On Friday, I was finally able to pick up a library hold I had requested months and months ago. Crazy Rich Asians has been on my TBR list ever since I saw the trailer for the film. Between my desire to see the film and several friends recommending the book, I have been hyped up for the book.
This week, that sweet sweet email from DCPL arrived to alert me that my hold request was finally fulfilled. I practically skipped to the library to pick up the book. Then, I nearly ran home so that I could start reading what promised to be a great read.
If I didn't have plans this weekend, I would have ensconced myself on the couch and refused to move until I finish the book. Instead, I ended up spending an hour Sunday morning reading in bed with a mug of coffee simply so I could make a large dent in the book to start. I'm about 100 pages in and I can't wait to keep reading. (I am also grateful for the family tree at the front of the book.)
Aside from the book being enjoyable on it's own, I love the additional anticipation of seeing the film. What will the makers get right? What will they change or leave out? Will I like it as much as the book? More? Will the visions in my head match what the film shows? It's all a big question right now. That's, however, what makes it fun. Some friends and I have already made plans to see the movie when it comes out. Now, we'll be able to chat all about the book while we wait for the lights to dim.
