Have fun reading :)

Thanks! :)

Enjoy your reading!

I've heard good things about Fangirl. Enjoy!

Lieke, do you read in English, Dutch or both?

I read in English, Dutch and Swedish :)
I prefer to read English written books in English, but before I didn't mind so I still have some English books translated to Dutch lying around. And sometimes I get books as a gift and they are in Dutch most of the time.

That's so impressive, Lieke! Wish I had that ability.

I agree Jonetta! I have always wanted to learn a 2nd language but just don't seem to have the aptitude for it.

I can understand Italian and have passable speaking Spanish but doubt that I could read a book in either language.

I think it is easier for me since you hear and read English in a lot of places. And I learned Swedish when I lived in Sweden.
But I wasn't very good in languages at school, I think you learn it better when you're in a country where you have to speak the language.

Happy reading!

I lived in Italy for three years and that's why I understand Italian but never read the language. However, I took Spanish in school and can decently speak it but never really got to use it all that much.

Enjoy your reading this month Lieke.

I finished my first book of the month I am number Four: The lost files Secret Histories by Pittacus Lore.
It contains three stories that give you more information about characters from the books, like the books I like them a lot, the characters are great and the stories have a lot of action.
Now I have to find out what is the best order to read the books and stories I have left :)

Yay!

Hope you have a good reading month, Lieke!

It's great that you can reading in so many languages.

While I'm fluent in reading, writing and speaking Hebrew, it is my 2nd language and I find it much more difficult to read for enjoyment. So I mainly read the newspaper in Hebrew but my pleasure reading is only in English.

Thanks Lauren and everyone I forgot to thank before :D

The Olympic games are not good for my reading time....
But I like watching all those different sports even ones I normally wouldn't watch :)

I know!. Its really cutting into my reading time :0)

I just finished Fangirl, managed to finish it because I decided to do nothing this morning but read :)
I loved the book and the characters, I didn't mind the Simon or fanfic parts, but they didn't add anything either. Not sure if I'm interested in reading Carry On. I recognized myself a bit in Cath, but I'm not that bad although I love my reading days :)

And now the Olympics are not just going to take my reading time, but also my sleeping time since all the athletics finals are in the middle of the night.....

I'm doing a Read-A-Thon with another group on GR and it has made me read a bit more than I normaly do in a week:
The Housekeeper + The Professor
Het Dolende Schip
I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Rebel Allies

And that was good because the week before that I didn't read a lot.
Very different books but all very good.
