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!”

Some recommendations and recent reads from our staff: #FridayReads .@NadxiNieto is reading Fruit of the Drunken Tree by @ingrid_rojas_c, a "stunning debut novel about violence and mythmaking that follows the lives of two women in Escobar-era Bogotá."

📚 It's #FridayReads time! 📚 .@fletchlivesaf is reading Dreamland by @samquinones7, an "exploration of how heroin was able to take hold of middle class America and how Purdue Pharma helped that happen."
