November Group Read: Check-in The Second

[glinda]

We're (almost) half way through the month now and how are we getting on? Procrastinating wildly? Reading everything except what we intended to? Forging ahead and putting everyone else to shame?!

Check in below with your triumphs and tribulations. Celebrate the achievements big and small, whether you got through a whole book or merely made a start on a book that's been taunting you for ages.

Look at all these comments here, well done everyone!

I finally finished a library book I've had out for, like, two months now. Or more technically two library books—Dix heures et demie du soir en été and then the Swedish translation, so I could read the French, check my comprehension with the Swedish, and then read the French again. So really I read the book three separate times. Oy.

That's so great; I love the reading-a-translation strategy. I hope the book held up through all three readings!

Oh! Well done! That's a clever trick for improving your reading comprehension and also must be quite a relief to be done now!
