March 2020 Book Review

This month's Fiction book review is Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan.

This novel is about Family Standards, traditions and what you do reflects on the family you come from as well; at least that is what I took from the novel. And everyone has a family secret or two that they would like to keep hidden. Also if you find a love so untouchable and go through so much pain and you still fight for it, even if your family wants to ruin a perfect thing for traditional values. Even through a tight family network and having family legacy going back centuries ,a family thoughts can be changed or at least have a compromise in tradition. I am not going to hide the fact I started this read February first and I just finished it March nineteenth. It took me while to fall in love with the novel at first. And this fiction novel is broken down in three parts, sidenote I need more right after part two and of course I have the next one in my hands. I couldn't stop reading even if it was past midnight the novel kept shocking my mind! Let me just say when rachel wore that necklace in part two, My mouth dropped into the pages before me. It made me feel like I was at the wedding reception seeing the story unfolded.

I can relate to the novel about family standards,traditions and bringing someone home like most people. Just like the novel bringing someone to meet a family, especially when there's a strict traditional culture background. Outsiders are put through every trial good or bad, to get approval like Rachel. And the family tends to go through every bit of information given to them with a fine tooth comb even through beyond measures to get the real information about someone.

I also took another bit from this novel regarding blessings from the family members. Even if getting blessings from everyone is important before getting down on one knee but also having a bit grit showing everyone that maybe the person doesn't fit the mold but they are worth it all. I believe there is a particular moment in life where love is more important than pleasing the tradition around the culture. This quote kept popping in my head after I finished the novel yesterday that connects with my previous statement.

" I can't believe you did this. I can't believe you went halfway around the world and back for me in two days. What ever possessed you to do such a crazy thing?" (PAGE 525)

All I am going to say Nick Young need to do that for Rachel Chu. Traveling halfway around the world just to make a person happy and expecting nothing in return, has to be the most beautiful thing I have heard in a long time.Knowing your other half is more valuable than anything else in the universe.

I hope you have or going to read this novel, please let me know in the comments or on my other social media outlets. And I know I made this review very short for my style but I have to get started on that second novel, I have to know what happens next!

What's coming out next is my latest written piece, be on the lookout for that. It's going to be a long emotional rollercoaster ride.

All my love always,

Happy Turkey , Giving and Black friday

Happy Thanksgiving and Gathering!

The week of Giving , Cooking and laughs all around; oh and Little shopping in involved.

Are you ready for the buffet? And the three football games ?

This week is the beginning of the holiday season in my opinion. Seeing people that I haven't seen awhile since the last family gathering. Connecting with family without the need of a phone and apps. Seeing their faces and getting a big warm heart means more than anything.Waking up to a full house of love ones and fresh pot of coffee is the best even if that means we don't all look our sunday's best yet. Giving each other time with one another, a card game or two. Giving each other a little grief over certain memories that are a little too funny, not to bring up at every thanksgiving meal like tradition. I would like to point to out that I am Usually the one entertaing everyone with those memories coming up because I tend to be the indidunal getting injuried or say things I shouldn't say out loud. Just ask my stepbrother , he always gives me a hard time when he sees me but I enjoy it that means he actually kinda likes me if he doesn't admit it.

I also enjoy the giving back to the community through local shops for the christmas ornaments and yes I get that done before thanksgiving week. We as a family like to pay it forward when we are in line somewhere. And we enjoy picking a angel from the salvation army tree to help a family with their christmas. Giving is important through out the holiday season for everyone, you never know what giving to someone unexpectly could change their lives and what it mean to them without even knowing of them.

I am fully prepared for Maverick to swipe the turkey off the counter at any second, since he so tall now and his chin can reach the edge of the table top. Since getting that little guy and they said he has no food drive , let me tell you , Not true. I am hoping for his first thanksgiving , he won't sneak it away to his bed; Knock on wood for us. Besides Mavericks acticts, I can't wait for the thanksgiving meal with all the fixies! We all share a hand into preparing the feast in some way and form. I tend to do a side or two and possible dessert. I am considering making a fresh pumpkin pie this year. I always make sure, I get out of the turkey duty part. Because if there's a dry turkey on the table, I don't want the sides dishies coming towards me after the prayer. Better to be safe then in fire at thanksgiving table in my opinion.

Whats on your thanksgiving table? I am curious to know, is it all the same dishies every year or do add different dishies each year?

And its the time of the year where Black Friday is upon us. And the sales are on super early and deals go quick. I used to enjoy the black Friday experniece but the last few years , the Madness of the stores hasn't been worth it in my opinion. I do the thing where a few weeks I do some reaseach ideas of gifts for everyone and the add to my carts online, then save until the week of thanksgiving to purschage extactly what I need to get without go through all the madness. I called it the easy breeze shopping expereience with the discounts. And after that , I get a little yummy coffee from my favorite local coffee shop in town. I call that a win in its self. We has a family head to the local bazars in the town for little gifts to exchage.

Do you shop in stores on black Friday or online type of person?

Before I end this post, I have to know; do you start christmas dectoring right after thanksgiving day or the first of December? We are the type of family that starts dectoring , that Saturday. And yes we even put up the tree as well since everyone is in one place.

I hope you enjoy your feast or buffett of sorts! Get your deals and steals , Black Friday shopping; stress free Holiday.

With love always,

P.S : I can't wait for the christmas this year!
