Sadly, thing I was hoping will happen still didn't (view spoiler)
I'm with you Tea. I really enjoyed the book, but I wanted that to happen too! Can't wait until book 3 ;)
I hope so. JKR invests a lot in characters so I always expect them to come back at some stage :)

oh wow! I went to Holland a couple years ago...I don't understand Dutch...however...reading a supper menu...I found out I could figure out what a few things were! :)
I just finished this terrible book for a IRL book club this Sunday, and to add salt to the wounds, it can't even count for any letters!!!

It's fun to see similar words being used in both languages. I like the dictionary feature on the e-reader to find out the roots of certain words. I rely on French when trying to understand Spanish or Italian. Not always with great results :p
Catherine wrote: "and I speak French! :) "
Yes me too :) You learned it at school? Family?

French..I learnt in school in England. I also know some Italian...which I learnt later...but was very easy to pick up with my French...and I know quite a bit of Latin as well....from music and medical knowledge :)

If you're to busy to do it this week I can.

That's good then, if you can carry on with with roll, I'll do next week.
You still for rereading LotR?Maybe we should wait for TT to start so we can try to get extra points for buddy read. :P Of course only if we end up in different teams
❀Tea❀ wrote: "You still for rereading LotR?Maybe we should wait for TT to start so we can try to get extra points for buddy read. :P Of course only if we end up in different teams"
Yep, still up for rereading. To wait for TT or not?
Yeah, but if we are on the same team we don't get extra points for buddy read. (OMG, already thinking strategy *bangs head on table*)There are already BR threads so I'll need to check with mods if we can reuse those.
Not to mention we need to work on schedule (I hate that!) or you'll be strolling through Mordor while I'll be checking in to Prancing Pony. :P
If we're on same time we'll still get a few point due to the length of the books. We can be the hobbits doing LofR lolNot to mention we need to work on schedule (I hate that!) or you'll be strolling through Mordor while I'll be checking in to Prancing Pony. :P
Hahaha!!

I'll remember next week.
I spent the past 2 days getting ready to start classes this week. I think I forgot to update on Sat too.I did finish Shattered Valor and Honor Unraveled in the last coupe of days.
I am also not at home for the next 2 weeks so I will have spotty access to Internet, mostly only by phone so it is harder to deal with long posts.
I've had family home from New Zealand. They've been here for 6 weeks and are going back home tomorrow. So this weekend they been visiting all the family saying goodbye.

You're going to read it? I'm thinking of rereading LotR (not big fan of Hobbit really). It's been about year and half since I've done it..."
what language did you read them before?
