This honestly should be a movie!

Such an incredible memoir of the authors childhood and what it was like for him growing up in Vietnam before and after the U.S. left the country. I could not put this down and re read so many of his stories that were so hard to fathom what that could have been like to experience. It really opened my eyes to what living in communism was like then and so devastating all the babies left behind after this war from Americans. An absolute must read!

My fiction grab bag finally arrived from HPB. Interesting selection and all hardback. It should be fun diving into these.

A graphic novel I picked up on a whim, and was glad I did. This is a memoir of a young boy who has to move from the US to Saigon in the early years of the Vietnam War. His father is a Vietnamese diplomat and becomes the personal interpreter to the Prime Minister of South Vietnam. It was fascinating to read of his experiences.

Two books from my stacks set in Vietnam for #GoodnightSaigon The tagged book is in my #TBR pile & is set in 1975 during the fall of Saigon & I hope to get to it one of these days. The Beauty of Humanity Movement is set in Hanoi & I read it back in 2011 for a book tour review. I paired it with pho (back when I ate meat) 😉as one of the main characters has a pho cart.

BarbaraBB That last one sounds and looks great! 5y
Lindy Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoyed 5y
