The Girl with Yellow Skirt – Part 1 – Reading 14
The beginning of chapter “SHORT, 2002” was a process interrogation of a detective to one of two boys.
The boys are suspected commit a crime in the case of “The High School Beauty Murder”, Han Manu, 18-year-old, in the police interrogation room. Another suspect was Jeongjun, but this boy has an alibi. It was flashback of the first narrator, Da-On, the younger sister of the victim.
The victim, Hae-on, was a senior in one of high school in Seoul, South Korea. Her death body was found in a park, not too far from her school, in afternoon July 1, 2002, when Seoul was crowded with Japan-Korea FIFA World Cup.
Lemon has started with a murder and an interrogation by detective, but this novel more likely brings the readers to think about the cope of grievances than to find out the killer.
People cope their griefs differently. Coping strategies are unique to an individual, some of them are unacceptable.
The second narrator in next chapter, Shanghui, was Hae-on classmate. Shanghui and Da-on were in the same Poetry Club in their school. From this narrator, the readers able to see the pictures of the class, clubs. school, and her classmates. She was afraid to get wrong person, but she believes the girl is Da-on.
Then, she found out the girl with yellow skirt, lemon color, did plastic surgery, she changed her face into her sister’s face, and she also always wears yellow dress, like her descent sisters in her last day, wearing yellow dress.
Da-on is really in deep pain from this murder, and pain from surgery.

Then they engage in nice conversations.
There are some amusing things in this book that make the readers will not put this book down.
Such as the first chapter, how she makes a conclusion to a skinny daughter when she was sleeping.
She always cooks dan packs good, tasty, and nutritious meals in her daughter’s lunchbox.
She is happy because her daughter always empties them. But, why her daughter’s weight less than supposed to, and she can not image her daughter has cancer.
Blood cancer? Anemia?
Somebody must be eating her daughter meals!
When she looks at her daughter, the story back to 1961. Then, another funny thing is after she gave birth to her daughter, every time the nurse come to her and ask about her pain and feeling, her answer is always “mad”.
Yes, she said that she is mad. Mad. Mad. She also mad when people asked about her daughter.
Then, her daughter is called Mad. Could be her legal name is Mad?
She tried to find many girl names, and nothing match with the last name Zott. She is still mad, Mad Zott. Yes, Mad Zott. Madeline Zott.

A Chemist who Loves to Cook – Part 1 - Reading 11
The bright orange color with a cute illustration of this book was attractive and charming, “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus.
It seems a serious reading following the word “lessons” even more “in Chemistry”.
I was so excited to read this novel, what the chemistry things in this book. This book is the first edition (2022), 386 pages, published by Doubleday.
If you are thinking, this book will challenge you about your memory of some chemistry courses from schools, it could be the chemistry language for salt and water.
Moreover, this is a fabulous book about a bright chemist lady who recognize as a famous cooking show “Supper at Six”
The story back to year 1961. The protagonist, Elizabeth Zott, is a Chemist. She works in the research center, Hasting Research Institute, that dominance by male.
At work she met Calvin Evans, a brilliant, lonely, Noble Prize nominated guy.
Garmus, the author, portrayed how the first time Elizabeth had conversation with Evans in the Chemistry Lab.
From here, we also know how the Chemistry Lab in the past with all the graduates, beakers, and Bunsen burners.
It is a lovely first meeting between the two scientists. Elizabeth needs some beakers for her chemistry research, then finally she gets them in Evans’ room.
Evans does not know that she is also a scientist until he walks down to her room, then asks her about his beakers, but she ignores him, and she keeps busy doing her job with Bunsen burner.
