24in48 Stack
I've been so busy that I'm just now getting around to my stack, and I'll be starting 24in48 in just an hour and a half! Without further ado, here it is:
Monsoon Diary by Shoba Narayan
How to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Acichie
The Tao of Travel by Paul Theroux
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
All the Little Liars by Charlaine Harris (also on audio)
White Tears by Hari Kunzru
not pictured: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (Kindle)
My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier (Kindle and audio)
The Hand of Ethelberta by Thomas Hardy (Kindle)
The top three are a shoutout to #Diversity. Obviously, I won't finish all these, but I like to have lots of variety and this will be my reading material for the next few (or several) weeks. Can't wait to get started! I'm hoping to get in an hour or two before I have to sleep tonight. I'm starting at 10:00 p.m. MST to coordinate with the "official" time of midnight EST.
