    Lokks like you are doing better at your challenges than I am! I'm going to read Half of the Yellow Sun when my mum has finished she brought it for 20p (about 50 cents I think!) at a book stall the other day.

    Hi, I found you via the summer reading challenge. I am a great fan of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie too. Can I recommend that if you haven't read her first book PURPLE HIBISCUS, you might try that too?
