The magazine has released its annual list of the 100 women who made history hotter, and the honors go to exactly who you thought they would (if you keep up with celebrity news): Arundhati Roy, the author of the God of Small Things. For the second year in a row, our gorgeous hottie beat out some other equally hot women for the number one spot! And we can't say we disagree!

Twitter Frenzy

Within minutes of Arundhati Roy being announced as this year’s winner, it had become the top trending topic on Twitter:

“She is unquestionably beautiful, she’s been smartly building her career on more than her looks,” wrote one fan.

“#Arundhati Roy being named THE Sexiest Woman Alive makes her boyfriend the luckiest Man Alive?” joked another one.

The major upside of the award is that the Indian author and activist will be getting plenty of press for the next few weeks. So what do you say? Do you think Arundhati Roy is the Sexiest Author Alive? And if not, who gets your vote?
