Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble by Dan Lyons

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

Whoo-hoo! Two non-fiction books gets me two more squares and two Bingos! I may not manage a black-out before the end of the month but I am finally making some headway in this game. CBR 11 Bingo: Award Winner The Devil in the White City- Erik Larson Y’all, I read this book in July and then completely forgot about it.
