Challenges Completed; Reviews to Come!

By Rebecca Foster on August 31, 2025

I have another 6 books to tell you about for Women in Translation Month, and I finished reading the last of my 20 Books of Summer today. But my grand plan to write everything up by the end of August did not come to fruition. Instead, it’s been one of those rare weekends where we had all-day events both Saturday and Sunday, plus did various cooking and baking projects, so I couldn’t fit in any time with a laptop. I’ll catch up during the first week of September.

Looking forward to reading your roundups whenever you get to them—sometimes life just gets in the way!

  We’re hardly social butterflies, so I shouldn’t complain about having the odd very busy weekend!

    Then again, sometimes it feels harder when socialising isn’t your normal state of being!

    For sure. Being introverts, we need recovery time after days like those.

    Full sympathy. I was out all day three days in a row recently and have not yet really recovered.

  Thanks! All the obligation and disappointment are self-inflicted.
