Factory Girls, Enna Burning

I read Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China by Leslie Chang. Not bad. Good writing. Worth reading if you are interested in the topic, pass on it if you aren't. With a crisp writing no-nonsense voice, Chang explores the lives of young women in China who have left their rural countryside homes to work for the factories of China. I found it interesting for the most part---the boring parts I skipped.

I'm also breezing through Enna Burning by Shannon Hale. Much, much better than Austenland, thank you Shannon. This genre is where Hale shines. I ruined some of the book for myself because I already read the next in the series so I know the storyline of this one. Nevertheless, not bad.
