Child of Dandelions

Finished up Uganda's book, Child of Dandelions, by Shenaaz Nanji. While the actual writing was not all that good, the story itself was intriguing. If you are interested in the forced expulsion of Indians from Uganda, this book could be interesting; otherwise, I would try to find a different book, as this one's writing made it a little hard to follow, keep track of who was who, and really immerse yourself in it. However, it was a pretty good, quick read.
I'm trying to get back on track now; finishing this would be an amazing feat for me! Wish me luck!

Summer!!

School is out as of last Friday, so the summer now stretches ahead of me as an opportunity to catch up!!! Except for the fact that I'm writing 2 novels (campnanowrimo.org), finishing one from November (nanowrimo.org), completing geometry and chemistry, getting through trigonometry, keeping up with Spanish, going to the beach, having company, working part-time, taking karate, finding another job, drawing (100sketches.proboards.com), and doing who knows what else, I'm pretty open this summer! :D
I started A Fine Balance, and it is very good and easy to read. But 603 pages. So, we shall see how quickly I can complete it!
