TBNT ep3 | Crazy Rich Asians

We are Honey and Diana, two Malaysian gals who really love diving into books of all kinds. Welcome to 2 Book Nerds Talking where we discuss books we love or those hot on the read list. We get to share reading insights, bookish topics, pick the minds of occasional bookworm guests and other general book nerdery. If you love books as much as we do, this is the podcast for you!

2 Book Nerds Talking is hosted by Honey Ahmad and Diana Yeong. In this episode we delve into the world of Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, a sparkling and sharp look into the decadent lives of Singaporeans with romance thrown in. We talked about money obsession and how it can't buy you happiness and how escapism books can still have great characters. Our bookish topic is of course looking into book to movie adaptations with the Crazy Rich Asians movie and how complex it is to shift narration from page to the visual medium.
