The Young Will Remember by Eve J. Chung “A sweeping novel about a correspondent trapped behind enemy lines during the Korean War, and the women who help her find her way home, from the national bestselling author of Daughters of Shandong.” This sounds like something you’d be into, @Carrie Callaghan, because of your book. I don’t think I’ve read any books set during the Korean War, and very few set in the 1950s more generally. Have any of you read anything you’d recommend with these settings?

Mine was The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. Great characters and a really entertaining, complex plot — with fascinating folklore elements — that came together wonderfully at the end. Yours?

I’m reading the truly wonderful Whalebone Theatre by Julia Quinn (as well as smatterings of various nonfiction). You?

But how do you guys feel about Kristin Hannah and her historical fiction-type books? Or are they more 'historical period' books? 📚 I have only recently started reading some of her books, and they are always well-researched and detailed in their coverage of the topics she writes about. Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️

It's under the Classroom tab at the top of the page. The first couple of authors are in there now, @Julie Furxhi and @Clarissa Harwood! @Julia Quay, @Carrie Callaghan: You're both Book Cats (Level 3), so you're eligible for a spot in the directory too, so you can let readers know if you have books available and what they're about, your newsletter, social media, etc. Max. 250-ish words, first person, whatever links you like. @Marilee Aufdenkamp, I know you're busy with your presentation, and @Zane Dowling, I know you're waiting for your second edition to come out, but I didn't want you to think I've forgotten you 🙂 Whenever you're ready, send me your entry.
