Weeks ago, I ordered Jacqueline Wilson's Secrets online. Unfortunately, I must have misread a blurb because I ordered a French copy and it arrived yesterday.
Our daily outdoor adventure became a trip to the local bookstore at which I purchased The Ultimate French Review and Practice. Yes, I have decided to put my French comprehension to the test and to read the French version.

My reading of the language is far better than my spoken or listening comprehension but it will be a struggle. In the past, I have read in German, a language in which I used to be fluent and can still negotiate rather well, but I have never had such facility in French in my adulthood. An adventure, to be sure!
That's a neat idea, reading a book in another language, even when you didn't mean to order it that way. Good for you!
