National Library of Korea | Seoul, Korea, Republic of (Library)

#Recommendsday request! I am hoping to travel to South Korea sometime in the next year or two, and of course want to read up before I go. Anyone have any book recommendations to do with Korea? I‘m specifically looking for history, but happy to branch out to other genres.

Susanita This historical novel wasn‘t my cup of tea, but it‘s pretty atmospheric.

Andrew65 This is such a brilliant series. Brilliantly written and with great lead characters, I think they only get better as you work through the series. I‘ve finished 9 of the 12 books. Thoroughly recommend this series but just a warning the murder methods are quite grissly! Well done 👏👏👏 (edited) 2y

CoverToCoverGirl Such high praise from you and @andrew65 on this series, I need to get to it! (edited) 2y

Andrew65 @CoverToCoverGirl Most definitely, one of my favourite crime series.But you need to be happy with gritty crime fiction. 2y

CoverToCoverGirl @Andrew65 is it more gruesome that Karin Slaughter, assuming you‘ve read her of course. 2y

Andrew65 @CoverToCoverGirl No not really, imho. But will be interesting to see what you think when you read it. My wife doesn‘t really like gritty but really enjoys these books. (edited) 2y

I've recently started to zendoodle/zentangle. It's a great way to relax and recenter my thoughts. It's so simple and easy to do. I get ideas and tutorials from Instagram and pinterest. I highly recommend it.

The Unwelcome Guest | Amanda Robson

I have a feeling this might be a wild ride with tons of twists and turns. Really hoping that I won't be disappointed with a predictable or anticlimactic conclusion. Luckily, I have great mother-in-laws in my life. Can't imagine dealing with such a horrid person.

Totally Folked: Small Town Romance Folktale retelling | Penny Reid

And with this second order, I‘m pretty caught up on the Winston Brothers series (was missing Beau) and the side stories that include prominent and side characters. My Reid purchases have been pretty steady lately and she‘s already taking up almost an entire shelf! These covers are probably my favourite. ❤️❤️ #recommendsday

Perfect romance to start February out with. This is such a great trilogy! I can‘t wait to get my hands on the finale: ‘Baby, Don‘t Go‘.

I love 🐝

If you could only recommend ONE book which would it be??? And why?!

#RecommendsDay

Have I said how much I love this mug?! 🖤🐝💛

vlwelser I'm going with this one because it's one of my favorites. It's historical fiction and it pulls you in so hard that you end up thinking vampires might be real.

The Historian

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vlwelser thank you!! 🧛🏻‍♂️ 3y

wanderinglynn Only 1?!? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Well, if I have to, I guess I‘d go with a story that‘s timeless yet enigmatic, a story that‘s versatile with both optimistic and pessimistic commentary on the future, a story that touches on friendship, love, technological progress, consumption, and ecology, and a story that asks fundamental questions about our existence.

The Little Prince

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @wanderinglynn sounds wonderful!! 💛 3y

The Woman They Could Not Silence: The Timeless Story of One Woman's Journey to Be Heard | Kate Moore

pick

#Recommendsday This is the true story of #ElizabethPackard, who was committed by her pastor husband to an insane asylum in 1860 for being too independent-minded. But Elizabeth would persevere and win not just her freedom, but changes in the laws, benefiting all people deemed “insane” and most importantly, married women. This book is a testament to the power of one strong, energetic individual with a mission. Very relevant to our times!
