Wether you want it or not, this book makes you reflect on the relationship you have with your mother.
I have all these thoughts and feelings that I can’t really put into words. Definitely a unique book. My overall feeling and especially going through these hard times we’ve been experiencing due to covid is that life’s too short and we should be more kind, empathetic, say and do all the things we wish before it’s too late.

This is not a happy story, rather a depressing one.
It’s a slow burner that goes around and around until we get to point of this novel. I enjoyed the somewhat character development of the main protagonist and how it was entwined with calligraphy. It was beautiful.
If you like books that have a misery theme from beginning to end, this one is for you.
Nonetheless it is important in the sense that educates people on the United States history of anti-Chinese violence and the Chinese Exclusion Act.

This audiobook was so much fun while also being extremely personal and soulful.
Simu’s narrating made it even better, it was almost like hanging out with a friend.
I’m really glad to have learned about his background and difficult journey into becoming an actor and as he mentions countless times a Marvel superhero.
Super recommend!

Feels like I’m late to the party but after seeing everyone raving about The Love Hypothesis I had to jump on this one
I love the feeling of being overwhelmed after finishing a book. The feeling of having been a part of something, part of the story that’s being told and The Island of Sea Women knocked me out in various forms.
This was my first book by Lisa See and from the first pages I could feel it would be a favorite. For a long time I wanted to know more about the fierce female divers of Jeju and this book gave me everything I needed.
You not only get to know the life of these brave women but also the environment they were in and everything they had to endure especially during the most tragic times.
In a way I think this book is a beautiful homage to the city of Jeju, the women divers and the April 3rd incident.
Once again I loved this buddy read with @hendrixsbookscorner
Loved it since the very first few pages and have easily become a fan of the Kaul brothers: Lan, Hilo and Shae. They are the main foundation of this book, heavily cemented on clan and brotherhood.
It also involves a lot of politics and that was my least favorite part especially when it seemed way too repetitive.
Nonetheless this was such a good ride although my heart was broken from the beginning. If you’ve read it you know what I mean
I started reading Malibu Rising last summer when I picked it up from the airport on my way to Tenerife. It felt like was the perfect read for my beach vacation.
Truth be told I was not into it, I felt the premise interesting but the delivery felt boring. I put it aside with about 200 pages to go.
Who knew that a summer later I couldn’t get enough of it. It felt like the perfect book and I felt sad for finishing it.
Indeed Taylor J. Reid never disappoints although I was afraid at first that Malibu Rising wasn’t for me.
This is another proof that books also have their right timing to be read, it doesn’t mean they are bad. You just need to give it another chance
