I finished 117 Days Adrift by Maurice and Maralyn Bailey. FIVE STARS!
(I also realized why I was able to find the book in my school library in Busan -- The Baileys' rescuers were the crew of a Korean fishing boat out of Busan, who took wonderful care of them and delivered them to Honolulu.)

I've got 2:
Where The Lilies Bloom - Vera and Bill Cleaver (4 stars)
Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea - Steven Callahan (4 stars)
Thankyouverymuch!

Thanks!

I finished The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Challenging but compelling. Five Stars!!! Has anyone else doing the challenge read this? I recommend it highly.
Thanks for adding it, Teri!!! Sorry to blather on.
Got them Brian.
Sharon, I got 3 of them, but I can't find Damaged. Are you sure that's the name of the book?
