Today I wanted to mention Gail Tsukiyama’s new novel The Brighest Star which came out this week. It tells the story of Anna May Wong, Hollywood’s first Asian American movie star from her childhood skipping school to go to the movies and dodging bullies to success on screen, even if behind the scenes things are still difficult. I love a Novelised Real person novel, and I love books about Hollywood, so I don’t think it will be a surprise that I really want to read this one. The only question is how long it will take me to get hold of it because it’s a hardback release and we all know I’m not meant to be buying any more of them because they take me so long to read and the Kindle edition is priced accordingly. Maybe it’s one for the Christmas list. And yes I know, it’s June but I really do plan ahead with these things!
