Hello reader of r/bangtan!
August rolls in hot on the heels of Jin who is wilding out as he wraps up the American leg of his tour (guys, please let us know what you put in the water there because the evolution of Hobi and Jin has been insane!). Meanwhile, if anyone has figured out what Tae was hinting at dropping in August, let us know! Before they announce anything else to distract us…
We bring you the winning book for August’s book club selection… Drum roll please!
The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki
The Book of Form and Emptiness follows a young boy named Benny who begins to hear voices from inanimate objects after the loss of his father. Blending magical realism with emotional depth, this novel explores grief, mental health and the meaning that we assign to the things-and people-around us.
