TBR Inspiration #2

Going back through my notebooks to find these lists is like a trip down memory lane. Many of these books I read years ago and it's nice to remember the enthusiasm I had for them. Although the original lists were made using Amazon, from now on I'll be making them using Wordery's similar feature, and as usual titles link to Wordery and are affiliate. 

This second list for your TBRs is originated by my obsessive love for Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi

Lipstick Jihad by Azadeh Maoveni

A Beginner's Guide to Acting English by Shappi Khorsandi

Thursday Night Widows by Claudia Pineiro

Tabloid Girl by Sharon Marshall

Hotel Heaven: Confessions of a Luxury Hotel Addict by Matthew Brace

Gross Misconduct: My Year of Excess in the City by Venetia Thompson 

Confessions of a Reluctant Recessionista by Amy Silver

Talking About Jane Austen in Baghdad by Bee Rowlatt

Message from an Unknown Chinese Mother by Xinran

What the Chinese Don't Eat by Xinran

Dreaming in Chinese by Deborah Fallows

Country Driving: A Chinese Road Trip by Peter Hessler

Nothing to Envy: Real Lives in North Korea by Barbara Dennick

What I love most about making these lists is how sometimes you'll get a ton of stuff that's clearly very related to the title you started out with, and other times (like this time) it's a completely random assortment. I've not read any of these, although I did read and adore Xinran's The Good Women of China, so I'm hopeful for the other titles by her appearing on this list. The last title also looks really intriguing to me. 

Have you read any of these books?
