I have a small to-read list that should keep me entertained until Saturday. It is important to stay entertained. Boredom leads to the internet, and the internet contains spoilers.
Fred Vargas: The Three Evangelists
(original title: "Debout les morts"; I read it in English because I completely thought Fred Vargas was an English man. She's actually a French woman. I suck!)
It's about a trio of historians trying to catch a murderer.
Leonie Swann: Three Bags Full
(original title: "Glennkill"; once more, I assumed the author was British or American. I mean... Swann? I am very proud that I discovered that she is in fact German. That's how I managed to buy the German version and not again get stuck with a translation I wouldn't need!)
It's about a herde of sheep trying to catch a murderer.
When was the last time I read a book about detectives catching murderers?

Summary of this blog so far :
Anna shares amusing anecdotes about what nationality odd authors are.
Hey, this is important!
Imagine you are so crazy about reading English authors in the original English that you fail to notice that some of the books in that sections are only translations, and are originally in your mother tongue...!
I learned an important lesson.
