#Read2025

Finished earlier in the week, it was one of my 6 #Roll100 picks for May (#7: Any Memoir). I really enjoyed the audiobook read by Ina herself. When I first started food blogging in 2008, I joined a group called Barefoot Bloggers & we cooked 2 of her recipes a month. In 2017 another group I was with cooked a recipe each week for 6 months, so you can say I‘ve cooked with her A LOT! I‘ve also watched her shows & follow her on Instagram & ⬇️

Book #7 of 2025: “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” by Baek Sehee

What a relatable title. If I had read this book 10-15 years ago it would have changed my life. If you‘re relatively new to your mental health journey, I highly recommend this book. It‘s relatable, reflective, and has solid advice on dealing with depression and anxiety.

February 2025 Book #7

Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️

A little late but here are my #Roll100 picks for May. I decided to go with all 6 numbers as 2 of them are for other challenges. Wish me luck!

#40: Any ARC: Look Before You Leap
#3: Any ARC: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic
#30 Any Audio: A Proposal to Die For
#7: Any Memoir: Be Ready When the Luck Happens
#70: Any Children‘s Book: The Racketty-Packetty House

January 2025 Book #7
My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️

January 2025 Book#6
I think the opening of this story was amazing but then it was like forgotten, not well connected with the rest of the story. I liked the characters and the mystery/horror that was hidden in these mountains that seem possessed Nick. But then, the story was dragged to explain all this possession which concluded with an ambiguous open ending. I think the idea was terrific but maybe needed some editing? 3⭐️

#7 of 2025! The Gray Man No. 11! Here we go again!Amazing Book!! ♥️

Following in the steps of @TheBookHippie I searched Pinterest for Literally My Character, but I‘m a Gemini and make my own rules, so I picked the first 8 instead of the first six. Also, replace “cat” with “dog” on the middle one.
