Because of my overwhelming research project and the stuff I've been reading/skimming for that, I think the only book I can say I have definitively finished (which is not for my paper) was Harry Potter 7.
Thank God this is the last week of the semester. Pleasure reading here I come!

Not long now until you can read whatever you like then annak! It's always such a good feeling when semester ends. I just finished Eva Luna by Isabel Allende, it was good but I didn't enjoy it as much as The House of Spirits.

I finished Death comes as the end by Agatha Christie, I enjoyed it. Ancient Egipt was an interesting setting and I'm proud to say that I begun suspecting one of the character at some point, and I was right! I've been told that in a good crime story you shouldn't be able to understand who's guilty...but it was fun to guess it, for once. ;D

I don't know how it's called in english: In German: Die Sanfte - Dostojewski In Russian: Krotkaja - Dostojewski Is it a short story? I love Dostoevskij's short stories. I've had stomachache last night, I haven't slept much and I've finished Un viaggio chiamato vita (which means A journey called life) by Banana Yoshimoto. I liked it. At the end of the book Yoshimoto wrote she's not able to write non fiction and she just collected her thoughts in this book, I admit I haven't liked it as much as her fiction but it was a nice read.

I finally finished Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott. For some reason this book took me ages to read, even though I am on holiday.
