Rock Paper Tiger

On October 3rd, we met at my house to discuss
"Rock Paper Tiger" by Lisa Brackmann. I chose this book in an attempt to (finally) pick a book that wasn't about food or sex! Instead, this was an action/thriller novel about an female Iraq war veteran living in China, with lots of plot twists, war flashbacks, and forays into the virtual gaming world.

My mission was mostly accomplished -- it was definitely a different kind of book -- but there did still seem to be a lot of talk about dumplings in the book... ;)

Speaking of food, we feasted on yummy bread from Tartine, salad, mushroom-fontina quiche, and for dessert: chocolate-caramel macadamia nut tart and mini cupcakes!
