The Library Card Chronicles

Confessions of a bookworm

I have read one!

I ordered The Dim Sum of All Things by Kim Wong Keltner through the library's ILL service. It was a really good chick lit read. Lindsey is an ABC (American Born Chinese) living in San Francisco and struggling to find herself (basic premise of most of these novels) while working as a receptionist at a vegan mag and wondering what to do with her degree. Her take on the single life was dead-on regardless of background and I found her take on "Hoarders of All Things Asian" hysterical. Greige is my new word. Living with her grandmother presents some dating challenges, not to mention sensory ones what with all the Tiger Balm and food aromas mingling. After a trip to China with her grandmother, things start to fall together for Lindsey and there is the usual happy ending.
