  Get hooked with The Wine Club. 
  Most people can’t tell a good wine from a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck. At least that’s what Reggie and Audrey decide one night while celebrating their daughters’ election to the elite Mohave High Pom Squad. But cheerleading in Scottsdale is expensive, and both women are strapped for cash and going through a rough patch. Reggie’s husband announced he’s gay and wants a separation. Audrey’s husband is entering rehab. 
  What if they could earn money by selling cheap wine in fancy bottles? How hard could it be? 
  As they perfect their high-stakes con, they enlist the help of Cynthia, an ex-Mrs. Arizona with her own problems. When the money flows, their greed and mistrust grow…as does the realization that they are now a team of real-life female criminals. 
  The Wine Club is a witty, wicked tale of suburban crime. With its dark humor, creative satire, a twisted plot, and female criminals who "break bad," this suspenseful novel is filled with surprising twists and turns, and one you won't put down.

  The Crimson Petal and the White...

  A teenage prostitute ascends through the many layers of Victorian London society in this highly acclaimed “big, sexy, bravura a novel” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times).  London, 1870s. At the heart of this panoramic narrative is a young woman’s struggle to lift her body and soul out of the gutter. Sugar, a nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, yearns for a better life. Her ascent through the strata of Victorian society begins with the egotistical perfume magnate William Rackham. Infatuated with Sugar, William’s patronage brings her into the circles of his family and milieu: his wife who barely overcomes chronic hysteria to make her appearances during “the Season”; his mysteriously hidden-away daughter, left to the care of minions; his pious brother, foiled in his devotional calling by his lust for the Widow Fox; as well as preening socialites, drunken journalists, untrustworthy servants, vile guttersnipes, and whores of all stripes and persuasions.   Twenty years in its conception, research, and writing, The Crimson Petal and the White is teeming with life, rich in texture and incident, with breathtakingly real characters. "Cocky and brilliant, amused and angry, [Faber] is rightfully earning comparisons to observer extraordinaire Charles Dickens. . . . It's hopeless to resist" (Entertainment Weekly).

  During his lifetime, Basho was recognized for his works in the collaborative haikai no renga form; today, after centuries of commentary, he is recognized as the greatest master of haiku (then called hokku). He is quoted as saying, “Many of my followers can write hokku as well as I can. Where I show who I really am is in linking haikai verses.” This short anthology of haiku by Basho and his pupils features poetry in their original Japanese, with translations and commentary in English by Basil Hall Chamberlain, a professor of Japanese at Tokyo Imperial University. - Summary by Wikipedia and Rob Board
