In 2013 I didn’t' read a thing that wasn't originally written in English! (And truthfully my Italian isn't that great, but I've been surprised at how well Pinocchio is going--I thought I'd try it a bit before reading the translation.)<br /><br />Hopefully you'll have no problem finding good translated books to read, even with the England challenge!amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-9681160036267333272015-01-02T22:54:59.784-08:002015-01-02T22:54:59.784-08:00It is hard to pass up on some challenges, isn'...It is hard to pass up on some challenges, isn't it?

I think I need to stop signing up for more challenges, but there are so many interesting ones!

That makes it harder to read books in translation than for us uni-lingual people, so I think you deserve more leeway in this area. ;-)<br /><br />With my England challenges, we'll see how this one goes.

Hopefully you can find some areas to crossover or at least time to add some translations in!

I signed up for English lit and translations. :P You should laugh at me right now, though; it's not January yet and I have all these books that will fit the challenges that I want to read. But I won't because it's not January yet and I want CREDIT. How dopey am I? I should just enjoy them already...Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.com
