Kuang Yale student Lily Chen arrives in Taipei for the summer looking for family, culture and connection, hoping that learning Chinese will bring her closer to a heritage she’s never fully understood. Instead, her classes are gruelling, her roommate is unbearable, an extremely awkward trip to the hot springs sparks vicious gossip and then her grandfather dies. Grieving and completely adrift, Lily begins a funny, devastating search for answers about herself, her family and what it actually means to call somewhere home. All over one unforgettable summer in Taipei. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her, Noemí Taboada travels to High Place, a remote house in the Mexican countryside. There she finds a menacing but alluring husband, his deeply unsettling family, visions of blood and doom and a house that seems to be invading her dreams. As Noemí starts digging into the family’s past, she uncovers stories of violence, madness and some VERY dark secrets hidden inside High Place. And getting into the house might prove considerably easier than getting back out. Gothic horror set in glamorous 1950s Mexico. AKA the PERFECT October Book of the Month !!!!! ******************************************************** A Halloween cocktail, two brilliant books, a room full of witchy women AND we’re making magic wands on a Thursday night, exactly as nature intended !!!!!!!!!!!
