Wie geht's?
Books bought: as above. All from The Little Red Book Shop in Hastings.
Books read: Great Expectations (and I'm still going)
With being back to school and school being crazy busy this week, I've only had brief snippets of time to read for pleasure; 15 minutes while eating breakfast and 15 minutes while Jacky has her bath.
I'm loving Great Expectations - so different to the other Dickens' novels I've read this year. The language continues to amaze, excite, baffle, and delight.
Here are a few words I have come across so far that were new discoveries:
Farinaceous
Contumaciously
Gormandising
Ophthalmic (steps)
Excrescence
Frouzy (mourning of soot)Aren't they great!!
Love and peace - Wozza
