I love Adichie too. The Thing Around Your Neck is the only thing I have yet to read of hers. I'm holding out like it's a treasure I don't want to open yet.
Mod

Interesting list. I have a few on my to read list and have just finished My Sister, the Serial Killer which was on some lists and not others. I enjoyed it My Review
Mod
I accidentally read that one early, so I had to remove it from this list. I enjoyed it, too.
