Lmao i feel like Asians are really into gold? My mom has a hoard and I ask for heirlooms every time I go home. When I was a kid, I thought it was tacky, and now I want to be covered. DRIPPING.

It definitely is for at least South Asians...my mom has gold bangles and necklace that she has been wearing ever since I was born. Like, the only time time I remember her taking them off is when she had surgery.

hahaha yes the obsession with gold is very pan-Asian from what I can tell. I roll my eyes every time a white woman claims yellow gold is "tacky," they're just mad it doesn't look good on them.

she has a lot of projects in the pipeline that i'm interested in. i appreciate her pivot away from her white man glorification.

She'll be back.

did someone say magical realism?

I want to read this book

currently reading The Midnight Library and enjoying it quite a bit, if anyone else has read other Matt Haig books lmk!

His "How to Stop Time" is a fun time-travel story, if you're into that kinda thing.

i'm always fascinated when books get optioned before they've even been published.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Some get optioned the same week as the publishing deal, especially if the literary agency has a film rights person (which is a thing with some of the bigger / more powerful agencies - the film rights agent will often be an exec producer on the movie if it gets made).

same! and jealous, as a wannabe writer who hasn't written a word since the pandemic started lol :(

[therearewords]

Same.

I can't wait for the day my parents reveal the gold bars they've been hiding away in a safe deposit box for decades.
