@bibiliophi­lefangirl Popped by Chinggay Labrador Andie is devastated by news that her ex-boyfriend is getting married. Thinking nothing will get her out of her funk, Andie begrudging­ly allows her BFF to introduce her to a bunch of Korean dramas. Little does she know that the stack of K-Pop goodness will send her down a rabbit hole of dizzying color, craziness and giddiness. Making this K-adventure even more satisfying is the group of friends Andie discovers, who are just as addicted to the stuff. Considerin­g herself a normal straight-laced freelance writer, Andie doesn’t think twice about blowing her lifesaving­s on a trip to Japan for the biggest K-Pop concert ever and jetting off to Korea for the best kind of K-sisterhood, cuteness and fandom. Throw a cute boy into the mix and you’ve got the K-Pop dream of a lifetime. This book is such a fun read, especially if you’re an avid K-Pop lover like me. Not only will it bring you to the motherland of K-Pop, it will also take you into the lives of four different girls lliving in one fantastic world. @fancymahxn­e Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher Clay Jensen returns home from school and finds a mysterious box with his name. Inside, he discovers 13 casette takes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide. Clay starts listening to the tapes and quickly becomes frightened, disturbed and confused about what really happened to Hannah. After reading this book, you’ll wonder what impact your little actions have on others. The book emphasizes the importance of speaking up. We all have a different view of how things work. Different actions, different reactions. Sometimes when people are so hopeless, they tend to lose the desire to live.
