I really enjoyed this book! The main character subleases from a nurse who works nightshift, so they share an apartment but never meet… until events bring them together. I thought the pacing of the story was really good and the characters had a good amount of depth. Very enjoyable!

2✨ I wouldn‘t say this book is bad, but I was expecting more. It was a nice cozy read with a bit of a mystery. It seemed to repeat itself a lot, especially in when Lydia should tell her daughter the truth about her dad. I really enjoyed the atmosphere this book provided of small town life close to the ocean. #ReadYourKindle

Melismatic I‘ve watched a few dramas bc they often have idol pop stars from music groups I like in them. Very velveeta cheesey but usually very fun. 5h

peanutnine I've actually never really watched any k dramas 4h

willaful I started one that a friend recommended and I did enjoy it, but I'm really bad about watching things with subtitles. I don't remember what it was called but each episode was a different period in the life of the hero/heroine (started when she was a little girl, IIRC) and they were played by different people each time, which was a little hard to get used to! I think loss of memory was involved. 4h

PuddleJumper Anyone that likes the book would probably enjoy Korean Odyssey, I could see a lot of similarities with reading.

My absolute faves that I rewatch are Semantic Error, university enemies to lovers, and Kingdom, historical political drama with zombies.
4h

PuddleJumper Other supernatural themed romance dramas I would recommend are Tale of the Nine Tailed Fox, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, and Alchemy of Souls.

peanutnine Helpful links, thanks! The author's note was actually included in the audiobook, which I was surprised at as that is not always the case. It is interesting to see what parts were interpreted! I loved all the creatures mentioned but sometimes I wasn't sure how to picture them 4h

PuddleJumper I never read author notes 😅 4h

peanutnine Oooo gorgeous art! I did love the banter. And I loved the world building! How all the creatures lived among the humans and interacted with the gods was interesting 4h

PuddleJumper I found it very shallow and the main characters intensely irritating. I enjoyed the mythology and wanted more of that and world building and less of the main characters 🤣 4h

AnnCrystal That artwork 🤩🎨🖌️💝. 3h

Our girl Kiva could be a bit thick and gullible at times, but we‘ll blame that on her life circumstances more than anything. With that being said, I loved this book…the whole series was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh this was sweet.
I needed something light and whilst the subject matter seems full of sadness, it's actually really uplifting and has a sense of happiness and love.
A truly cute little story that offers a different perspective on death.
