Synopsis:
The Pillow Book of Lady Wisteria
Sano Ichiro, Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People, awakens from a turbulent dream into a real-life nightmare. Lord Matsudaira Mitsuyoshi, the shogun's cousin and heir, has been murdered after a night of debauchery in the city's pleasure quarter...
The matter requires Sano's personal attention--more personal than Sano at first imagines. For he soon discovers that Mitsuyoshi's companion for the evening was none other than the alluring Lady Wisteria, a woman whom Sano himself knew intimately before he was married to his beloved wife, Reiko. But the memory of Wisteria still stirs him, and it is with both dismay and relief that he learns she has vanished along with her pillow book, a diary that may contain valuable clues. The circumstances trouble him, as does the possibility that he and Wisteria might meet again with dangerous consequences...
The Princess Diaries - To the Nines
Mia has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn't speaking to her; someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com. Oh, and Michael, the love of her life, has dumped her.
But Mia has more on her mind than recruiting a new Princes Charming. Like solving a 400-year-old mystery that could mean BIG changes for Genovia. But is Mia really ready to throw away her tiara--and destroy a dynasty?
And what differences does any of it make now Michael's gone?

But now two years have passed since Jonathan's sudden death. Trying her best to get on with life, Angela takes her mum on a holiday to Greece--where she meets two men with an uncanny ability to connect with her.
Could Jonathan really have kept his promise?
Has he sent someone to replace him?
And how is she going to know who the right one is?

Determined to live a modern life, Fenfang works as a cleaner in the Young Pioneer's movie theatre, falls in love with unsuitable men and keeps her kitchen cupboard stocked with UFO noodles.

But what if her editor is wrong and their promise of true amore is for real? Will Kirsty be able to resist the kind of moonlit temptations she's been dreaming of for years, or is her relationship with Joe going, going, gondola?
If you think Casanova was a bad boy, just wait until you see what Cupid has in store for Kirsty...

Vanity Drive
Women are inherently vain!
No doubt about it. No apologies for it either. Many can't pass by a mirror without catching a glimpse of themselves. While most women go to great lengths to conceal their obsession with vanity, there are some who can't be bothered to hide it. Yvonne Lee is one of them.
In Vanity Drive, a collection of humorous essays, Yvonne muses candidly on women's desire to polish, pluck, prod and pamper every part of themselves to look perfect--sometimes to the extreme. Starkly frank and funny, Yvonne shares her joys and tears, fears and frustrations as she navigates through the vagaries of vanity...Victoria's Secret chicken cutlets for an envious cleavage, figure-casting corsets for a svelte silhouette, killer heels for sexy limbs, fake lash extensions, make-up obsessions or neurotic diet trends.
In essence, Vanity Drive is an intimate and hilarious yet heartfelt book that captures the timeless pursuit for physical perfection. Henri Bergson said, "The only cure for vanity is laughter and the only fault that is laughable is vanity."
