Rachel (mimbza) | 697 comments The Girl with Seven Names A North Korean Defector’s Story by Hyeonseo Lee The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defector’s Story as the title suggests is a memoir by Hyeonseo Lee about her escape from North Korea. It is a gripping read which tells the story of the difficulties of life in North Korea, of the terrifying ordeal of escape, and the adjustment to life outside the regime. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

What We Remember Will Be Saved A Story of Refugees and the Things They Carry by Stephanie Saldana
A heartbreaking but impactful set of true life narratives focussed on 'refugees' and the lives they left behind.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments With the 18th book in Lisa Regan's Josie Quinn series on my NetGalley TBR, I thought I'd better get the basics with #1, Vanishing Girls. 4.5★s and looking forward to more.

Not a bad collection. But expected far more from her.

Boy of Chaotic Making (Whimbrel House, #3) by Charlie N. Holmberg
Though this third book didn't match up to the earlier two in the series, I still liked it quite a lot. Good for historical fantasy readers, but not a standalone novel.

Andrea | 2164 comments I think The Conversion by AA Amanda Lohrey is my third novel in as many months that includes the staging of a play as a key component of the plot. I'm really not that keen on theatre myself, to be honest. However, here the play is significant without taking up too many pages. Overall I enjoyed the novel very much.
