Welcome to Litsy!

Bailed because I didn‘t continue with my German reading, not because it was bad!

I did and finally finished my doorstopper novel. I really enjoyed it, but I need to refresh my British history to get a better grip on it. I felt that the author took sides and sometimes her characters felt a little flat, a little too black and white.

I am still fighting my way through this doorstopper. I really like the story, and I only have about 200 pages left, but still...I could have read a lot more books this year, had I chosen something smaller. Oh well...And did I mention there are four more novels in this series, equally long 🤔🤔

In Oslo for a work anniversary party, having a beer at the hotel before we hit the city's no 1 indie bookstore 😎

Friday evening with dogs! Decided to pick up this beast of a book again.

We're in it for life, me and this book!
And what a brilliant word, Genugtuung! I first mistook it for a Neanderthal style interjection.

I've hardly read anything this week. Today I've picked nettles and made soup from them, finished my taxes, and then I settled down on the sofa to read, got a Walter in my face instead.

I'll admit I did not know this was a 1200 page book when I started it. I thought it was 600 or so, but got suspicious when the percentage NEVER CHANGED. I've removed it now. Too demoralizing. The book is good though, not at all difficult to read! #languagelearning #german

My kind of breakfast! Prosecco with Norwegian waffles with brown cheese and jam �

We're supposed to get snow this weekend, so I'm getting what sun I can. (It was also supposed to rain right now, so there's always the hope that the forecast is just drunk.)

I'm the most alert in the mornings, so that's when I now try to read my next German book. #languagelearning
