I am officially on holiday in Korea and Japan for the first time ever!! (AHHH!!!)

I would love any recommendations! I want to buy atleast two books while I'm here. I have already read and liked:

Before the coffee gets cold 1&2 What you are looking for is in the library Butter (liked the writing but not the story) Strange houses Welcome to hyunam-dong bookshop

Please and thank you, much love - Me

Right now I am working on a Star Wars fanfic, the FMC's (ex-Imperial Pantoran turned bounty hunter) parts being written in second tense, and I am contemplating writing the antagonist's (a nonbinary Hutt major domo) parts in past tense/third person. I wanted to see if folks have ever read any books/novellas/short stories with that kind of split between POVs, OR if they think it would work, OR if it would make more sense to keep it to one tense?

Years of playing TTRPGs has made present tense almost the go-to writing style for myself having been a DM for...like...over a decade, but third person I feel like is still the most common narrative method across literature. I am not really planning on doing much other than just writing it for fun and sharing with a couple friends, but I was just curious to hear peoples' thoughts.

I've been giving a lot of thought to the best way to sort my bookshelf and I'm curious, how do other people set theirs up?

Right now I have separated my books by format and then alphabetically by author. Separated by hard covers, paperbacks and mass market paper backs. I have my hardcovers on a riser and the mass market paperbacks go in front because they're short.

Also opinions on stacks? If I have a bunch of books by one author, in the same format I turn them on their side and stack them to save space

I've done other set ups in the past, I've organized by genre and then by author and I've even organized by height

I was watching a K-drama and the FMC mentioned that she’d started rewriting books she really loves by hand. Like, the ENTIRE book.

And honestly, I found that kind of fascinating? 😭 I’ve never thought of doing that, but I can see how it could be weirdly relaxing, especially with a book you really love.

Has anyone here ever actually done this? Or do you have a similar book-related hobby?
