It was good. I'd say even little better than first one.
Sadly, thing I was hoping will happen still didn't (view spoiler)

I hope so. JKR invests a lot in characters so I always expect them to come back at some stage :)

Depending on the accent certain regions are difficult to understand for me too. 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 :)

Not as busy as I thought I'd be. My trip was canceled (at least for me) in a way. In another words I'm not there all the time but every other day I go there and back again (*snikers*).

Yep, still up for rereading. To wait for TT or not?


message 1189: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments 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

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5772 comments 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 lol

I'll remember next week.


Turtlecollector Dennis | 1164 comments 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.
