Hooked by first chapter. Now cannot stop reading this, totally a page turner. A great book to wake me from reading slump.

pickYoojin Grace Wuertz is a local author for me! Saw her speak at a BooksNJ panel, and liked her so much that I bought her book the same day. I had no idea about this time in SK history, and the story interested me enough to continue looking into it. It‘s a real page turner, I couldn‘t put it down!
pickFinished this month‘s #readaroundtheworld book 🇰🇷
I‘m interested in #southkorea so I might try to fit in a translated book this month too 📚

so-soThe writing and storyline do not live up to the setting and characters. But still recommended if you, like me, can't get enough of books about Korea.
Feeding my Korea obsession. Also, one of the novels on the First Novel longlist this year.
pickOne of my favorites of 2017! It's a little slow going at first but this is a wonderful debut novel from Yoojin Grace Wuertz. It's about class, love, money, motherhood, & family as three young people try to change their lives in Seoul in 1978 during a time of political change and social discontent.
bailedThe story seems quite interesting, but the writing was not good enough for me to continue past around page 35.
Hi. My name is Blair and I eat a lot 😝
I am fully taking advantage of a night with nothing planned for tomorrow morning. I thought about sleeping...but then I looked at my bookshelf! Yay late night reading 🤗
