The Camel Bookmobile
The Camel Bookmobile: A Novel | Masha Hamilton
10 posts | 6 read | 14 to read
Fiona Sweeney wants to do something that matters, and she chooses to make her mark in the arid bush of northeastern Kenya. By helping to start a traveling library, she hopes to bring the words of Homer, Hemingway, and Dr. Seuss to far-flung tiny communities where people live daily with drought, hunger, and disease. Her intentions are honorable, and her rules are firm: due to the limited number of donated books, if any one of them is not returned, the bookmobile will not return. But, encumbered by her Western values, Fi does not understand the people she seeks to help. And in the impoverished small community of Mididima, she finds herself caught in the middle of a volatile local struggle when the bookmobile's presence sparks a dangerous feud between the proponents of modernization and those who fear the loss of traditional ways.

1. My skin glows after using this mud mask. I love a lot of this brand‘s products and they are inexpensive and last a long time.
2. Shades of blue or black
3. Probably romance. I get annoyed with longing and love easily.
4. Yes. I wasn‘t born in Michigan, but I‘ve lived here 34 of my 36 years and in different regions of the state.
5. Usually sweet.

OrangeMooseReads @MinDea I‘m north of Grand Rapids. I can‘t make the little gathering happening today. And I couldn‘t make the one this passed weekend. If there is another gathering/meetup I don‘t know about it. 6y
MinDea Those might be the ones I was thinking about! I worked in Kalamazoo for about a year and would spend time in GR! 6y
OrangeMooseReads @MinDea I lived in GR for 13 years then moved to the thumb where my family lives, and then moved back to go to GVSU. After Man Cub was born I moved back to the thumb for a few years. Now we are back on the west side of the state. 6y
GypsyKat Where do you get this mask? I‘m interested! 6y
OrangeMooseReads @GypsyKat I usually get it at Ulta, but I‘ve seen it at Target as well. On average it‘s $7 or less. 6y
GypsyKat @OrangeMooseReads oh wow, awesome! Thanks! 6y

Quite the variety. My favorites were Mrs.Polifax on Safari and Tarzan of the Apes.
