The Library Didn’t Only Contain Magical Books, The Ones Which Are Chained To Their Shelves And Are

2023/09/27

In today’s Korean culture class we learned about 민화 (Minhwa) and did wood crafting using Minhwa designs.

Also have lots of Korean homework to do and grammar to learn. Second year learning Korean and it’s starting to be a little difficult, but usually that’s when the fun starts 🤓📚🇰🇷

Yeah now we've entered the back pain stage

Books on the shelves, on coffee tables, on tables beside beds and sofas, on cabinets and underneath flower pots – the beautiful musty scent of pages old and new linger in every room along with the faint perfume of flowers and rosemary. She buries herself within the pages of literature, stuck inside the adventures and thoughts of each and every story she reads, the memories and lives of the characters felt like they were hers as well. Every fact and speculation she thoroughly peruses, taking in as much as she could digest.  The books are both her escape and her comfort.

Remember the beautiful feeling of touching the pages of an old book, wondering just how many people have lovingly anticipated the stories within its pages? Or that simple, musty and kind of historic scent of it? And also, the excitement of opening a new book and feeling like you’ve found a new companion? All these are quite quirky and simple but they are part of this wonderful love I have for books. It’s not only the stories, but the companionship and the “passport” I attain to far off lands and new people in adventures I know I could only have in books.

Started the day with celebrating my birthday 🥳 and ended it with a beautiful hair accessory (modern version of 빈여 binyeo) that I made in class 😌

I have arrived in heaven and it’s snowing outside and I couldn’t be happier!!!! If you are ever in NYC make sure to stop by Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe because it’s magnificent and I never wanna leave
