The Secret Life of Sunflowers
by Marta Molnar
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is one of those books where you should definitely not judge a book by its cover. I almost didn’t read it because it looked like a boring book about native Americans (not saying books about NA are boring…this just looked like it would be). It’s not boring and not about NA. It’s historical fiction about Vincent van Gogh’s sister in law, Jo, and her troubles and how she persevered to eventually get his works seen and appreciated world wide. It’s also about a fictional current-day woman and how she reads Jo’s diary and comes to learn about her and be inspired by her. It's a book that kept me reading, enjoying, and learning throughout.

Princess Jellyfish

book cover


I completed my first manga as part of Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. And, I have to say, I enjoyed it! There were a lot of Japanese cultural concepts that were unfamiliar to me, but the footnotes and endnotes helped a lot. I didn't realize manga were read back to front either, so that was a little hard to get used to but was routine by the end of the book. I'm not sure I'll continue with manga, but I'm glad the challenge exposed me to something different! It was nice that the characters were single women with passions that society deemed unusual.
