In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom | Yeonmi Park
post image
Pickpick

Well, this is disappointing: a book I loved listening to while painting my house but found out some problematic info about the author after finishing it. North Korean defector Yeonmi Park has been accused of fabricating some of this story. I‘m not sure what to believe but this is a book for my deep dive into North Korea. I‘m looking forward to Nothing to Envy next from @Singout ‘s #alspine list. A brutal story of survival. Conflicted pick

JenniferEgnor One of the books I checked out today is a memoir of life under dictatorship in Korea and escape. 5h
Singout Wow. That‘s a really good example of what a complete split there is between political analyses. 5h

Chelsea.Poole @JenniferEgnor what is the title? Have you seen the documentary Beyond Utopia? 5h

Chelsea.Poole @Singout have you read this one? Seeing Nothing to Envy on your list encouraged me to watch Beyond Utopia while waiting to start it in January. I‘ve also read that North Korean troops are being sent to the front lines in Russia, recently, which was news to me. Just feels like I should be paying more attention than I have been. So I thank you for the encouragement. 5h
Singout No, I haven‘t. And yes, North Korean involvement ups the ante even more. It‘s very frightening. 4h
JenniferEgnor @Chelsea.Poole Escape from Camp 14. Have not seen that. 3h
Chelsea.Poole @JenReadsAlot @JenniferEgnor oh are you two doing a buddy read of this? I‘ll add it to my list. There‘s quite a few.

The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defectors Story | Hyeonseo Lee

4⭐️ I quite enjoyed this #bookclub read. For me, it went by quickly, as the chapters were fairly short and straightforward. What I enjoyed the most was the description of life inside of North Korea, due to closed off nature of the country. It was a very intriguing read. #2024 #nonfiction #northkorea #memoir

The five stars are not so much for the writing, as for the author‘s courage to speak out, and expose the grim realities of a world that, for many of us, it‘s too far away.

She has seen hell, and yet, it didn‘t kill her kindness, her compassion, and her loving spirit. And for that, she deserves respect.

Running with the Horses: young readers edition | Alison Lester

Bangalow op shop. Done over during a break in the Byron Writer‘s Festival. I love me some cheap vintage! Then I put it all in the air bnb washing machine and part way through the cycle it stopped working! When the owner returned from her time away, she helped me figure out how to open it and then washed and dried the clothes for me. Grand total $29. Much cheaper than when I was there last year. No prices on anything.
