We'll Always Have Summer
by Jenny Han

book cover


I loved how much tension and emotion built up between Conrad and Belly, but when it finally came together it felt too rushed. So much time was spent on other relationships that I was left wanting more of their quieter, meaningful moments. As a Team Conrad reader, I just wanted more of their happiness after all the drama. I would honestly read another book just to get those missing pieces, and I really hope the Amazon Prime streaming show gives us more of that side of their story.

Persuasion

This was a complex read for me. Chosen by my book club, and I am in the end, so glad they did. I initially had a hard time adjusting to the language, and the pattern of writing. This for me require a slow contemplative read. I developed a deep respect for the author. Taught me much about the times, especially the plight of women. Behind this complicated soap opera are themes around issues of second chances, class issues, social mores, cultural aspects of the time, and integrity. I can’t say I loved it but I can say, it was a remarkable novel, and I am glad I read it. I am also glad I did not live during that time.

This was not a required book in my high school class. I have committed to read one classic novel per month and this is the first one. I appreciated this book I think more as an adult than I would have reading as a teenager. A black man named Tom is accused of a terrible crime against a white woman. Scout’s father, Atticus, is appointed to defend Tom. Through Scout’s point of view, you get to see the small town in the south point of view about race relations and the true bad people who live in the neighborhood, including Boo. Always remember, it would be a sin to kill a mockingbird. I definitely recommend reading or rereading this novel.

book cover


This well-researched novel is based on the true story of how Vincent Van Gogh's paintings were brought into acceptance as worthy art. Vincent's brother, Theo Van Gogh, supported the artist, and was himself an art dealer. One year after Vincent’s death, Theo dies. His wife, Jo Van Gogh, struggles to fulfill Theo's dream of bringing Vincent Van Gogh's art to fame. The expected response to her husband's death was for Jo to return home to live with and be supported by her father. She fights this, and fights against societal norms by trying to instill herself into the all-male world of selling art. She is rebuffed by the men, who don’t believe a woman can possibly understand business. For the sake of her son’s future inheritance, Jo does all she can to promote Vincent’s work and gain an international following for his drawings and paintings.
