For Sarah's mini-challenge, I decided to read my copy of Harry Potter y la camara secreta. I only read a few chapters (reading in Spanish is a lot harder than reading in English), but it was nice to get another challenge done and to take a break from Pretties (even though I love the book and can't wait to finish it!).

Congrats on tackling Sarah's Mini-challenge. My kids have a few french books around here but I'm really bad at french.
Even if you didn't read as much this hour, your total is impressive! Keep it up!
WELL DONE on participating in the language mini-challenge!! It really doesn't matter how slow you are at reading in Spanish, the point is YOU DID it!! Hope it was fun too :)
A friend of mine was considering doing her masters thesis on how food was translated in the Russian version of Harry Potter - she didn't go ahead with it in the end, but I reckon it'd make such a fascinating research topic. It'd certainly make for interesting dinner party conversation :)
PS I wrote a blog post on the translation of Harry Potter into various languages if you're interested in taking a look? It's at http://www.dillonslattery.com/2007/07/harry-potter-in-translation.html
All the best!
Sarah (aka the naked translator)
