Today: Finish the book tagged above. Work on some darning and crochet to help work through the post-book depression made worse by the fact that the next book isn‘t due until June. 😭 Also, clean and start on my research project that‘s due tomorrow. 😬

“The mortal realm of Iseung disgusts him, but there is one feature—and, mind you, one feature only—that he finds he does not loathe with the entire expanse of his bitter soul. Coffee.”
Obviously, I *must* love this book. :D

panThis book is all tell and no show. We're told about the interesting and amazing histories of the two main characters, yet the characters, a fallen god and a man-killing fox, sound and act like teenagers.
The world was interesting, if underdeveloped, and I liked the mix of Korean mythology and urban fantasy tropes.

pickThis Korean mythology inspired K-drama in book form is quite entertaining—it has an angry, fallen god with a love for coffee, a gumiho in hiding who loves to annoy said god, & a shocking series of murders that promises to throw the world into darkness if the demon responsible isn‘t found & sent back to where it came from. Drama, drama, & more drama with a healthy dose of banter, smirking, eye rolling & falling in love (maybe) make for a fun read.
Starting this one today!
Once I stop staring at its gorgeous cover…
