15.2 - Outfoxed
For book 1 I read The Chocolate Heart
For book 2 I read Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free

25.8 - Catherine T's task: Diverse Reading
I read God Help the Child & Written in the Stars
Neither is a reread. Aisha Saeed is a new-to-me author. Toni Morrison (I'm guessing you knew) is African-American & Aisha Saeed has an Asian-Indian background - her site http://www.aishasaeed.com/p/media.html references her Pakistani-American background.
