Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan - This is the first novel about the Asian families depicted in China Rich Girl, so if you read the two books in order, you'll have the background details of what happened with Nick's mother, more of the story of Tyersall Park, and the back story of Astrid, Michael and Charlie. It's really good, full of fun tidbits, wild conversations between the characters and lots of Asian slang. An over the top event at the center of the novel does not disappoint with its descriptions of the clothes, rooms and general ambiance of the party. Keep in mind, these people aren't rich, they are crazy rich!
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
