    Reader note

    I've been reading a few short stories lately, and they're really addictive. "Drowning in a Gentle Whirlpool" is a workplace romance with a perfect pace, and the male lead is so charming; "The Imprisoned Gardenia in the Ashes of the Moon" is a sweet and heartwarming short story that leaves you feeling warm inside; "If I Turn Around, There Will Be No More Meetings" has a slightly poignant ending, but it feels very realistic. The other books also have their own highlights, perfect for reading in short bursts of free time—they're not too mentally taxing.
