Friday, October 7, 2016; Book Meme Day 7
Oct. 7th, 2016 06:24 pmThis morning I had a doctor's appointment - just a regular check up. Since it was one of the earliest appointments of the day, it didn't take much time. I can check on my blood test in a few days on my phone app, which is pretty cool.
Tanya is feeling much better today. Her nose is not running much anymore and her temperature is normal. We are not going outside yet, but hopefully soon. My nose is running now, of course, but it is not as terrible as it can be.
I started on the second Temeraire book yesterday and I'm continuing to slowly watch "Luke Cage," about an episode per night. Mostly I'm just trying to grade - this work is busy work week since I need to get all Paper 2 done by Thursday. And I still need to find the time to write my pinch hit story.

7. If you’re not a native English speaker, how much do you read in your native language versus how much you read in English? How do you feel about that? // If you’re a native English speaker, go find a book in your second/third/etc language, or in translation, to add to your to-read list
I read much more in English than in my native language. I read about 2-3 books a year in Russian, and the rest, about 30 books, in English. And I read everything else in English: on the internet, for work, life in general. I do read more children's books in Russian now, since I read to Tanya a lot, many of classics I read as a kid, especially Chukovskiy and even some Pushkin. Sometimes, I would like to read a little more in Russian but most of the books I'm into are in English anyway.
