SusanI live in Maryland, work as a scientist, was born and grew up in India, and have a house full of books. I read across categories: a lot of fiction, any good writing, novels by and about women, science fiction, fantasy, South Asian novels, and nonfiction. For about twenty years, in my spare time, I managed the now-defunct SAWNET (South Asian Women's NETwork) website. Some of the reviews from that site are republished here.

Lisa travels frequently and widely, and can whip up anything from Malaysian short ribs to a British mince pie at a moment's notice.
ReetaI was born in the US and grew up in Fargo (yes,"Fargo!"). I've lived in a dozen cities and a few countries but call the southwestern US and Goa home now. With degrees in geography and public health, I am an academic librarian who's gone over to the dark side (a.k.a. the library industry). I'm a news junkie but make time for music (mostly Indian), movies (mostly Indian unless it's the original Star Wars), collecting (and sometimes reading) South Asian fiction and long drives along the ocean and through the desert.
