I want to talk about the books I am reading and learn what you are reading! Perhaps we can also talk about being a mom, cooking, and cats! jessepianist.com, cupiano.com
Nowadays, I often rely on Audible to get into the story while doing housework, driving, or doing nothing on the couch.

I loved the main characters—they were thoughtful, intelligent, and very human. I ended up staying up late, and I will be paying for that today, but I do not regret it!

I needed something light, so I picked this book. Also, I love Hmart. 🤷‍♀️ So many foods remind me of childhood in Seoul, making me determined to use Korean with my daughter so she can speak the language even if I am not here ❤️

I just finished chapter 3 and sobbed in the middle of staging rehearsal. I need the courage to keep going. #booksky

OMG, this book gets real right away. I had to put the book down several times. It is one of the darkest books I ever read at the same time, beautifully written.

I should tune my piano more often, not wait till it is noticeable, because suddenly the beginner’s playing becomes more pleasant to listen to 😂 #piano #music

One of my piano students’ moms kept getting me perfect books for my baby and me, and I found out what she does!

One thing I became better at after being a mom is: I got expert skills on how to wash blowout pajamas and how efficient it is now because I can't give up these cute pajamas😂 #momsky #parentsky #babysky

After having the baby, I got tired of scrolling shorts, so I returned to reading books for fun. I looked for books with a background in Korea since it might be easy for me to connect with them, leading me to like historical fiction. One day, I can be brave and try different settings 🤞 #booksky

Ever since I became a mom of a baby girl (4 months), I feel differently about small kids getting killed in the story. I have to take a break from the book because I get too sad. 😢 Do you have similar experiences? #booksky

I finished “The Island of Sea Women” by Lisa See last night. On the final page, it carried me through so many different emotions.

Gosh, what a great story! It took a bit to get hooked initially, but it was hard to stop reading once I was in the story.

What are you reading right now? #booksky
