September #BookSpinBingo wrap up.
Hard to see because of my sticker choices 😂 but I finished 4 books this month. 3 in the second line, and 1 in the bottom line.

• Cold Granite (#Roll100)
• A Single Swallow (#FoodAndLit)
• The Other Man (#BookSpin)
• The Stationmaster‘s Cottage (#DoubleSpin)

And since I finished the Bookspin today, I am all ready to start spooky season tomorrow with #Scarathlon 🎃🦇

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!! 2d

4/5 ⭐️ While I thought this book was beautifully written, the first 2/3 were really slow for me. The last 1/3 was fantastic though! I do wish the fantasy aspect was more evenly spread throughout the book, but still wonderful historical fiction. I heard the sequel is quite dark so I'm probably going to wait a bit to pick that one up.

This is a well-used cookbook in my kitchen. You might not expect a 1966 cookbook written by an American to have authentic recipes, but most of the ingredients and methods are very close to those my Chinese parents use.

kwmg40 It‘s not good at teaching technique, though. For Cantonese cooking technique, I recommend https://www.madewithlau.com. 6d

These are some of the dishes I cooked this month — stir-fried baby Shanghai bok choy, Yangzhou fried rice, and steamed dumplings.

I‘ve been reading the Hugo-nominated short stories, 4 of which are by Chinese authors. Worldcon, where the awards will be given, is in China this year.

kwmg40 @Catsandbooks @BarbaraBB @rabbitprincess Thanks! The dumplings take a long time to make but I don't mind spending a few hours with a good audiobook while making them. 4d

SOOO MUCH FUN!
An epic quest for an illusive cure to save the children of Ku-fu which inlcudes ghosts, magic, trickery, romance, fantastic beasts and quite a bit of wine ?

My cheeky second pick for #foodandlit China, as this book is a "Novel of an ancient China that never was"
It's of course based on Chinese mythology, but there is no need to know any of it to enjoy the story (you'll feel clever if you do though ;))

So the ending bummed me out a little bit…
But overall I really enjoyed this book for #FoodAndLit #China

The story is mainly told by 3 ghosts, men who met during the war and made a pact to meet in the same place every year following their deaths. Now that they are all together again, they reflect on the time they knew each other, and the woman who tied them together.

JazzFeathers This sounds so strange. But in a good way. 1w
Catsandbooks Interesting concept! 🇨🇳 1w
