  1. I finished The Miniaturist, a Mary Kondo book, the Choir and a study in Death...
  2. On the left, under explore is tab ‘saved’ there you can find saved posts, one can even folder them ? we have required exams here, and I am therefore member of an exam facebook group. If people are talking about an exam we are preparing for, and they say something important or useful, I save their posts. I suppose it is comparable with an ACT / SAT / AP facebook group. (Supposing they exist)
  3. One can save posts on facebook and unsave them. I use that with examtopics: I save posts during preparation time, and unsafe them when the exam is passed ?
  4. I read 14/25 books of the bingo squares I read about 12 books that I am sure they fit in the Brit Trip, I read also about 5 books I don’t know where to fit in. I was ahead and now behind of my reading goal this year, but hopefully summer will make everything well. Meanwhile I am studying Christmas songs and the Deutsche Messe for choir ?
  5. Yes we skipped several episodes of the TV series of Aspe, while watching with dd. Belgic politics are difficult!
  6. I finished a book! Finally ? I read the Miniaturist (translated as: the house in the Golden bent) up to finish my Ebooks.
  7. It is the cloud thing, not the app - i think -. I read the cheapest one ? , S tudy in Death
  8. So that is not the same as this? (See photo) we can’t borrow ebooks at the library. dd has a real kindle, and I have an I pad. And I use the family library function to seperate our books My kobo app is linked to www.bol.com and frequently English ebooks are cheaper there... (it is a dutch eshop though) but I hoped to continue ‘the Choir’ on the ferry, but now I started a lady darby mystery. She was on my kobo app and my kindle app failed again to popup my downloaded books ?
  9. For kindle app on tablet readers? How can I read without internet connection? I can read KOBO books, on my kobo app off line, but why does the kindle app not work??
  10. Nothing finished but found at a National Trust secondhand bookshop a lot of Rebbecca Shaws 1£ / book (against 8€ per ebook) So I can read some fun this summer ? I almost finished ‘Landlopers’ and started a book about Iona, about Celtic-Christian Spirituality.
  11. I don’t know what Physics 1+ 2 covers, but we like the IGCSE complete Physics serie for grade 8-10, you might want to take a look if the A level books compare to the grade 11-12 exams. I know IGCSE / A-level Biology was not a good fit with our exams.
  12. We did about 18 months about Pre A + Understanding Geometry we did one schoolyear about the first half of Intermediate Algebra. then we quit AoPS
  13. I wish i could quilt but am not precisely enough. So i like to admire someone elses work: great job!
  14. I thought it was set just after WWII, referring back to life in the interbellum ... We had shorts and shirts, but I am a litle younger then
  15. Reading dying in the wool (Kate Shackleton#1) someone wears a ‘gymnasium suit’. Is that a thing? Do people really those thing I see in google images? Gymnasium is in Dutch (Netherlands) the Latin-Greek track. They don’t wear specific suits...
  16. Books written by Baantjer? (Netherlands) Robert Gulik ( Judge Doe mysteries)?
  17. Just some random additions: there is a Brussels Bronte group: http://www.thebrusselsbrontegroup.org/ La Tulipe Noire by Dumas is set in the Netherlands during William of Orange. It took some while before we recognized all the Dutch names in French: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Tulip For those who liked the giant Peach concept from Roald Dahl, might enjoy Eric in the land of insects, a grade 7-9 classic for Dutch Literature. Flemish literature tend to end depressing... for those sensitive to that or just not in the mood pick carefully... furthermore I am willing to help / explain / translate as far I am able to...
  18. Dear daughter has been sick a lot this schoolyear. But she is doing fine now. We had a turbulent last few months, and all I want to do the next 2 weeks is read and walk...
  19. Not sure what area this is, but it seems to mee a good place to read Kate Shackleton:
  20. I could have used it, but it is the first year we use them, before we used Mary Glasgow magazine, but they became to easy. We prefer the Eli magazines, and used the German and the French one (different levels), the magazine topics fit the exams here. Latin has fixed texts so there is less need for magazine stuff ?
  21. We use these: http://www.elimagazines.com/www/en/magazines.html
