Home from Japan

So I am home from Japan.

I was forced to come back early (I still had 5 months left in the program) but I had to come back home to Minnesota...
I was far from the center of the earthquake or the nuclear explosion, but I had to come back home anyway since the exchange student program is taking everyone out of Japan.

The good part is that I can review books again and the bad part is that I have IB program for school...

I'm a bit backed up on reviewing the books I received (because I have more than 30 books that I still have to review before August 16--my departure to Japan, where I'll be studying abroad for 1 year) but I have been reading books like a speed demon (but actually still remembers what I like and what I don't). So I apologize for the slight lack of update, but I'm doing my very best to get the priority done--which is reading the books first, of course, before reviewing them.
