“Ever since my mother died, I cry in H Mart.” So begins this poignant, heartfelt, and poetic memoir about grief, growing up, and making amends.

If you love great books you will love I'd Rather Be Reading, my essay collection on the reading life.

It’s for all of us for whom reading isn’t just a hobby but a lifestyle. You’ll enjoy hearing about the books that hooked me on reading in the first place, my cheeky step-by-step method for organizing your bookshelves, the joys of rereading old favorites, and the special relationship I have with my own library and the books it holds.

This book would make a wonderful addition to your bedside table or your own library bookshelves, or an excellent gift for the readers in your life.
