Hello my lovely friends!

I’m super excited to share this post with you, mainly because I have decided to take this weekly series a step further in hopes to encourage you all to take part! As you know, Wordless Wednesday is a series in which I post anything unrelated to books that could provide you with insight about who I am, what I enjoy and other miscellaneous ideas I have.

I would like to present to you, the new meme: Wordless Wednesday

Because of how much I have enjoyed these posts, I have decided to begin a weekly meme (as of August 2016), to share aspects of our lives that may not be completely related to books! Each week, I will post a topic for a Wordless Wednesday that you may answer in whatever fashion you may like. All you need to do is link back to kimmiegg in your post so that I can also read your content! (Feel free to use the banner as well.)

Thank you to all who will support me in this endeavor, and I can’t wait to see everything you come up with! If you have any questions, let me know in the comments so I can clarify and improve 🙂

Oh, and please enjoy, I believe this is a great way to get to know fellow bloggers, and to interact more.

Here is a link to a the official page: Wordless Wednesday


Here are the topics for the following month (feel free to choose your own topic as well! These are just ideas you can use):

August 10: Songs of Your Life – What are a couple of songs that relate to turning points in your life, and why?

August 17: Wanderlust – Whats on your travel bucket lists? Or tell of your last travel adventure.

August 24:  Art – What are some of your favorite pieces and genres? Which artist do you adore?

August 31: Best Friends for Life – Do you own pets? If you could, which animal would you adopt?

September 7: Poetry and Pose – Who are some of your favorite artists? Which poems are your favorite?

September 14: Home Sweet Home – What are some of the attractions where you live?

September 21: Hobbies – Share some of the things you do in your free time, how do you spend your days when you’re not reading?

September 28: Pet Peeves – What are some things you absolutely cannot stand? Loud chewing? Dog ears on books?

October 5: Survivor – If you were stranded on an island, what are 9 things you’d take, and why?


This meme is not binding, so feel free to participate whenever you’d like! I can’t wait to read all your posts! 🙂

And thank you Beth @ Reading Every Night for encouraging this, as it really prompted me to begin. Please be supportive as I take new steps with my blog!

Wordless Wednesday: 6.15.16

Bucket List, Know Korea, Travel, Wordless Wednesday

Hello my lovelies!

Wordless Wednesday is when I post about anything unrelated to books.  I have recently begun a series called “Know Korea” where I post things related to Korea. Today, I want to share with you five places I want to visit during my stay in Korea this coming month. (Yes, you heard me correctly, I’ll be visiting Korea in the month of July!)

경주 보문정 (Bomun Pavilion, Gyeongju)

Gyeongju was the ancient capital of the Shilla Dynasty and is known as “a museum with no walls.” This spot is clearly aesthetic in all seasons with abundant leaves in the summer, a beautiful scarlet and mustard foliage in the fall and the pure gentle snow in the winter.

경복궁 (Gyeongbokgung)

No trip is complete without a trip down the historical lane. Gyeongbokgung Palace, also known as the Northern Palace, is the most grandest of the five palaces. Although the premises were destroyed by fire during the Japanese occupation, the rooms were restored under the reign of King Gojong. There are around 7,700 rooms.

보성 녹차밭 (Boseong Green Tea Field)

I love green tea, so the rolling hills of Boseong where 40 percent of Korea’s tea is produced is a must see. Unfortunately, I’d be missing the green tea festival held every May, but the spectacular view that is the backdrop of multiple Korean dramas is sufficient for me.

파주 심학산 꽃밭 (Poppy Garden, Simhak Mountain)

The poppy garden is a scenic backdrop that is sure to intrigue any aspiring painter or photographer. The local town hosts a Poppy Festival in June.

롯데월드 (Lotte World)

And because no trip is ever complete without a visit to a theme park, Lotte world is the world’s largest indoor theme park and is open all year long. From amusement rides to shopping malls, luxury hotels, skating rink and a lake, this place is full of amazing fun.

I’m so very excited to be going back to Korea this coming month, and looking through tourist sites and pictures has definitely been causing me even more excitement! I hope you enjoyed the few snapshots I have shown of such a beautiful country.
