Interesting Stargazer, it seemed to me the author was often mentioning food in the memoir … but I liked how it fit in with her whole Korean heritage theme.
April was a bit different here with weather this year as well. But now we might be finally done with the snowflakes! How is your spring going in London?
I’ll be stopping by your site soon to see what’s up. Cheers. Happy reading to you.

Hi Lesley. How was your trip?!? Can’t wait to hear about it. Hope it went well but the weather surely has been crazy. I’ll stop by your site later this week to see. And no I have not read any of Boyne’s books but I am curious and will check out your review. Hmm. I’m not sure why I’ve waited on his books but wasn’t sure of his book Invisible Furies but perhaps I need to check it out.
I think you’d like H Mart book as an audio listen. The author reads it and it goes by pretty quickly. There’s a bit of a distance to Mothering Sunday that makes it perhaps not as good as Atonement but it has a few layers. Licorice Pizza is a bit “out there ” but still I am glad I saw it, just to see. Enjoy your week! More snowflakes tonight?! yikes.

Yeah Harvee – It is a pretty good read. She goes through a lot for a young person but she’s pretty grounded & learns much in the process. Check it out if you get a chance. There’s much about her Korean heritage that made it interesting to me.

The weather has been crazy, hasn’t it?! We had flurries and hail while visiting our daughter in Franklin, TN and came home (well, to Seattle) to a wintery mix. More hail here at home when we returned. At least things are looking nice and green.

My book club is reading Crying in H Mart later this year. I need to decide if I want to read or listen.

I’ll also have to look for a copy of Mothering Sunday. I loved Atonement (the first time I read it; not so much the second time). I like the idea of a novel set in one day. Mrs. Dalloway and The Hours are two favorites and they are both set in a solitary day.

I’m not sure if my husband and mom would be interested in watching Licorice Pizza, but I plan to watch.

Just finished posting my review for The Absolutist by John Boyne. Outstanding novel! Have you read any of his books? He’s quite the writer.

Thanks Bryan for the link! I actually had to find an international link from Canada — but I got it! And watched her whole set! I liked the band’s music … wow she is pretty interesting, her lyrics are a bit hard to decipher but I liked the vibe to her tunes, not too hard, contemplative perhaps. I’m glad you filled me in on this Coachella live rebroadcast. Entertaining to watch & listen!! thx

Here’s the link. Channel 3. https://youtu.be/1fB87Hesjkw

She’s on the Youtube channel right now, in a rebroadcast from yesterday.

Hey Mareli, thanks & good to hear from you. Yeah sometimes the days seem to get by us in a hurry! Crazy that April is flying by. I plan to stop by soon and see what you’re up to. All is good here for the moment. Knock on wood. Have a great week.
