October Novel Prep Challenge

When you get them, let me know one thing about them.

A while back I ordered a book on descriptions of hair and skin, to get away from the habit of describing non-Caucasian ethnic groups by foods (his olive skin, her mocha eyes, the girl's cinnamon complexion, etc. etc.) only to find that most non-Caucasian colors in the book were... food-based. Argh!!!

So let us know if either of these books manage to get away from describing the majority of humanity as tasty treats. I for one would appreciate it.
