[My two cents on... Cinder] « It was not her fault he had liked her. It was not her fault she was a cyborg. She would not apologize. »

Good afternoon, how are you?

I finally read my first novel in English and I want to try to talk about it. :)

Overcoming the fear of reading English books. (And other thoughts)

Hi there! 

How are you today? I'm quite fine if I don't pay too much attention to my neck ache. But I'm not here to talk about this. 

I finally decided to face my fears of starting reading a book in English just by doing it. I know, that's what you always have to do when you want to overcome a fear or something similar, but if you don't have self-esteem like me, the decision can be quite difficult. 
Anyhow, I have done it starting Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I can't say that I understand every single word that I find but at least I can understand what I read, even if I check some unknown words on the dictionary. Despite that I still have some difficulties to get into the story but it's only a matter of time, I'm sure of it.

In my shelf I have a lot of books and half-a-score of them are in English. Despite that I've never tried to pick one of those titles and at least give it a try, mostly because I've never thought that I would be capable of understand what I read or something completely different like talking via Skype with a motherlanguage. 

The beginning of a new adventure.

Hi there, I'm Debora and I'm just one girl like billions on the Earth. I'm 20, I'm Italian and I love reading books.
This blog in fact is born with the idea of talking about something that I love - books! - trying to use my acknowledge of the English idiom to make something that'll be useful for me and maybe for you. I don't know if my thoughts will be grammatically fine but I'll do my best to test myself and see what I can do.  It will be hard? Sure, I love Italian and I speak my mother language every single day, since the day I spoke for the first time, but I need to do this and I hope you'll be by my side in this adventure. 
Like I said before I'll talk about books, mostly the English ones that I'll read; why? I already have a blog in Italian where I talk about stuff in general: books, videogames, doramas, thoughts on my mind...  so, as you can see, I already have plenty of books to talk about, and most of them are just the Italian version of a book write by an English author. 

I don't know when I'll post my 'first' thoughts on a book but I bet that they will be on Cinder, mostly because tomorrow I think that I'll start it thank to a project on aNobii. Yeah, I'm on aNobii and Goodreads even if I don't like socials. xD

For now this is all I can think so I hope that would be enough. If you want, leave a comment.

Cheers,

Just one girl named Debora.
