    I began to read books in English 2 years ago and it becomes more and more easier to read in this tongue, I'm very happy to be able to discover new amazing novels without waiting for the French release (even I have to admit French publishers are improving that). :)

    That's funny: I also began reading books in English two years ago! Which book was it? I'm a bit curious, sorry.
    BTW, my (future) shelves are more and more filled with English books... And unfortunately, that doesn't mean I read more in this language these days (not much time to read, and French is much easier)!

    I can answer very easily this question. I read only 2 books in English during all my life. I read Harry Potter and the philosopher stone and The tenth kingdom because it doesn't exist in French.

    Thanks ^^
    But there's a lot of book that I don't understand in English, so I'm just reading YA novels (I read an excerpt of the Games of thrones and god I was lost ! XD)
    And reading in English is so much better !
    1. It's cheaper.
    2. Sometimes the covers are prettier.
    3. Sometimes translation in French are a complete disaster.

    I read three books in English : two for the school "The fifth child" by Doris Lessing, another I forgot the name honestly :(, and I started "Northern Stars" by Nora Roberts, but I didn't finish it... But it was pretty good, so I'll read all the book when I'll have some time!
