books i want to read before my bookshop opens! 📖

One of my favorite Korean books is Almond by Horn Wyong and I had the chance to listen to her talk about Almond and she was in conversation with Ella Lee who wrote Bean Bag.

I haven't read all of her books extensively, but the ones I have read, including Heaven in particular, I adored.

Obviously, I'm not mixed race, but there is a lot of that identity and that feeling that you're never quite part of just one culture that Emily explores and that I personally resonate a lot with as I'm reading her story.

So, Beim Back is one of my favorite books of this year, and the author wrote Jaded, and Jaded is Etel's debut novel, which I haven't been able to read yet.
