pickThis historical fiction novel is essential a narrative memoir of the author's grandmother who moved from Korea to Japan in the 1930s to pursue an education. But rampant racism and anti-Korean sentiment in Japan made her dreams of becoming a teacher and later a nurse incredibly difficult to achieve without sacrificing her ideals and identity. It was also my #bookspin for #bookspinbingo this month
#FridayHappyReadingHour belatedly on Saturday morning! I did read some last night but the transition from work week to weekend was poor. 😅 But Friday Happy Reading Hour is a state of mind, really. And it starts now! ☺️☕️📚☀️
pickA fun read about women and friendship. Set in the 1920's the story follows four women through their first year that Oxford accepted women into degree granting programs. It has a serious side as WWI has just ended, but overall the novel is heartwarming.
My package is on its way and should be to @Aconight by December 15th! Happy Yule to all and thank you, @BookwormAHN , for hosting this awesome #winterwitchswap ❄️❄️❄️
pickIt is the time of the ‘Big Freeze‘ in England in the 60‘s. We follow 2 couples who live across a field from each other. Both young women are pregnant & are struggling with loneliness & isolation. The husbands, one an inexperienced farmer & the other a young doctor are also struggling but no one is sharing their discontent. I struggled for a bit remembering who was who (🤷🏻♀️) but, halfway through, the book took off & I couldn‘t stop reading it.
I started reading this book yesterday and I'm over a hundred pages into this chunkster. Gripping action and believable characters.
This is the second book I've read by this author. Count on me reading more of her writing and reporting on it here.
You can find my review of Midnight, by the same author, among my recent posts here.

pickI would‘ve loved this book even more as a child (I‘ve been a medieval nerd my entire life). Young Crispin must make his way in the world during a frightening time. When he meets a stranger in an abandoned village destroyed by the plague, his life changes in a way he never imagined.
pickThis was an interesting read. Although it didn‘t have me on the edge of my seat like I expected to. Overall it was very enjoyable to read. I would recommend if you‘re into supernatural reads. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
