Thank you. The read along was great. Reading everyone's comments really enhanced the reading experience. Nice choices of books you picked and you're well on your way to Level 3.
I enjoyed Tyll for book #6.Now for #7, a mystery translated from Italian into German:
Das Nest der Schlangen: Commissario Montalbano ringt um Fassung
Hmm, so the mystery was so-so. Fairly easy to read with a few challenging vocabulary words.
Currently reading Born in the Big Rains: A Memoir of Somalia and Survival by Fadumo Korn and Sabine Eichhorst translated from German by Tobe Levin. Original Title: Geboren im Großen Regen: Mein Leben zwischen Afrika und Deutschland - Mit einem Vorwort von Karlheinz Böhm
Just finished #10: Allmen and the Dragonflies and this month I plan to read #11 Allmen and the Pink Diamond by Swiss writer Martin Suter. Translated from German to English. Both are entertaining distractions from the unhappy current world situation. I suppose I'll need to jump to level 3 once I finish #11.
