I loved reading so much that I would finish a novel in less than two days time...then again I didn't eat much...or leave the house often. In fact, when I was in grade five I actually got in trouble for reading in class.

I have also (to my dismay) discovered that eating and socializing is a necessity for balancing the love/hate triangle that is: school, work, and
And so, after swimming through that pile of dusty, unread, lonely little books, I have chosen my read for the week.
"Empress" by Shan Sa...because going back to my Chinese roots and reading about how China could so have a female emperor would fulfill my Chinese status...that is if reading a fiction book could do that....
Also, why does the cover make her look like the girl in the Grudge?
