Welcome! I am glad you are joining in! I read Half a Yellow Sun last year for the challenge and it is a really great book.

Make sure to check back frequently on the OT challenge blog as we will have fun things to share and neat ways to interact.

Happy travels to you!! 🙂

Blimey how many challenges are you doing? This one actually really appeals to me, I might belatedly get involved lol. Animals People and Half of a Yellow Sun are two simply stunning books, cant wait to hear what you make of them.
