Good morning!
The book slump is still kicking my arse, as i’m yet again 5books behind.. but here’s the books i’ve finished lately!
Soyangri book kitchen, Kim Jee Hye
3,5 ⭐️ / 5 stars
I loved the idea of a book store with a Café AND a stay-in rooms included! Again, as i’ve not been in the right state of mind, I feel like I didn’t enjoyed this as much as I should’ve.. though I appreciated that some characters came back after their original chapters to have a final update at Christmas.
La septième Vague, Daniel Glattauer (Every seventh waves)
3,5 ⭐️ / 5 stars
I’ve reread the first book countless times before (Love Virtually), and finally got to read the second tome after almost a decade. Though I reread it not too long ago, 1-2years, It didn’t took me long to remember my beloved characters 🥰 Emmi & Leo are so well written that you can feel them as real; she’s stormy and explosive at times, while he get drunk and open up his “emotion wardrobe” in long poetic emails.
Now the reason why I didn’t like this one as much as the first one was the overall emotion of the book. I really relate with having feelings over someone over emails (or text, in my era); however the first one was more romance with no end in sight, until it did unexpectedly because of -redacted-, In this one we were in constant limbo of saying goodbye.. to continue chatting a few months later. Rinse and repeat. Generally i’m happy to have finish the serie and finally have the end of the story, as it left in a cliffhagner… but I don’t think i’ll reread this one as much. or if I should even keep it.. Even if it ends on a happy ending (which left me so confused! It popped out of nowhere.. and way too late!)
Have you read any of these?
