This was such an easy, fast read. I found it enjoyable even though it had sad undertones. I always seem to enjoy books about books.

Themes: Historical Fiction, Dual Timelines & Multiple POVs, Magical Realism

This book made me laugh, made me tear up, made me angry, but I loved it! Usually with mutilple POVs there‘s always “that” character that I dread when their name is on the chapter heading, but I loved Opaline (even though I kept wanted to call her Ovaltine), Martha and Henry. And Madame Bowden too! A solid pick to read if you want something truly magical!

Yeongju leaves her old life behind and opens a bookshop in Hyunam-Dong. She learns how to navigate her dreams along with reality and societal expectation, makes a group of friends, and everyone helps each other think about where they are in life and where they want to be.
I have to say that some bits felt particularly poignant as I am a bit fed up with work at the moment. So it definitely left me with some things to think about!

#DoubleSpin

I requested this #audiobook from the library based on the title and cover alone, but quickly began feeling like it was going to be my first DNF title of the year. I didn't love the male narrator and I went back and forth for a while on whether to continue with the book or not. The story turned out to be mildly cute; however, I would not necessarily recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐

Bailing on this, I may come back to this later, but I‘m not sure if the writing is for me. #hailthebail

Written by a Korean author and set within Seoul, if you‘re looking for a heartwarming story, you may enjoy this book. It is a gentle tale, waving many life principles throughout. At times, the story was a little too precious for me with its self-help esque cliches. At other times, it made me smile. Overall, it‘s quirky and sweet.

Late 1950s and Florence Green decides to open a bookshop in her small town - the first bookshop in town. But does everyone want one?

Shows the dynamics in a small town and how the people with power isn‘t necessarily the men with the powerful positions.
