Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology
$14.93
I've already talked about this book a lot over the last year, but I thought I'd give it one more year-end plug, not only because I wholeheartedly support the vision behind this anthology -- Asian American comic book superhero stories by Asian American creators -- but also because I've gotten to know the editors and creators behind the book, and consider them friends. Also, I'm a big geek.
Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen
$10.04

Of Bees and Mist
$16.50
Erick Setiawan's debut is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women under one family tree over a period of thirty years -- their galvanic love and passion, their shifting alliances, their superstitions and complex domestic politics -- and places them in a mythical town where spirits and spells, witchcraft and demons, and prophets and clairvoyance are an everyday reality.
Ash
$11.55Malinda Lo's first young adult novel is described as a lesbian retelling of the Cinderella fairly tale. In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. But it's not Prince Charming that comes to save her. It's Kaisa, the King's Huntress, who reawakens Ash's capacity for love -- and her desire to live. It's a tale about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.
