Michael's Pick
In the Miso Soup, by Ryu Murakami and translated by Ralph McCarthy, begins with narrator Kenji, a Tokyo "nightlife guide," recalling his encounter with an American client, Frank.
As he leads Frank through the seedier parts of Toyko nightlife, Kenji begins to feel there’s something off about Frank. Is he the serial killer roaming the streets?

Jacqueline's Pick
The Course of True Love (and First Dates) by Cassandra Clare is an account of Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood's romance told from Magnus’s point of view. Magnus is an immortal, and an immensely powerful warlock, and Alec Lightwood is a Shadowhunter.
Before their alliance, many Shadowhunters killed Downworlders for any small infraction. So, Magnus is taken aback when Alec asks him to go on a date.
If you want to learn more about Alec’s and Magnus’ relationship or are just looking for a book filled with humor and romance, you should read this short story.
Pairing: Ethiopian Beef Tibs, which Alec and Magnus share on their first date.
