Korean Literature

In today’s video I have an exciting announcement to make. I am moving to South Korea for a year to teach English. In order to learn as much as I can about Korean culture before I go I have compiled a list of novels, memoirs and middle grade books that are written by Korean and Korean American authors.

Thanks Terri! Reading does help me prepare for change.

What an exciting move!!
Pachinko is one of my favourite books, it reads a lot faster than you would think given it’s size.
Great list of books, a few that I hadn’t come across to add to the TBR!

[@sipzandstoriez9546]

Thanks Gem of Books! I will definitely make time for Pachinko!
