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
