Drawing Miyoung and Jihoon from Wicked Fox by Kat Cho

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty crummy. Things in life haven’t treated me kindly. That’s why my posting is so sporadic. I feel like people probably don’t want to hear my sob stories. I know that everyone is going through their own stuff right now. Why would mine be any more important? I’ve been down lately. Super anxious. Back to having panic attacks. I am trying to get back to where I was at before life took a nose dive. I am not writing this for sympathy. I know everyone has problems and we all learn to deal with them. I am just writing this for transparency. Tell me something happy going on in your life. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

🌠Book Review🌠 Happy Monday loves, it's back to the regular work week for me. I hope you all had a fun & safe weekend. . I've been going back through my list of read books to make sure I have left reviews for everything, so don't mind me while I play catch up on books I read months ago 😅 . Book: Wicked Fox Author: @katjcho Genre: YA Fantasy Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audiobook: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miyoung is a girl with a secret, she's a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Living in modern day Seoul, she choses to feast on evil men who no one would miss. In the forest one night, after having fed during the full moon, Miyoung stumbles upon a goblin in the process of attacking a teenage boy. She makes the rash decision to save him but in the process, looses her fox bead (her gumiho soul), before fleeing the area. Soon after, Jihoon, is surprised to see the fox girl who saved him, is his new classmate. She pointedly tries to ignore him, but his infectious friendliness eventually wears down her guard & they develop a tenuous friendship. I had so many feelings when it comes to this book. I was invested in the characters developing relationship & hoped for Miyoung to finally find a place she could fit in. Some feedback I have seen for this story, includes those having issue with how it was marked vs the actual book. I will agree, this story is definitely not as lighthearted as the synopsis would make it seem, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Another issue some have, was that it reads very episodic -almost like an actual K-Drama- but that was just a plus for me. My one critique, was the frustration I felt regarding her relationship with her mother. There were some very simple conversations that could have taken place to resolve a good portion of the plot. Overall, I loved story & really appreciated the cultural and supernatural elements you don't often get to see in the western media. I am very excited to soon be able to read the sequel, Vicious Spirits, out next month. .

Good evening readers! 💕 . After a while here is my #WWWWednesday ! . 👻What did you finish reading? The Memory of Babel and The Kiss of Deception! Both are good books but The Memory of Babel caught totally my attention. . 🎃What are you currently reading? Not even bones, perfect for Halloween vibes! And I'm liking it soooo much! Plus, of course my re-reading of The Priory of the Orange Tree, because  sent me the ebook 😍. For the italian readers 🇮🇹 the release date of #ilprioratodellalberodellearance is approaching 😍! Are you ready to love it? . 🦇What will you read next? Still don't know. Probably There will come a darkness or Godsgrave! Any suggestions? . ❓ #qotd A book with a different culture setting than the your usual one. I've loved Guhimo - Wicked Fox! I have a passion for Asia, especially for Korea and Japan and I have to say that this book doesn't recreate only places and traditions of Korea, but especially it perfectly expresses their way of thinking and how they relate to other people with such a beautiful finesse. . More, I didn't expect all the things that had happened 😱😭. I can't wait to read the sequel, because that ending left us with too much questions, and I already miss Jihoon. He's a such sweetheart 💞! . Have you read it? I really recommend it! ❤️ . . #gumiho #wickedfox #katcho https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-C6vQIf9P/?igshid=cxtzx8qv4486

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: This book was the K-drama turned book I needed in my life. Every other chapter I would stop and say out loud “OMG, this is a freaking K-drama!” The nonstop action and romance is what made me fall in love with this book. It also reminded me of one of my first K-dramas I ever watched, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, and the author slyly mentioned this drama and I was so HYPED! I loved how this book showed the struggles Miyoung dealt with in her life and how Jihoon helped her through them. Forgiveness was also a big factor in this book by showing it isn’t easy to forgive when pride is in the way, and I related a lot to Jihoon in that way when it came to how hard it was to forgive the people he loved like his mother and Miyoung. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a great representation of Korean folklore and family love. . . It’s Fall Ya’ll🍁🍂 (I’m probably the 1,000th person to say that on Instagram) but fall is my favorite time of year because it’s getting colder! Anyone who knows me knows that I hate being hot and I’m always hot no matter where I am and what I’m doing. What is your favorite or least favorite season? Are you more excited for the fall season or Halloween? #wickedfox #katcho #review #bookstagram #gumiho #koreanfolklore #fall #halloween (at Fairfax, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xPPU9BLqW/?igshid=1gy6o7gbzs053
