I can't possibly finish this, it reads like a Harlequin novel with an extremely unsympathetic and improbable heroine. 😤

mhillis 😂😂I just picked it back up yesterday! 7y
tricours @mhillis how far have you gotten? I gave up at 30% 7y
mhillis I think I'm at around 20% 7y

After "puppy class" (where ours was undoubtably the most popular puppy that had everyone go "omg what IS that?!") out in the dark and cold of Norway I really want to dig into this. Except the wine is too cold from being in the cellar so I need to be patient ?

DeborahSmall I'm sure it will warm you up! Red wine gives me rosy cheeks 😊so I only drink it at home lol 7y
tricours What's wrong with rosy cheeks?! @DeborahSmall 7y
DeborahSmall lol after a bottle I think I'm more purple than rosy!! 7y
tricours @DeborahSmall if everyone else is also having a bottle they won't notice 😎 7y
mhillis I haven't been keeping up my resolution😅 Maybe I need to pair my language learning reading with wine!! 7y

Taking the 6 am train to the airport to go to Stockholm for work 😴Started reading the same book as @mhillis (only in translation) for some #russian #languagelearning

mhillis Nice! I'm just starting chapter 7 now. Have a safe trip 7y
Sarah83 That's pretty early. 😴 How long does that trip take? 7y
tricours @Sarah83 a little more than 1,5 h of train to the airport, then 1h by plane, so not very long 😊 7y

Sarah83 Is it a daily trip? If it's so, I would be too long for me. 😉 7y
tricours @Sarah83 no, it's until Wednesday! 2,5 days of meetings... 7y
Sarah83 Then it fits. What is your profession? 7y
tricours @Sarah83 I wouldn't say I have one, I'm a HR/Quality/Customer service/CRM person for a small, Nordic medico-technical company! We're just 6 ppl in total, and now we have a meeting in Sweden to discuss the new year. 7y
Sarah83 Sounds interesting 🙄🖒 7y
tricours @Sarah83 it's a great job really, lots of freedom, I decide my own hours and where I work (and the office is 10 min by foot from where I now live), Ill be able to bring my dog to work 🤗 7y
Sarah83 @tricours and what do you do the whole day? 7y
tricours @sarah83 I handle stock orders to our suppliers and product orders from our customers, shipping of products and technical service shipping and ordering for big devices, invoicing and payment of incoming invoices for our 5 companies, our information database (CRM system), our routines, shipments and handling of demo devices to customers... a bit of everything! 😊 And ISO certification! 7y
Sarah83 I would say you do everything. 😉🖒 7y

Tsubame すごい!I'm nowhere close to be able to read such a book yet, but this morning I went to a Japanese lesson and before my trip back to Germany I've been doing good with studying a bit every day ^^ 頑張ってね〜🎉 7y
mhillis @Cinfhen @Marchpane @LeahBergen Thanks for the encouragement!! 7y
mhillis @Tsubame This is the first time to read a novel. Usually I read Disney or parallel texts. I have Japanese lesson tomorrow so I'll find out how well I've understood the story🤣 Wow that's impressive that you kept studying in Germany too👏👏 7y

mhillis @DeborahSmall @Beckys_Books It's a big goal 😂 7y
