#Sign-up post: Summer in other languages

• During the pandemic 2020 I could not focus on my reading.
• 2021 has been completely different.
• I’ve discovered my French language skills again.
• After a year with NO French….it took me just one book to
• …tap into my vocabulary.
• French ..it is just like riding a bike
• ….get in the saddle and off you go!

• I discovered (…a bit late in a post on The Classics Club)
• this wonderful challenge that “has my name on it”!
• Lory at Entering the Enchanted Castle is running a new meme, 
• Summer in Other Languages, which with its three levels of
• commitment encourages bloggers to read works in foreign languages
• other than English or at least in translation.
• To find out more, take a look at Lory’s post here
• This challenge runs officiallly from June 1 to August 31, 2021
• …I’m tweaking it to my circumstances 1 July – 30 September.
• I will read ONLY in French during these months.
