shops, emporiums, and apothecaries selling magical wares. (please note: shops must sell magical items, not simply be magical themselves)

Books needed to understand Korea better 💜
As a fan of the country thanks to k-pop and k-drama (go watch When Life Give you Tangerine, it's 10/10) since 2020, I am trying to discover all of this culture. These books for me feel like a preview of when I will live there. I included all genres because I read kinda everything. I will keep it updated. So, enjoy, I am giving you a part of my soul.
