dely's book and challenges in 2022

[Luffy Sempai]

I want to be able to converse with people online, but also read books, like you said. As for travel, I'm not rich and currently I'm saving for a trip to England.

French was compulsory at school, and Spanish was optional at college. I love all languages, pity I can't learn a lot, like I hinted at.

I think that learning languages is wonderful so I wish you all the best with your learning (even if you didn't choose Italian :D)!

Thank you! :) We chatted for a bit, and were decent to each other. What could one want more? See you around :)

24) Domani e per sempre by Ermal Meta 5*

No English edition. I coudn't find a better way to finish my reading year! It has been a Christmas gift from my son (picked randomly from my GR wishlist) and it was an amazing book, really liked it! The author is from Albania but has Italian citizenship. The book follows the main character, an Albanian, from his childhood to his adulthood, from WWII to the fall of the communist dictatorship in 1991. It was very well written, the content was interesting, and the plot was perfectly interweaved with a lot of turns and twists.
