Connie The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter

(This book features a collection of revisioned fairy tales. Some people praise it as some feminist masterpiece, but I found most of the stories very pedestrian, with the exception of The Bloody Chamber which is a retelling of Bluebeard.)

Connie A Book of Common Prayer by Joan Didion

(It's been years since I read this; it might be time to give it another go. As I recall it's themes were similar to those of Allende and Garcia Marquez, only with more allegory and less post-colonial critique.)

Connie A Valentine: A Bouquet Of Poetry For Lovers by Stefan Rudnicki

(This book is a great introduction to romance poetry by well-known poets/writers.)

Connie All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome by Kathy Hoopmann

(I love this book. It helped me and my stepson, who has aspergers, relate in the early days of our relationship.)

Connie Sweet Dreams at the Goodnight Motel by Curtiss Ann Matlock

(I've had this book for a while on the TBR shelf, it's #6 in a series. I probably should start with #1 in the series.)
