Hi everybody! How are you doing? Sorry about being so late with this update, I've had my mom visiting me, so I was never at home, always sightseeing! :) My leg muscles are so sore! Nevertheless, I've read half of my first Czech book! It's sooo boyish... I'm already tired of fights.

Ok, I need to learn to look and think before commenting :P Ignore my previous comment!
DeleteEveryone's doing well :D Awesome to see!
It's OK :) I just like to see all the reviews in one place - helps you to choose a book in a language :)
DeleteI am doing TERRIBLE. I'm not very far into my book, I'm in a blogging slump, my 'relaxing' summer has turned busy and stressful and a little bit scary, and I think I am just not up for it this time. Which, given that I have yet to admit to failing at a reading challenge, really shows you that I'm not doing well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club, hehe :) Don't stress yourself! Slumps and shit happen! Just weather it through!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that your summer has turned out so busy and stressful. I hope you are able to turn it around and be able to enjoy August.
DeleteThat's great that you've had such a nice visit with your mom! This year is proving bad for mosquitoes so I haven't been out much, which is annoying. I have a busy few weeks and then holidays start. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh, mosquitoes! Can't stand them! I hope there'll be less when your vacation actually starts! :)
DeleteI've failed miserably so far, but with exams in May and June, I barely had time to read until now. I had misplaced the French book that I wanted to read! I just spent twenty minutes looking for it because I could find the second part of the trilogy, but not the first one. Now that I've found it, I have all the books that I want to read nicely on a desk.
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds so familiar! May and June are also always busy for me because of the Uni. Good luck with your reading! :)
