Book review: Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner

Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner is a heartbreaking but fascinating memoir in which she writes about the connection between her and her mother, her youth, and the power of food and cooking.
In the memoir, Zauner recalls treasured memories of her youth and describes her life in her childhood as a Korean American and now as an adult.  She also brings Korean dishes to life and describes the taste and smell of each and every one of the childhood Korean dishes she enjoyed and now making them as an adult to remember her mother who passed away due to cancer reasons.  Crying in h mart was one of the saddest memoirs I have ever read but in the memoir, you see what it is like growing up with a Korean mother and a Caucasian father and you discover traditional Korean dishes.
I feel like you would understand the author's situation better if you were in her situation before or went through a similar situation as she did.  This book has funny and joyful family gatherings, grieving or sad sections, and Michelle cooks to bring her mother back to life now as an adult which is really heartwarming to me.  Crying in h mart was a rollercoaster of emotions and events but five out of five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for being my favorite memoir!  I would recommend this book for teens and adults 13+ as it has some course language written in the book.
Thank you for reading my book review of Crying in h mart and please comment and say what you want me to read next!

My favorite aesthetic google fonts

  Are you a person like me who uses Google docs, Google slides, or Blogger a lot?  If so, you might be getting tired of the same old regular font so I made a list of my favorite cute and aesthetic Google fonts! Indie flower:  Indie flower is a font that gives me kind of handwriting cartoon aesthetic vibes and I like using this font for titles or subheadings. Coming soon:  Coming soon is a clear and easy-to-read but cute font.  I like using this font for printables as it is easy to read for kids.

Educational math games for kids

  The best way to engage kids in learning activities is through games.  So, I decided to put a list of fun but educational math games together for your class to enjoy!   MATH: Nerdle-the daily numbers game:  On Nerdle, there is a new math problem to figure out every day (you can even turn this into a daily thing or a Friday treat!)  In Nerdle, you have an amount of 6 guesses and you have to figure out the number sequence by entering in number sentences (you can see the example photo below).  A green number means the number is in the equation and in the right spot, purple means the number is in the equation but not in the right spot, and black means the number is not in the equation at all.  Play Nerdle here:  https://nerdlegame.com/ Mathgames.com:  Math games is a website with multiple math games to choose from.  Before you begin playing a game, it will ask you your grade and what math skill you are practicing.  NOTE:  The...
