glinda: just trying to read (books/reading)
[personal profile] glinda posting in [community profile] readingtogether
The first week of the challenge has reached an end. Time to share with the class your triumphs and tribulations. Finish a book? Make a start on something that you've been meaning to get round to for ages? Are the lighter nights an excuse to stay up later reading or do you miss the Winter gloom for curling up with a book purposes? (Alternatively if you're on the other side of the world to me, does the opposite apply this time round?)

Triumphs and tribulations in the comments below!

I fell into a reread instead of tackling something from the To Be Read Pile, but hey - Eifelheim is always worth a reread! I really love how the 'medieval German' sections are handled; the language changes are mostly subtle but really do give a useful reminder of the translation convention (appropriate, since translation and multilingual communication are a big part of any first-contact novel).
