Hello [book luvers](https://media.tenor.com/eRGIZayjbHYAAAAC/kim-namjoon-cool-boy.gif) of r/bangtan!
Thank you to all who participated in our first book club meetings with **Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS**. We wanna keep the good times (and discussions) rolling, so the club will be meeting monthly to discuss books that BTS have recommended, possibly related to BTS’ music or simply because they were spotted in BTS content in the background. You voted, and the results are in for the next book on our *tracklist* ! And it is… [drumroll please…!](https://youtu.be/TBRw27OmsvQ?t=77)
# ‘I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki’ by Baek Sehee

Young social media director Baek Sehee records her therapy discussions over a 12-week period and then expands on each session with her own insight/reflection. Part memoir, part self-help book, “it will appeal to anyone who has ever felt alone or unjustified in their everyday despair.”

I’m so excited to talk about this book with all of you! I know this leans a little into the self-help realm and I’ve never discussed any kind of self-help book in a book club before.
And I know we should never judge a book by it’s cover but….I really love the cover of this one. I think the illustration is gorgeous.
Yay! I voted for this book!
I purchased this book nearly a year ago at the airport before flying to korea but have yet to read it. This will definitely be my motivation to get started on (& complete) the book during current solo trip 🙂
Haven’t joined a book club before but am excited for what’s to come!
No idea what this book was about but given the odd title it was definitely a stand out to vote for! Looking forward to reading it 📚
This has been on my kindle wishlist for a while so I think this is a sign to finally read the book.
I read kind of quickly so I had a hard time keeping track with the longer discussion period of having all the chapters broken out into different posts. I think if this is just a single discussion post in October it will be easier for me to keep track of.
I’ll be joining in to o. It will be nice to have the motivation to finish a book that is not fiction.
I will be joining. I am currently listening audiobook of this.
