ReadingWithCats

Cutting for Stone: A Novel | Abraham Verghese

#readingwithcats is one of the best things in life. 🥰 It just feels wrong now to read my #kindle without Kindle Kitty on my lap. He‘s my favorite reading accessory.

Atlas of Lost Cities: A Travel Guide to Abandoned and Forsaken Destinations | Aude de Tocqueville

I had been planning on finishing this tonight, but apparently Trixie has other ideas. She's purring smugly to herself...

so-so

Hmmm. Loved the concept and ideas in this creepy take on fairy tales. Also enjoyed the twist and some of the writing was evocative. However, I felt the execution was lacking, and at times the story seemed to rush past plot points and suddenly I was reading a very different story. Didn‘t like the end at all but I see there is a sequel. Not sure I‘d bother reading it. Only okay for me overall #kittensoflitsy #klausthekitty #readingwithcats

Inselzauber & Inselsommer: Zwei Romane in einem Band | Gabriella Engelmann

Onwards!! Daily goal: 5% #german #languagelearning #readingwithcats

mhillis Nice! I've been language learning through reading too with

A certain woman

tricours @mhillis 👍 Would you recommend that book? 7y

mhillis Yes, so far I'm really enjoying it! I've been using an app called Wakaru that has a Japanese/English dictionary built in. Do you use something similar for German? 7y

tricours @mhillis oh good, I'll give it a try in Russian then, can't read any Japanese anyway! No, I just use a German dictionary on my Kindle. 7y

mhillis I couldn't find it in English translation! I can't read Russian😂😂 Hope you make your reading goal today! 7y

tricours @mhillis the Russians translate lots of Japanese literature, and it's always very easy to read since there's no need of complicating the syntax in a translation! (As opposed to original Russian works of literature) 7y

Elisa Oh my — what level German are you? I'm between B1 and B2 and have conversations in German on a daily basis, but the idea of reading books in German is a bit unappealing 😕 7y

tricours @Elisa oh, no level at all! I've never spoken a word of it, the only thing I can do is read a bit. 7y

Elisa @tricours interesting! And you feel you understand enough to enjoy it? Maybe that should be one of my reading goals for 2017, read at least one book in German 🇧🇪🤔😬 7y

Elisa I hope that doesn't come across as rude — I am just so curious! Because reading is sacred for me and I have been scared that forcing myself to read in German might ruin the experience 😬 7y

tricours @Elisa oh not rude at all! With this book I feel like I understand everything, it's just much slower than reading in a language I know well. I've always started reading early with my languages, and it has never ruined the experience for me! Get some easy readers to get a kick start perhaps? 7y

Elisa @tricours yeah, I was thinking of maybe checking out some abridged versions of familiar books that have been formatted for school-aged kids 7y

Sarah83 @Elisa If you are afraid to start with books, you may start with a comic or a graphic novel in German? Trust me english isn't easy for a german reader too. 😉 7y

Sarah83 @tricours If the dictionary doesn't fit enough, I also ask this app for translations: https://pda.leo.org 7y

Elisa @Sarah83 you know, a graphic novel is actually a great idea. I might grab one of my daughter's manga series! 7y

Sarah83 @Elisa I do it the same way. I have several books in english but I normally read in german and the ones a read in english are 'easy ' reads like comics. 😉 7y

tricours @Sarah83 thanks for the app recommendation, I've installed it! @Elisa Also, dual language books can be great, there should be loads for German! I've used a couple for Russian. 7y

Sarah83 @tricours You're welcome. 😉 @Elisa @tricours is right. Dual language books are a great idea. 🖒 7y

Elisa @tricours I haven't come across a lot of dual language books for English and German but maybe I should start actively looking for some! Thanks for the suggestion! 7y

Sarah83 @Elisa You might have a look at the 'Reclam' publishing. The have classic books in both languages. Mostly for german students learn english but you can also take it to learn german. 😉 7y

Elisa @Sarah83 thank you, I'll check them out! 😃👍🏼 7y

tricours @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com have you read any of his other books? 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I haven't yet. I have The Given Day in my TBR but haven't tackled it yet since it's so massive. Have you read his other stuff? 7y

tricours @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com nopes! I checked what else of his was on Audible and the answer was A LOT so I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of choices... 7y
