Crazy Rich Asians was a wild ride of a story. It has very adult language all throughout it, but it was an interesting plot. Fans of drama and soap operas will really enjoy Crazy Rich Asians. I think I will be watching the movie soon.

1 The Alchemist is a story told fable-style. It has the feel of a story passed down through the ages; yet, it was written in 1988 in Portuguese. It has since been translated into many languages and sold 21 million copies worldwide. It reminds me of The Timekeeper by Mitch Albom and The Immortal Nicholas by Glenn Beck. Each book has the main character go through an epic journey to tell us a lesson about the true meaning of life.

Where’d You Go, Bernadette is told through a series of letters, emails and interviews, which are then interjected with the story from Bee’s point of view. It is a really interesting way to read a book and it kept me wondering what was going to happen next.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette? By Maria Semple
Circe is born to the sun god Helios and quickly becomes an outcast with her plain hair and voice that sounds like a mortal’s. She spends most of her growing up years escaping to an island with her brother. When he leaves her, a sailor starts visiting and she falls in love. In her desire to make him a mortal, she stumbles upon a power she has that she didn’t know – she is not just a goddess, but also a witch.

2 Talking to Strangers doesn’t solve the problem of reading people, but it gives readers the ability to be aware of other people and more aware of oneself. We need to realize that we are all bad at knowing if someone is lying. We also need to realize that people don’t always act according to the broad assumptions we have as to how they act. We need to have caution and empathy when we talk to strangers.
