I know I'll be attempting <em>Pinocchio</em> again, but the Spanish title will probably be a spur-of-the moment decision. (I have a number on my shelf to choose from.) I'm kind of craving a Spanish read, so maybe I'll get started sooner than I expect...amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-5081815890971879532013-05-21T16:37:01.963+02:002013-05-21T16:37:01.963+02:00Okay, I'll try!

Well, I suggest you at least give it a try :) It's a bit scary to begin writing something, but then after a couple of sentences you get used to it :) I'm planning to do another monthly round-up post with all the reviews at the end of May, so you may be in time for this if you are already finishing! :)Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-71961671039249645662013-05-21T15:50:49.814+02:002013-05-21T15:50:49.814+02:00Two more weeks of school for us, too, then we will...Two more weeks of school for us, too, then we will be traveling for the entire month of June. I'm working on a Harry Potter in German, Der Stein Der Weisen. Progress is slow but steady; I usually read it while waiting for my two youngest at their YMCA phys.ed. classes. Three more chapters to go, and I really would like to finish it before we leave, and take something else in German with me. I wonder if I'm up to actually writing the review in German... :) Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784890975490896640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-83040780324631226742013-05-04T01:16:38.675+02:002013-05-04T01:16:38.675+02:00I'm going to give it a good shot, but I doubt ...I'm going to give it a good shot, but I doubt that I can finish it, so something easier might be a good idea. :)<br /><br />I did pick a Danish book! I thought I had a couple more but they seem to have disappeared. I found an Agatha Christie mystery, which is not what I was hoping for but will at least be quite readable. "Det caribiske mysterium," or "The Caribbean Mystery."Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-1997161660107546522013-05-03T17:53:51.118+02:002013-05-03T17:53:51.118+02:00I'm also not living but surviving until the en...I'm also not living but surviving until the end of the semester... But June is soon! <br />Do you want me to find you something easier?

I'm just trying to survive till the end of school (3 weeks for the kids, 4 for work!). <br /><br />I took a look at the cute Alisa book you sent me and I don't think I can read the whole thing, but I figured out some of it. I need to pick out a Danish book from my shelf; maybe that will be my job for today.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.com
