Our goal will be to complete the book, A Long way Gone, in a total of 4 weeks. So this week focus on reading chapters 1-5. Be sure to post a blog at least once this week. It is important that all blog posts are pertaining to the book, otherwise comments can be used to discuss each blog and also for chatting (there is a difference). And remember make friends, we have women joining from around the country.
Thanks!

I'm so excited Candice!! So many billions of things I want to read, this will help me narrow down and it's nice to have 2 extra days on this first week!
I'll buy the book tomorrow! thanks!

I know that it is the case in many countries, but it boggles my mind how the 'RUF' can be natives of the same country and treat their own civilians, the people who's freedom they are 'fighting for' with such cruelty!
OK Candice, how do I 'blog' and not just comment here? I think I did it wrong.
