We have a public holiday today in Germany today, to celebrate 500 years - to the day - since Luther started the Reformation by (apocryphally) nailing his 95 Theses to the door of a church in Wittenberg. To celebrate, here is my little special-edition Playmobil Marty posing with some paraphenalia from Luther-related exhibitions I've been to this year. #germanlyf #reformationstag

A book exchange has just popped up inside an old telephone box in my town, and I'm loving it! I dropped these two off today, so I won't feel guilty if I take one without putting something back next time. #germanlyf

Last seminar of the semester with my 'Deutsche Literaturgeschichte II: Von der Aufklärung zur Goethe-Zeit' class. Most of the class are retirees who now take university classes for fun, and they've all become like my little German family. At this point, I think they're as invested in bettering my German and writing my thesis as I am! Today one of the ladies gave me this and another book as a present, and I nearly cried! #germanlyf

scripturient That's lovely! Which uni are you attending? 7y
scripturient If you're still in Germany in late September: we're having a Litsy meet-up in Cologne on 30/9. You're more than welcome to join us!! 7y
danistclair @scripturient thank you, that's super nice! I study in Göttingen and will be here until February, but I think I will be travelling elsewhere in Europe at the end of September, because it is my last chance before semester starts again. But if that's not the case, I would definitely love to join you! 7y

Five months and two trips to Berlin later, I'm finally reading this comtemporary exploration of the city in the 1920s #LitsyAtoZ #LetterW #nonfiction #germanlyf

When I moved here almost 3 months ago, I brought two books with me (Sorcerer to the Crown and Walking in Berlin). Now I'm in double digits and I have no clue how I'm going to get them all back to Australia when the time comes! Also, is anyone else driven absolutely round the bend by the way that English-language spines read top-to-bottom, but other languages like German read bottom-to top? I can't deal, I have to keep them separate 😂 #germanlyf

alanacristin Yes! I have to separate my French and Japanese books for the same reason! 😦😦😦 7y
danistclair @alanacristin Good to hear that it's not just me! 7y

Devil in Spring | Lisa Kleypas

If anyone is wondering how uni in Germany is going, I've discovered a new level of stress, which can only be countered by bilingual binge-reading of Lisa Kleypas. 😂 I'm using Devil in Spring as my #LetterD for #LitsyAtoZ though, so at least it's contributing to something! #romantsy #historicalromance #germanlyf

EloisaJames Hang in there! 😘 7y
danistclair @EloisaJames thank you! I think I can see some light at the end of the tunnel today 😂 7y
EloisaJames @danistclair romances got me through grad school. You can do it! 7y
danistclair @EloisaJames Thanks. I think a lot of us owe our sanity to romance novels! 7y

The downside of being so exhaustingly busy at the moment is that I've only read about 3 books so far this month. But, on the upside, I've rediscovered my love of (affordable) magazines. Plus, check out this awesome sticker from F-Mag that I've stuck on my Kindle cover! #germanlyf
