Trying to get back on the reading grind after being consumed by Naruto for the past few months...
Opened my #StaycationInTime box and I love it! I chose South Korea and @sblbooks nailed it 😁 The bookmarks are so gorgeous 😍 I will be using the tumbler and pouches for everyday life. The snack is so good, the squishies are super cute, and the candle smells so good! I'm so excited about the books and especially the South Korea 101 book. Thank you @sblbooks for putting this together. And thank you @Chrissyreadit and @DinoMom for hosting this swap
Finally finished my last book for the #AtoZRomance challenge! It definitely want the best YA Romance I‘ve read, but it gave me X, so I‘ll take it!
I love the way my shelves look when the sun shines in the morning. #bookshelves
So cute. What if you had a fun night with a cute boy and then he just got whisked away at the end? What if a few months later you transfer from LA to Seoul so you can be with your mom as she looks after your grandmother and it turns out said boy goes to your school. And is a K-pop star?
Ok this took me longer to finish than it should have and I blame it on this week and my nerves bc this was seriously a really cute read! I think the narrator slightly grew on me but I just really liked the characters (very independent and idk cute) and the story was good (end had me a bit 🤨 but that's ok). Maybe I should read other kpopesque stories lol #koreadathon #yafiction #romance #friendship
My first read for #koreadathon, NGL, the narrator is kind of annoying me. I don't really like her voice, she's making the character kind of annoying 😂😂 but so far it's a decent start to a ya fiction title
It was a fun read but some of it was a bit predictable. The romance was sweet and cute, but this book didn‘t feel special to me personally.
“Jays karaoke sits at the center of a Koreatown strip mall between a Boba Land 2 and Sookie‘s Hair Emporium”. Not a bad opening line #firstlinefridays
My current read. 50 pages in so far. Not sure if this will be a favorite or not
This was really cute and beautifully written. Korean culture and the characters are the stars of this book. Jenny is a great protagonist, and is the heart of this story.
The book also tackles some issues on the entertainment industry in South Korea, which provide points to ponder without being too heavy-handed in its delivery.
All in all, a solid read. 💖
⭐: 5

This book made me so happy, it was pure joy to read. The food descriptions and sense of place in Korea were so well done. I loved the characters and I loved Jenny's self confidence.
Did I enjoy this YA book about a cello prodigy who meets a K-pop star and what happens next? Yes, yes I did. It‘s a fun, super cute romance that leaves you smiling. The characters are great as is the setting, much of the story takes place in Seoul South Korea, and fans of K-pop will find a lot to like. On sale 7/13/21.
