A Woman's Guide to Adultery by Carol Clewlow

From Library Journal
The moral of this cool, ironic commentary on adultery is clear: Affairs with married men cause pain for women. Narrator Rose, 38, regrets the loss of honor involved in such affairs, empathizes with the wives, and generally disapproves of adultery, at the same time that she practices it. Her three close friends are similarly involved. What is enduring here are female friendships, as the men come and go. As a last resort, spent affairs may be translated into fiction, a course taken by Rose after she succumbs to love with her married tutor. The English academic setting intensifies the detached intellectual tone used for a subject of such potentional passion and pain, and this is ultimately too clever to be engaging. Literary Guild featured alternate.

Bound by Donna Jo Napoli



From the back cover:
Young Xing Xing is bound. Bound to her late father's second wife and daughter. Bound to a life of servitude as a young girl in ancient China, where a woman is valued less than livestock. Bound to be alone, with no parents to arrange for a suitable husband. Xing Xing spends her days taking care of her half sister, Wei Ping, who cannot walk because of her foot bindings, the painful tradition for girls who are fit to be married. Even so, Xing Xing is content to practice her gift for poetry and calligraphy, and to dream of a life unbound by the laws of family and society.

But all of this is about to change as Stepmother, who has spent nearly all of the family's money, grows desperate to find a husband for Wei Ping. Xing Xing soon realizes that this greed and desperation may threaten not only her memories of the past, but also her dreams for the future.

Fine then, show me what you've got, Sand. :P

Even the most unlikely dreams of love come true in this anthology of magical romance, with stories by New York Times–bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon and by Rebecca York and Robin D. Owens.

In Kenyon's "Knightly Dreams," Taryn Edwards is ready to give up on men, after catching her boyfriend with his secretary, when an old woman in a bookstore prescribes an old-fashioned hero to her. The purple paperback shows a handsome, bare-chested man, Sparhawk the Brave, who emerges, straight from the Middle Ages, to spend seven days with Taryn. Together they learn to write a new ending to their romance.

In Rebecca York's "Shattered Dreams," psychic powers reunite a long-lost couple, as sculptor Caleb Mancusco pays attention to a vision that helps him rescue his former girlfriend, Miranda, from a serious accident and from the hands of those who want to kill her.

In "The Road of Adventure" by Robin D. Owens, Jake and Shauna get a chance to rewrite their love history (think Groundhog Day) and finally get it right, with the help of an amazingly ugly talking cat named Boris. It all adds up to a more than satisfying anthology for lovers of fantastical romance.

and I'm offering the book... not the guy on the cover! :P

Hey Sand, I'm reading one of the books you sent me.. :) Geisha...

cool... how is it?

Good so far, I'm only 57 pages in though! :lol:

i see ramson, but she's not posting :unsure:

Dear Diary,
Decided to write book today.
Thought am good writer, am smart gal, have interesting sex-filled (lie) life.
Thought can write about men, life, love, family, food, sex, and fat assedness.
Thought can share stories with tiny-butted and big-butted alike.
Can tell people why fat, why (was) cokehead, why traffic jams and herbal laxatives don’t mix, and why suede pants and sprinklers have same rule.
Can show smarts and ingenuity…(Note to self: should seek patent on ideas for multiple uses of triple-x elastic-waisted pants, and negotiate with airlines on new seating classes invented by self.)
More important…can show world how life is beautiful and funny, no matter size of butt.


There was once a girl named Kirstie Lou.
She dreamed that one day she would be a huge star. So she worked hard to achieve her dream--never suspecting just how huge she would one day become.
This is the story of her Tiny-Butted then Big-Butted then Tiny-Butted life...with true tales of men, mischief, loss, cocaine, suede pants, religion, chicken and noodles and family, all thrown into the pie.
Buon Apetito!

Alley's accounting gives readers and intimate look into her life while providing a hilarious view of being overweight in a skinny-obsessed world. Whether readers are struggling with weight or personal integrity - or if they're just looking for love and happiness - they'll identify with Alley's experiences. She tells it like it is and helps us laugh at ourselves (and others.)
