Jodi (readinbooks) | 1971 comments Good luck with your goal Zandraa. I usually make a list of books to read and then completely deviate from my list. Going with the flow is great.

Liene (rasaslase) Good luck with the challenge!
I have started two books, but haven`t finished any yet.

Xandraa | 29 comments I finished reading Blink by Malcom Gladwell.

Now, I am reading Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood and A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. This last one is because I am taking class via coursera.org called Learn how to Learn.

I try to mix genres. A little bit of this & a little bit of that. The only problem is that it takes me forever to finish series of books !

What are you all reading ?

Liene (rasaslase) I`m reading an interesting book Kaķis maisā. It`s in Latvian and it`s not translated in any other language. I would recommend it. It`s a fantasy novel about people who have two natures, human and animal. The main character is a cat.

I`m not the best at describing books.

There are a lot of good books in Latvian, but no one translates them.

I love Languages. I only read English but I speak Spanish & I can read in Spanish as well.

Liene (rasaslase) That's nice. Why don't you read in Spanish?

There are more books in English than Spanish here in the USA. Spanish is my mother tongue.
