Just received my 호랑이 들어와요 (series) | L29 books from Now in Seoul!

[cjo]

Nice!

I’m rereading this cute book about a dog detective. I have the e-book so I’ll just link it:

명탐견 오드리 : 추리는 코끝에서부터

[bibliothecary]

Something else to add to my wish list!

[Jyinra]

Here’s some physical Korean books I own. It’s a teeny collection so far. I haven’t gotten far in reading them yet.

That 오리 부리 이야기 title … 너무 귀여워 ㅎㅎ

[bibliothecary]

I’ve got the same graded reader sitting on my bookshelf! Feeling slightly guilty I haven’t even opened it yet, since I’ve had it for ages…

READ ME

[Jyinra]

I like it a lot. The stories are pretty interesting. You can probably read one every night as a bedtime story. The discussion questions are pretty good for practicing writing Korean. You could probably use the audio they provide as dictation practice and then check for corrections using the book. There’s a lot of ways to go about using it. ^^

[Jyinra]

Yeah, it’s about an over-talkative duck. The drawings inside are really pretty too.

I’ve been enjoying reading the ebook of 소리를 보는 소년 | L30?? for the book club, Week 3 of 소리를 보는 소년 👁👂 Korean Fiction Book Club 🇰🇷, so I ended up buying the physical book as well.

I got a few more historical children’s / YA novels:

• 춤추는 아이, 소동 | L25??
• 조선의 배이거리 | L22??
• 수를 놓는 소년 | L22??

I read the first few volumes of 십이국기 (series) | L35?? in English, so it would be nice to read them in Korean (and Japanese) at some point.

한국단편소설 50 | L30?? is a pretty hefty volume aimed at 중고생, and each story has annotations and commentary. Looking forward to dipping into this!

[bungakushoujo]

You really have quite the collection! I only own one single physical Korean book (불편한 편의점 | L26 - the cherry blossom leaves are holographic making it very pretty!) so I am a bit jealous! May try to order some more physical books one day.

한국단편소설 50 | L30?? looks especially cool! I think I will add that to my to read list!

[bibliothecary]

Haha, if I ever get my Korean bookshelves sorted, I may post pics. They are very disheveled atm!

Forgot to mention that there’s also audio available from the publisher website for 한국단편소설 50 | L30??, so even better!

I’m well on my way to completing the Darakwon series! I’ll probably have to wait though, since buying the C1 or C2 books right now wouldn’t make much sense. For physical books, I also have the first Harry Potter book, but it didn’t fit in my suitcase since I bought too many books for Christmas so that’s all I have with me for now.

[HopeWaterfall]

I finally got 죽이고 싶은 아이 | L25 , after having to wait for it to be restocked and then fighting against FedEx. I’m very excited for the bookclub, so I’ll be starting that very soon! As a bonus, I also got 심청전 | L27?? to continue my collection of the Darakwon graded readers series. This time it’s the C1 book, as I’ll finish reading the second B2 book, 전우치전 | L22 , tonight!

[NihongoLearner19]

I found some of my favorite manhwa on Suruguya and I couldn’t resist!

[skitt42]

I’ve got a few.

[ddochii]

I have two shelved dedicated to my Korean books! And here’s my recent ish haul too. Getting short on space, so some books I plan on reading next are scattered around the house and not in the pic lol.

[HopeWaterfall]

Two book hauls in one since I forgot to post the previous one. This one was heavy though, the post office staff put the parcel in my hands and then I had to ask him to put it directly in my backpack because I couldn’t lift the thing

On a happy note, I now own all the Darakwon Korean readers! All that’s left is to read them (mainly, the C2 홍길동전).

[CatDQ]

I’m seeing some pretty books here, it’s making me want to start collecting and learning Korean just for reading some of these
