reading wrap-up for may-aug🌻
didn't read a lot these past months + didn't truly enjoy most of my reads but i'd pick these as my highlights. still in awe over the duality of park seolyeon—wrote A Magical Girl Retires but also a histfic based on a key sk female labour activist.

“이 땅의 사람들, 풀 한 포기, 흙 한 줌까지도 사랑합니다. 빛 한 줄기라도 이 땅을 비췄을까, 먼 곳에서 올려다 보는 달조차 사랑하고야 맙니다.”
finished 고래별: 경성의 인어공주 (Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid), a retelling of The Little Mermaid set in pre-independence Korea.

there is no one correct way to translate, not just for this phrase but for any line ever. that's why translation is art. the same phrase can & will be translated differently according to the setting, character personality, mood etc
God this is frustrating.
Multiple ways to translate いただきます...and honestly none of them worked.
- "thanks for the food" is awkward.
- "bon appetit/let's eat/tuck in" implies there's another person with you which is not always the case
- Saying "grace" adds religiousness when

"trashy romance" vs "quality literature" hm really hope romance readers at least try to contend with the internalised misoginy
Shockingly, when you read more than one book a year, you have plenty of room in your reading list to enjoy both trashy romance novels AND quality pieces of literature. It’s called having range!

confession: i spent half of the show constantly going "she's so cute look at her!!" over loïs. her droopy eyes are so sad puppy-like i cantt
binged Campus Drivers and the slow burn friends to lovers of it all was addictive to say the least. great chemistry! song choices were whatever and the last episode was rushed but the show was easily loveable despite the flaws

unintentionally trained this one cat that human hands = pet
now he won't let me even hold a phone in his sights because what is that hand doing not petting him??? and i have to hide my other hand if I'm using only one to pet him bc he WILL get restless if he sees a free hand
