Did I fail miserably at #14weeks14books again this year? Why, yes I did. Why do you ask? 😂 I read 7 of the planned 14: Absolution, Grown Ups, Malinche, Last Days of Summer, Wave, Wild Dark Shores, and July and August. Who knows when I‘ll ever actually get to the other 7! @Liz_M
so-soI didn‘t love this book as much as most of you did. The narrator has been looking for her identity ever since her Korean mother died of cancer.
I loved the delicious Korean food descriptions and I could relate to the taking care of a dying parent but there were so many other subjects, that didn‘t really work for me. Less is more, I‘d say in this case.
Oh and I wish we had an H Mart where I live…it sounds amazing. #14weeks14books book 8

Edited by the twenty-sixth Poet Laureate of the U.S., Ada Limon,each poem engages the reader with the individual poet‘s local landscape.There are fifty diverse voices.The book features a wide range of fauna,vegetation,insects & animals, as well as human responses to the environment.#14weeks14books #week3
