Every Falling Star: The True Story of How I Survived and Escaped North Korea | 
pickA hard book to describe. It's interesting to read a true story from inside North Korea, and especially fascinating as Lee describes being forced to find his own way on the streets. Wondering what would happen to him kept me picking up this book, even when hard to read. All the same, the pace was slow, and it wrapped up a bit quickly for me, which left me unsatisfied. At the end, I felt glad that I'd learned something, but I wouldn't revisit.
This doesn't sound like a super cheerful book, but it's the next read for my staff book club. Also, I'm nice and cozy with what my husband is calling "snowquito," and I have a snow day tomorrow. You still can't see the socks, but trust me, they are Gryffindor socks. ?
New book!

Of course the plan to borrow (only) 2 #books failed 😅🤣😅🤣

I loved reading Every Falling Star. It was touching. I haven't read about a boy who became a street boy before.
I feel like each North Korean book I read has its own personality.
Diving into this one
"I thought hard about abeoji's words. It struck me as odd that starving people would offer up food to the Shan-shin-ryong-nim."
I have quite a few #bookssetinasia that I could have highlighted. I am fascinated by book about and coming out of North Korea and this looks like it will be a good one.
