I am late to the books of @Kiran_MH and so grateful to @wendydirector for lending me The Mercies. I will be seeking out her other books soon. An incredible read and great March Break escape. https://t.co/1knYaR7Qri

A pleasure to hear @azarnafisi speaking with @piya on @CBCSunday about the power of #reading. I was SO fortunate to speak with her in one of our Keynote Discussions at the @girlsschools Global Forum several years ago. Can't wait to read her new book Read Dangerously!

"Didion’s most powerful work is painfully aware of the narrative arc ultimately traced by everyone’s life..." Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking was, for me, solace when my father died. I will always be grateful. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/24/opinion/joan-didion-books.html?smid=tw-share

An excellent read: Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo. "Sometimes the Seat of Power's truths were actually half-truths and mistruths as well as deliberate erasure. Which in turn made us understand the importance..of narrating our own stories...." https://t.co/WPOLfPeNs6
