Update: I've finished my book, and now have two cats on my lap. Still stormy outside.

This is the first French book I've finished in far too long, but hey at least I'm keeping my reading goals to read more non-English books this year!

Now... on to another book, I guess, since it doesn't look like I'm moving any time soon.

wanderinglynn Aw, what sweet cuddle buddies! 6y
Lcsmcat I‘m doing the same. I read Tartuffe earlier and am trying to read more in French. 6y
llwheeler @wanderinglynn They are good kitties 😊 6y

llwheeler @Lcsmcat I'm discovering I really need to make it a conscious goal or else time just slips by and before I know it, it's been years since I read anything in French. How did you like Tartuffe? I read Le Misanthrope a few years ago but don't think I've read any other Molière 6y
Lcsmcat @llwheeler I loved Tartuffe! It was funny and (unfortunately) relevant. I‘m the same way with reading in French. Even though I have a full shelf of books in French, yet I‘ll go months without cracking one. 6y
llwheeler @Lcsmcat Good to know, I'll keep my eye out for it. ☺ 6y

Day 2 of #24in48! I only got 2 hrs yesterday, but I was out of town most of the day for my nephew's bday so really getting anything was good. I'm just shooting for 12 hrs this readathon and I think I can make it! Got my tea and my stack in arm's reach, let's do this!

Andrea4 I have had like no reading time!!! Mom's fri, dad's sat. And poor Ajax got traumatized twice at dad's by Rambo and Christmas crackers- resulting in panic attack for me trying to find him whimpering and yelping in the dark and then for Ry as he chased him down a dark street in the rain and watched a car almost run Ajax over! 6y
llwheeler @Andrea4 Oh my God, poor Ajax!! I hope you can all have a calm recovery day today 6y
Andrea4 Yea...he's probably going to sleep hard all day! We did too last night. I feel like doing absolutely nothing but i do have some stuff I have to get done plus a shift from 3-7pm tonight at the DC. 6y
llwheeler @Andrea4 well, hope you can snatch a few moments to do nothing in between 6y
Andrea4 Thanks, you too! 6y

Surprised myself how much I liked this. Loving and leaving, being loved and being left, the coming of love and the leaving of love. A woman and her soon to be ex-father in law talk long into the night.
