For your Oriental category I'd suggest Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah, I have only read the teen version of the book Chinese Cinderella but it was very good. Also Mao's last dancer by Li Cunxin looks good. I'm about to read The Year of the Shanghai Shark by Zhi Hong Mo which is set in ... Oh, KoolAidMom, I think you'll like Falling Leaves, though the one I read was called Chinese Cinderella. It made me very angry (in a good way). ... - Georgette Heyer
The Temptation of Rory Monahan - Elizabeth Bevarly
When Jayne Met Erik - Elizabeth Bevarly
Secret Cinderella - Dani Sinclair
Decent Exposure - Philippa Ashley
 ... but you learn a lot about China and it's customs. It's a sad book, just to warn you. There's a shorter version called Chinese Cinderella which only focuses on her childhood ... Pretty good, filthy, have to say it got a bit boring towards the end but definitely a worthwhile read. Cleverly done.

ThePam, I live near St Louis, the tracts sound neat! For billythefish, Chinese Cinderella was much better than Falling leaves}. Same story, but just a shorter version about her childhood written for young adults. Loved it but couldn't get into Falling Leaves.
Hated Cloud Atlas, The Magus, Notes on a Scandal, most of the books on any ... To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I really enjoyed studying that in Year 10.
Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah was pretty eye-opening when I was in a younger year.
And, because I'd kick myself if I didn't:
Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban (etc) by J.K. Rowli ...
