Mateji ustvarjata: Branje // Readings

V zadnjem času mi je pa uspelo prebrati en kup knjig.

I've read a lot recently.

Najprej sem šla malo na otročje in obujala spomine. Pet prijateljev, Skrivnosti in zbirka Replika. Včasih sem vsako brala po cel teden, zdaj sta šli po dve na dan.

I felt a bit childish at first and read the books I loved as a teenager. Famous Five, The Barney Mysteries and Replica series. I used to read each of them for a week, now I was able to read two a day.

Famous Five series, The Barney Mysteries & Replica Series

Ampak, med počitnicami se je treba tudi učiti pa to. Meni se je zdelo tole kar uporabno znanje zame:

Anyway, now to more serious business. It's important to learn on holidays too so I found this to be very useful knowledge for me:

Michelle Lovric & Nikiforos Doxiadis Mardas: How to Insult, Abuse & Insinuate in Classical Latin

Zapomnila si seveda nisem nič, zato nadaljujem z našimi kletvicami ...

Of course I didn't remember a thing so I continue to swear my way ...

Potem sem naletela na tole knjigo, ki je veliko obetala:

Then I stumbled upon this book that looked promising:

David Gibbins: Atlantis

Ampak ni bila nič od tega, kar sem pričakovala. Želela sem le odkrivanje Atlandite ne pa tistega dolgčasa (no evo, to besedo bi lahko nadomestila katera od latinskih) o orožjih in bitkah (pa sploh ne starodavnih, ampak z današnjimi tihotapci, blabla!). Meh. Na sredini sem obupala in preskakovala strani.

But oh it was nothing I expected. I only wanted to read about discovering Atlantis not all those things (see, now my Latin knowledge would be useful) about all the weapons and battles (and battles nowadays, not 6000 years ago!). Bah. I just gave up in the middle and jumped pages.

Bali Rai: The Crew

Potem sem šla na dve že znani knjigi, ampak sem njuno zgodbo že itak napol pozabila, je bilo treba osvežiti spomin.

Then I read two already known books, but I forgot the stories in those few years I didn't read them. So it's almost like reading them for the first time.

Lauren Weisberger: The Devil Wears Prada

Seveda sem morala pogledati še film. Meryl zmaga!

Of course I had to watch the movie too. Meryl is the best!

Tale knjiga je bila pa res super. Vohuni, malo napeto, malo okoljevarstvenih zadev (ampak ne preveč).

And this book was great. Spies, some nail-biting, some environmental stuff (but not too much).

Jean-Christope Rufin: Le Parfum d'Adam

Med brskanjem po knjigah (zgornje so itak vse razen Prade izposojene v knjižnici) sem ugotovila, da nimam veliko knjig v slovenščini. Book Depository je cenejši, še dobro, da znam kolikor toliko angleško.

While I was looking through my books (those you've seen so far are all from the library though, except Prada) I found out I don't have many books in Slovene language. They're quite expensive here, so Book Depository rocks! Luckily I know English (well, more or less).

V slovenščini so samo recepti.

Only recipes are in Slovene.

Muffins & Cupcakes and Vegetarian Food

Sicer pa nameravam v kratkem prvič ali ponovno prebrati še te:

But I'm planning to re-read (or read for the first time) these:

Tim Gunn

Obožujem Tima Gunna. Res. Najbolj. Grem pisat Božičku, da mi prinese njegovo novo knjigo! Če je ne bom prej sama naročila.

I love Tim Gunn. I adore Tim Gunn. I love Tim Gunn. I'm gonna write Santa to buy me his new book! If I won't order it myself till then.

Hayleyina knjiga je super. Napisali sta jo z mamo in res je nekaj posebnega. Ena mojih najljubših, Hayley preprosto moraš imeti rad.

Hayley's book is great. She wrote it with her mum and it's really special. One of my favourite books, you gotta love Hayley.

Hayley Okines: Old Before My Time

Leva je za moje načrtovanje popolnega 3-5-dnevnega izleta v London. Najbrž me bo težko dobiti nazaj domov, ko bom končno šla tja ... Desna je super, ker si podobna "neumna" vprašanja dostikrat postavljam sama. Moram kupiti še drugo, da izvem, zakaj pingvinov nikoli ne zebe v noge.

The left one is meant for me to plan the perfect 3-5-day trip to London. I'll probably just stay there - I'm madly in love with it before I even went there, so I guess I won't want to go back home. The right one is great for me, because I tend to ask those "stupid" questions myself all the time. I have to buy the other one to find out why penguins never get cold feet.

London and some answers

Pa še moja najljubša otroška knjiga. Risanko (z glasom Christopherja Plummerja!) sem gledala, ko sem bila majhna, knjigo sem kupila šele zdaj.

And my favourite children's book. I watched the cartoon (with Christopher Plummer as the narrator!) when I was little, but I bought the book as a grown up.

Margery Williams: The Velveteen Rabbit

Ha, v roke mi je padla še tale stara knjiga. Kupila sem jo še v osnovni šoli, ker sem bila seveda zatreskana v Leonarda DiCapria. Mi je še vedno všeč, ampak zdaj le njegovo igranje.

I found this one in the bottom of the shelf! I bought it in primary school, many years ago when I was crazy about Leonardo DiCaprio. I still like him, but only his acting now.
