
Lost on Planet China is a must-read. The book, like its subject matter, contains multitudes. It's a travel-history-political-business-humor book. Roll Bill Bryson, Daniel Boorstin, and Thomas Friedman together and you get an idea of the scope of Troost's talents.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54401526
to: Assassination Vacation (Hardcover)bySarah Vowell
Leave it to Sarah Vowell to roam across America in search of the motivations and culture of political murder. Obsessive, edifying, and, of course, witty, Assassination Vacation is unlike any other historical tourism or travel writing book you'll ever read.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54389849
to: The Way the Crow Flies: A Novel (Paperback)byAnn-Marie MacDonald
Ann-Marie MacDonald writes beautifully; her words wrap around you and envelop you. The Way the Crow Flies is engaging and evocative. She captures the pure joy and pain of childhood better than anyone since Margaret Atwood. That would be enough but then she adds in a murder and the Cold War. Please pick it up — you will not be disappointed.

<![CDATA[Powells.com added 'Beguilement']]>
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54389162
to: Beguilement (The Sharing Knife, #1)byLois McMaster Bujold
Fawn and Dag are an unlikely pair but the chemistry between them is unmistakable! With The Sharing Knife Lois McMaster Bujold starts us on a new series — same great writing and boundless imagination but with a good dose of romance thrown in. I raced through this book. I was captivated by the adventure and magic of Bujold's latest world.
