Welcome to Litsy!

I think this is going to be a running theme in this series

I meant to read this for #FoodandLit #SouthKorea but never did! I was slightly apprehensive about keeping people & events straight (it is a 17th-c. novel with stories inside stories). It's still early days, but it's been fine so far. Even fun! The end-notes are quite helpful...

From at erinreadstheworld on Instagram. I‘m going to post each page for those of you not on instagram. This is the fourth page of 6. For those of you on Instagram, here‘s the link:

Sure, your TBR may be teetering, but these Korean books are the kind that deserve a spot right at the top! From deeply personal memoirs to stories soaked in metaphor and magic, this list has something that will speak to every kind of reader.

If you‘ve been curious about K-lit, this is the perfect time to read.

2.75/5⭐️ Took me way too long to finish this. I liked it but I didn‘t love it, especially not enough to finish it any faster. Some of the material I didn‘t care about and some of it was kinda weird. I did enjoy it though and would still recommend.

It was so refreshing. Nothing really happened but in the meantime everything happened

This was such an amazing novel. It had real growth of the characters. It show the importance of second chances. It‘s one of those books you want to read again and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so gentle and comforting to read. I really liked the discussions that stemmed from various books the characters were reading - particularly regarding work, and also about happiness/pleasure

The newsies 🥰

The ending definitely made this one.
I knew it would be heavy in tone before I read it, and for the majority it's a hard read about hard lives, but the ending has a beauty to it, even if you see it coming, and it wouldn't have the same impact if the plot had been gentler, if different choices were made. 1/?
