I want to do a book tag, but first I want to rant a bit. Am I the only one who finds it weird when you watch a series in one language, then all of a sudden, it flips into another language? Luckily, it flipped to English, so I could still understand it. Anyway, I’m doing the I Love Spring Book Tag, which was created by Helene Jeppesen on BookTube. Want to know what happened for a second there? I was going to a Fall tag by mistake.
How is spring where you live?
Well, I can’t enjoy the Spring weather as I want because my wheelchair is still broken, so I’m still living in my bed, but we are getting some summer days that need the AC to be on.
Most anticipated book release this spring?

“When I found the courage to lift my head, I expected to stare down the barrel of a gun, but instead there was a woman in front of me, the back of her white skirt embroidered with columns of yellow chrysanthemums.”
1950. It’s the coldest winter in decades, and twenty-eight-year-old Chinese American journalist Ellie Chang is on a military flight to cover a battle in the mountains of North Korea when her plane is shot down.
As she emerges from the fallen aircraft onto an icy field surrounded by the enemy, Ellie is sure it’s the end, certain she’ll never make it home to her parents…until a woman pushes her way through the crowd and claims Ellie as the lost daughter that she’s been searching for since the last war ended. Never mind that Ellie doesn’t speak a word of Korean.
Ellie is taken in by her rescuer—a woman who calls herself “Emma”—and the Paks, a pastor’s family. She knows she can’t stay and yet there’s no way she’ll survive on her own.
As the war intensifies, the sky alighting with bombs overhead, Ellie convinces Emma and the Paks to travel south towards an elusive promise of safety, and where Ellie insists they are more likely to find Emma’s real daughter, stuck on the other side of the frontlines.
Emma’s decision to claim Ellie, and Ellie’s choice to take her hand will connect their lives forever.

What are your favourite spring reads?
I have been such a mood reader that I can’t even try to think of reading seasonally.
Where are you going to read this spring?
As I shared with you a few posts ago, I now have bookshelves, so I have a physical TBR. The question is: will I read physically? Not likely.

Yuki Yamimoto has a problem with billionaires. She knows it, her Mermaid Airlines flight crew know it, and so does her friend and former flight attendant co-worker, Sinead. Okay, maybe it’s one billionaire in particular who she’s obsessed with: Declan Moriarty, the charming, wavy-haired, Irish CEO she met years ago when she worked in a hotel in Melbourne. They accidentally shared a one-night-stand in his hotel suite, then Yuki got fired into the bargain. It was totally worth it, at the time. Until it wasn’t. Declan was the one who got away, the big fish she’d failed to reel in. The man who broke her heart. When Sinead invites Yuki to her last-minute second-wedding/renewal of vows/luxury getaway weekend, Yuki jumps at the chance to go. After being publicly dumped and humiliated by her ex-boyfriend in Singapore, Yuki needs to escape. It’s only when she boards the flight to Thailand that she realises Declan may be invited too. After all, he’s good friends with Gabriel, Sinead’s gorgeous, entrepreneur husband. Now it’s panic-stations, as Yuki tries to work out how to be devastatingly sexy, cool as a cucumber, mature and sophisticated, and NOT a total disaster. Piece of cake! But when she sees Declan again, he’s as handsome as ever, and everything starts to go wrong . . .
