My favorite book this summer was Big Vegan Flavor! It usually lives on my kitchen island and I recommend it to everyone.

I read “Martyr!” by Kaveh Akbar off your recommendation and I absolutely loved it. One of my favorite reads this year! I trust this list has some more gems on it too

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is my ultimate recommendation, if I were restricted to a single novel.

Im also a big reader! This post made my day!! 💕💖 My favorite book I've read recently was That Thing About Bollywood! It is a wild and funny tale of a girl named Sonali who lives in California who doesn't feel safe expressing her emotions, until one day the entire world gets a Bollywood makeover (complete with makeup and dancing and background music!) and she finds herself breaking out into song whenever she feels strong emotions. She is forced to confront the root of the issue with her emotions because of this. This was the most colorful, fun, and moving novel Ive probably ever rea

What’s on your summer reading list? Here are some faves I’ve read in the last few months:
▪️The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong: Some books keep you so engrossed you lose track of time. This is one of them. Read it!
▪️Remainders of the Day by Shaun Bythell: A daily diary of all the customers who come into the author’s secondhand bookstore in Scotland. Think Ricky Gervais humor but PG. A nice light read to pick up from time to time.
▪️Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang: A powerful memoir about a child and her parents’ struggles as undocumented immigrants from China, navigating life in NYC in the '90s. It was a constant reminder of the passport privilege I possess.
▪️Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius: A poignant, sometimes dark, coming-of-age story about an indigenous girl in Northern Sweden who struggles to defend her family way of life against a backdrop of xenophobia and discrimination, violence, and climate change.
▪️This is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz: A collection of short stories on love and life written by a Dominican-American narrator who’s witty yet deep, funny yet profound, flawed yet lovable.
PS: I finally made a Good Reads page where I'm adding all the books I've read over the last few years 🤓 www.goodreads.com/nisha_vora
