Nayantara Roy

I highly recommend THE MAGNIFICENT RUINS by Nayantara Roy to anyone who likes messy heroines with messy families. An unexpected inheritance sends Lila back to her family in India, where life is immediately complicated by secrets both past and present. Emotional, immersive. #ewgc

I've recently felt the desire to re-read One Hundred Years of Solitude. And as I read the first page, I remembered the electric, shattering effect that this novel had on me when I first read it. Thread below, and a new year's wish...

@minhalbaig @jjpirro good going, Minhal. I cannot wait to watch x

@Jabartender this is my nightmare

The car behind on me on the 710 right now literally burst into flames while it was driving.
