Bloomsbury presents Every Day I Read by Hwang Bo-reum, read by Rosa Escoda.

From the internationally bestselling author of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop comes a warm and reflective collection of essays about reading, language and life.

Why do we read? What is it that we hope to take away from the intimate, personal experience of reading for pleasure?

Rarely do we ask these profound, expansive questions of ourselves and of our relationship to the joy of reading. But in this gentle, philosophical collection celebrating books, reading and language, Hwang Bo-reum doesn’t just tell us, but shows us what living a life immersed in reading means.

Every Day I Read provides many quiet moments for introspection and reflection, encourages book-lovers to explore what reading means to each of us. While this is a book about books, at its heart is an attitude to life, one outside capitalism and climbing the corporate ladder. Readers and non-readers will take away something from it, including a treasure trove of book recommendations blended seamlessly within.©2021 Hwang Bo-reum (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Creativity Entertainment & Performing Arts Self-Help

Critic Reviews

[This book] suggests that finding daily satisfaction is itself a serious job . . . Hwang explores how a person might choose to counter workism without rejecting work entirely, and how a meaningful life might be built by applying oneself to even the most pleasurable pastimes.
A real love letter to reading . . . wonderful.
I may have found my ideal bookshop book when I read Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. What sets Hyunam-Dong apart is how much it reveals about getting a store up and running . . . By the end of Hyunam-Dong, [Yeongju] has encountered enough surprises to figure out that bookshops—and love—rarely go by the book.
Hwang Bo-Reum’s debut novel took South Korea by storm for its refreshing positivity and rejection of hypercapitalism . . . Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop was indeed a welcome break from the faster-paced and heavier books on my reading list—the perfect book to read while curled up in a comfy chair with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday.

Cozy and inspiring read. As a reader, I never expected the calm and relatedness this book could bring. A book dedicated to the art and practice of reading and how to continue it as a lifelong practice.

TBH, I picked this book to know how to be consistent in keeping the reading habit for longer. But this book awe me🫠.
I was mesmerized with the way author described each of the segments as a reader herself. I got to know a lot of things that are normal within a reading day or a non-reading day. I felt like I'm talking to myself and getting to know myself better as a reader.
This book will be kept in my mind whenever illbe picking another book to read. It didn't only help me to get out of my readers block but also gave me a reason to read more. I'm so happy to choose this 📖. Although there are plenty of times when my thought process differ to the author. But this is also one of the reason that I got to learn new aspects as a reader.
The most amazing thing is I got so many book recommendations in this book, that is now in my tbr list 🥰. I would definitely say. Go for it and keep you reading habit going.
