What I Read in April 2022
Hi, friends! Now that it’s mid-May, I’m finally writing this post! April was a solid reading month for me, thanks to a couple of audiobooks. I liked all five books I read last month though they were pretty different from each other. Here’s what I read last month: SCATTERED ALL OVER THE EARTH by Yoko Tawada – 3.5 stars This was one of the first books I received in Letters Sidecar book subscription. It’s a fiction set in a hypothetical future where Japan does not exist anymore and Japanese people living abroad are displaced from their home country forever and unable to converse with their fellow Japanese speakers.

Weekend(s) in Outfits 2022.5.8
Hi, friends! The last couple of weeks had been a whirlwind because—my sister Jiyoung is married!!! Though I didn’t put on real clothes every day the last two weeks, the times I did were mostly for Jiyoung’s wedding festivities so I guess that would be the alternative title for this edition of “Weekend(s) in Outfits.” 😉 Here’s what I did and wore last couple of weekends: Friday, April 29 We drove up to Charlottesville for a short bachelorette weekend for Jiyoung. It was just me, Jiyoung, and one of her friends due to scheduling conflicts but it ended up being the perfect, low-key weekend. We were all pretty worn out…

Week(end) in Outfits 2022.04.24
Hi, friends! I had such a fun weekend and am still recovering from it. TMI but I was on my period last week so I didn’t really put on real clothes until towards the end of the week. My nap dresses were on heavy rotation this weekend per usual. I have a short week since I’m taking Friday off for my sister Jiyoung’s bachelorette weekend in Charlottesville! I’m very much looking forward to it, especially after a long Monday. THURSDAY La Recette Patisserie is having a kickstarter for their cakeshop opening soon in Durham (it goes until this Thursday, April 28 at 11am Eastern Time)! Cocoa Cinnamon is helping raise…

Week in Outfits 2022.04.17
How is April already more than halfway over?! I’m not complaining about the longer days and warmer weather though! Last week, I had a productive week at work and watched a lot of TV in my free time (#worklifebalance). MONDAY Alex and I watched the first season of Severance in a matter of few days, and I’ve got to say it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time, or perhaps ever. One of the main characters is the guy that plays Ben Wyatt in Parks & Rec so somehow I was fooled into thinking that it will be a fun, lighthearted show?! We ended up finishing…

What I Read in March 2022 + Reading Updates
Hi, friends! March was not a prolific reading month but I found meaning in each of the three books I read, which I think is a success! I’m also sharing a few more reading-related updates in this post so I hope you find them fun. 🥰 WHAT I READ IN MARCH A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith – 4.5 stars A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is an older release from 1943 and I won a copy from a Bookstagram giveaway! I carried this one over from February but really enjoyed reading it once I got into it. Plot-wise, it’s almost a typical coming-of-age story. Francie Nolan grows up…
