A Novel Challenge: Vietnam War Reading Challenge

Today, I just realized I have a lot of spare time on my hands, even as a kid. School work is a breeze getting by and I don't want to spend the remaining time of my day on the computer. So with my intense passion for reading, I decided to look into some novel challenges. (Just letting you know, my favorite types of books to read are historical war novels. I absolutely love them.) While I surfed through the links of this blog the words, Vietnam War Reading Challenge caught my attention.
With Vietnamese parents, both my father and my mother have experienced their share of the Vietnam War. Chased out of their homeland, they endured terrible hardships and fled Vietnam by boat - if lucky, by airplane.
As children of a new generation, I believe it's our duty to educate ourselves of the mistakes in the past and to make a change for the future - our future, and our children's future too.

And so, without a doubt, I wanted to do this novel challenge first.
Interested? Read up the rules right here.

Expect maybe a couple of book reviews and recaps on my trips to book stores. I'll be looking forward to this. In fact, I already have my first book I bought last week at Indigo. It's called, "Dispatches" by Micheal Herr.


Can't wait to get absorbed into the amazing world of literature.

Back again!

Hello everyone!
Guess what?

I'm going to take this blog seriously.
This will be the blog of my life. The ups and the downs and the in-betweens. Pictures will be up, and hopefully, I'll get some more readers... otherwise you can all lurk on my pointless, personal posts.
