Amazon order
Mom came through with an Amazon gift certificate because I made her busienss cards at the last minute last week, so it was a nice haul. :)
Cybele's Secret
- I liked Wildwood Dancing, so figured I'd try this. Original was the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and this one follows one of the daughters later.
In The Forest Of Forgetting
- Read a review somewhere online that made it sound good. Gothic-ish short stories.
Oishinbo: Sake: A la Carte (Oishinbo: a la Carte)
- The continuing adventures of the gourmet newspaper reporter! I read the first a couple of months back, and want more food porn.
The Luck Factor: The Four Essential Principles
- This sounds like a really horrible self-help book, but it's by Richard Wiseman, author of Quirkology and researcher of weird human psychology par exellence, and I've enjoyed enough of his other things to trust that it's not going to be stupid, and will primarily deal with the psychology and behavior of people who consider themselves lucky and unlucky, as opposed to Here's How You Can Become Lucky Too! We'll see. :)
Princess of the Midnight Ball
- Ran across a review somewhere. The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and the soldier in this case is also a knitter. XD
Izakaya: The Japanese Pub Cookbook
- Um, yeah, Been craving non-sushi, non-generic Japanese food, unlike the stuff available here which is probably best termed "Japanese," and found this cookbook. Giving it a try, as I liked the food in all the izakayas we went into in Japan. Will report back. :)
At Day's Close: Night in Times Past
- Been on my wishlist forever. Time to buy it or take it off. Sociological/ethnological look at people's lives after dark through recent history.
A Robe of Feathers: And Other Stories
- Short stories set in Japan, about the boundary between the real and the supernatural. Sounds great! :)
The Wine of Angels (A Merrily Watkins Mystery)
- Another one I found a review or mention of somewhere. Mom, who reads mysteries voraciously, said she didn't like it because there was too much woo, but she thought I might like it. Female Anglican priest and exorcist is the detective in this case.
