Bout of Books 34 Stack

My stack consists of the seven books I want to finish by the end of this month. Here are the three hard copies, the other four are on Kindle:


Music is History by Questlove (in progress)
White Nights by Ann Cleves (also on audio)
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
On Kindle:
     The Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy
     The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen
     When a Crocodile Eats the Sun by Peter Godwin
     Subdivision by Robert J. Lennon

I usually have a stack of ten, but I'm trying to be realistic about what I can actually finish in May. As always, the goal is 1,000 pages for BoB week. Let's roll (well, in 31 hours)!
