I started listening to Cutting for Stone a couple years ago, but never finished it. I think I would do better if I read it. I don't do well with long audiobooks, although the narrator's voice was very compelling. Most of the other books on your list are books I want to read. Maybe someday. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-41048944118218984392016-09-13T06:01:38.300-07:002016-09-13T06:01:38.300-07:00I'm glad that I took a chance on The Poisonwoo...I'm glad that I took a chance on The Poisonwood Bible.

A few of her novels are set in Nigeria, "Half of A Yellow Sun" is particularly good. <br /><br />Here is the link to my TTT: https://4thhouseontheleft.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/top-ten-tuesday-all-time-favorite-books-in-x-genre/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-5513720800677884102016-09-13T03:24:05.802-07:002016-09-13T03:24:05.802-07:00Awesome list!
