I am reading Lady of Quality by Georgette Heyer. I am a quarter of the way through it. I'm not impressed so far.

Thanks! It's really boring and repetitive so far. There is a lady who found a girl and a boy. They're young but not super young, just old enough to get married. So the girl tells about why she is running away (because their families are pressuring them to get married and they don't want to). The boy tells about how he saw her running and decided to follow her to make sure she ended up somewhere safe. So the lady says the girl can stay with her for a little while. Then the lady's brother comes over, so the lady tells him about why they are running. Then the girl's uncle comes over, so the lady tells him why they are running. And that is literally all that has happened in the first quarter of the book.

Why did I not think to look for this thread? I enjoyed last year's one so much and then I just forgot XD
Ah well. My goal this year is 52 books again, same as last year. I'm a bit behind already. Not good. Last year I stayed on track right from the beginning.

Oh well, you guys can easily catch up again :) This just means reading light literature or thinner books :)
I started reading "Elva dagar i Berlin" yesterday in Swedish. Seems doable so far. It is not a "easy" version, the normal one.

I'm halfway through Lady of Quality. The only other thing that has happened is that they had a party...
