From Crazy Rich Asians to Cherry, our #FridayReads:

.@jafreenmu is re-reading Tahmina Anam (@tahmima)’s novel The Bones of Grace, “a story that draws you in so deeply into the world of its characters, I'm as captivated the second time around as I was when first reading it!”

.@MLRStrategy is reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, “a light beach read that’s been perfect for summer; a love story spanning socioeconomic and class divides that plays out amongst the uber-wealth of Singaporean high society. Will see the movie next!”

.@JRTtager just finished The Traitor's Niche by Ismail Kadare: “A story of tyranny and rebellion in the Ottoman Empire written by acclaimed Albanian writer Ismail Kadare; an excellent book and a quick read.”

.@NadxiNieto is reading If They Come for Us by Fatima Asghar (@asgharthegrouch): ”Asghar explores the repercussions of war, violence, belonging, sexuality, and coming of age as a Pakistani American in this fluid and engaging debut poetry collection."

.@ThomasOMelia just finished Amity and Prosperity by @ElizaGriswold, a true story of the devastating effect of fracking in rural Pennsylvanian communities that “reads like a thrilling detective novel.”

.@fletchlivesaf is reading Tragedy + Time by Adam Cayton-Holland (@CaytonHolland), “a gorgeous read about family and the suicide death of the comic's beloved little sister.”

.@dkatwilson is reading Cherry by Nico Walker: “Jesus’ Son meets Reservoir Dogs in a breakneck-paced debut novel about love, war, and bank robberies.”
