I've written before in these short monthly introductions that the shelves are overflowing (or bristling or stuffed to the gills), but I see now that I didn't know what full really meant.There are so many good books out (or coming out in September) that I'm starting to worry about the weight capacity of our display tables. On your mark, get set, GO. Let the reading frenzy begin.

The Mirage
The Orphan Master's Son
by Adam Johnson
To read Adam Johnson’s new novel The Orphan Master’s Son is to
plunge headlong into the terrifying and creepy world of North Korea.
Really, who sets a book in North Korea? An obsessive researcher, Johnson
(who took six years to write the book) reveals a setting that is
hauntingly realistic—so real, in fact, this reader couldn’t shake the
lingering images of mind-stripping torture, dark-of-night kidnappings,
and punishing interrogations... read the rest of Wendee's review.
