Another A++ reading vlog!! Loved the fiona moment 🥰

A few Autumn / mildly spooky recommendations: - Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman - A Skinful of Shadows by Frances Hardinge - The Starless Sea by Erin Morgensten - Deeplight by Frances Hardinge

love seeing book stores in other countries like Korea. Thank you for allowing us to tag along with you.

cute, soft, warm, aesthetic, and wonderful

your vlogs are so calming! such a good watch on a rainy day. i miss seoul so much! ❤️

A couple books I recommend to help prevent your reading rut! 1. The Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown You follow two women one is, Alice who is trying to figure out life as a housewife after "quitting" her job, getting married to her short-term boyfriend Nate, moving from NYC to a suburban neighbourhood, and trying to keep a hold on all the lies she's been telling. Nellie, our second leading lady is a 1950s housewife slowly discovering the man she married isn't who she thought he was. 2.The Edge of Anything by Nora Shalaway Carpenter Sage, a high school volleyball star just got the worst news of her life. Len, the high school designated weirdo believes a traumatic event is all her fault. The two girls bump into one another in the school hallway and change each other's lives. ( I stayed up all night to finish it, it was so good!!) 3.Various Positions by Martha Schabas Georgia is accepted into Canada's preeminent ballet school, she meets new friends, gets to dance every day, and believes it is the perfect escape from her dysfunctional family. Only things begin to take a turn for the worst when she starts giving diet advice to another girl, sees things with one of her teachers, and regrets going to parties. (Not for the faint of heart!) 4.Harley in the Sky by Akemi Dawn Bowman Harley is a wannabe static trapeze artist living in Las Vegas with her parents who run a circus called Teatro Della Notte. One fight about her future later, she's on the road with stolen music and her parent's rivals. Harley must learn how to make new friends while trying to keep the one she has back home, that no one is giving handouts, and maybe, just maybe she'll have the chance to fall in love. (This book handled mental heath like I've never seen before!)

I normally don’t read romance but there have been so many glowing reviews from other non-romance readers and ughhh I loved it.

I'm so glad I saw your review of Mexican Gothic. I just wasn't getting a handle on the story from other reviews - just that fungi are involved (and I keep thinking that may have been a spoiler despite hearing it from multiple reviewers). Based on your review, I'm going to pass up on this one - so Thank you!

Ahhh I love these little reading vlogs! Definitely makes me want to just go out and read in one of my local parks (well once I've finished all my assessments for classes). My current recommendation I think would be a book called The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, which is about four friends who live in a retirement (think all 70+) village in England and are obsessed with solving cold cases until a real life murder happens for them to solve. I haven't finished it yet but its written really well and is super amusing, which I think sets it apart from other murder mystery novels which I feel can be a bit too serious for my liking.

hey im really curious about the pricing range of cafes and book stores that you visited in this vlog because we have these kind of stores a lot in Istanbul but they are so overpriced that i cant even get in those stores🥺

This had such a good mood! Btw you can send packages and letters it's just either really expensive or takes forever, so that's why the post office might have discouraged you? I've sent packages through EMS (it's min. 25,000 won though) and I've had friends send letters by boat, but it takes 3 months :,-(

I also read Mexican Gothic! Agree about wishing there had been more immersion into Mexico, but I overall enjoyed it. The more heavy topics re: race were unexpected and uncomfortable, but I appreciated them, because they added more weight/gravitas and spoke to genuine issues around colorism, colonization, etc and made it more serious than your usual Gothic novel.
