More than halfway through this intriguing read “Ask Again, Yes” by Mary Beth Keane!🗣 _________________________________________ Loving the multiple perspectives in this novel that compliment each other so much. The portrayal of mental illness in media has always been difficult, especially with an illness as severe as Keane writes about, so I’m looking forward to see where she takes that, as well as the rest of the plots in this beautifully written book! _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #bookmail #marybethkeane #askagainyes

It seemed like I blinked an suddenly I was finished with this magnificent book: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee! _________________________________________ This book is quite the journey - literally and figuratively. It follows four generations of a Korean family trying to survive discrimination and poverty in Japan from 1910-1989. Because of this the pacing is very fast (moving about 2-5 years per chapter) yet somehow the plot is kept very straightforward and easy to follow. The twists and turns of this seemingly normal family were jaw dropping and the characterization of each person was so brilliantly done that I felt like I knew each one personally. The ending was simple but tied up all the loose ends very nicely. This book broke my heart and then glued all the pieces back together within the span of 479 pages. From the outside Pachinko might seem intimidating to the average reader, but I truly think you’d be missing out on a beautiful story if you didn’t pick this book up.💫 _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookreview #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #bookmail #minjinlee #Pachinko
