    I am sorry I missed you all in San Diego. I am the Game RT councilor, and all my meetings had conflicts. I loved seeing this list. Calico Palace was one of my favorites! I bet I read it four times. Women is truly an excellent book. 

    I can add one title that I just read. It is a YA Historical Fiction/Murder mystery by Stacey Lee set in Chinatown in the 1930s. The title is Kill Her Twice
