Not been on here since about 2012 and... it seems a fair amount has changed, at least on the surface. WDYM my blog isn't opening in a new tab?!

Anyhoo I've decided to try making a #langblr #bookblr #studyblr blog to track my language/reading/study progress. I'll mostly be posting TL (target language) reading updates and summaries of notes from uni. I might include mental health recovery updates (including ED recovery) but they'll be tagged separately so you can block them. Can you still block tags? (Hopefully!)

NOTE: Pretty much all my book updates will contain spoilers, so if you see a book you're interested in in the title of a post you may want to avoid reading it.

A bit about me...

I'm 27, he/him ??, Welsh

I know English and I'm learning Welsh and Polish

my fave book genres are general literary fiction and horror

first year part-time online English Language student - will probably add on French or German next year

I have like 12 mental illnesses :( and am disabled by them

Ffam, darllenais i tua 10 o dudalenne yn unig eto </3 Ond o leia gorffennais i'r pennod y tro 'ma.

Language is the obvious one, as I speak and write in English to most people I come across and am able to understand limited amounts in Welsh and Polish. I gesticulate a lot with my mum - the only person I'm actually comfortable around - but with everyone else I tend to be still and quiet but fairly facially expressive (as that's easier on my anxiety).

What else to write about?! Especially regarding how my CR pertains to my 'identity'. Something could be said about my anxiety/disabled status (see previous paragraph), but other than that I'm at a loss.

Darllenais i tua deg tudalen yn unig heddiw achos dw i arfer darllen mewn caffi ond es i i un newydd y bore 'ma a ro'n i'n rhy ofnus i aros am amser hir.

Eniwê, 'mond dipyn bach wedi digwydd yn y nofel heddiw. Daeth obsesiwn Guto ag alcohol i'r olwg eto - tybed a bydd hi'n bod i ran bwysig o'r nofel neu jyst aros yn y gefndir. Roedd e'n ysu am win yn ystod pryd o fwyd y tro 'ma, er roedd Lilian en ei erbyn hi. Aeth Guto allan i brynu record miwsig clasurol hefyd… er mwyn wneud argraff da ar Llinos. Paid â thwyllo, Guts! Arhosa 'da dy wraig!

Wczoraj w nocy i dzisiaj rano przeczytałem rozdziały pierwszy i drugi 'Maksio szuka domu' od Holly Webba. To jest stustronicowa opowieść dla dzieci o rodzinie, która dostaje nowego szczeniaka owczarka staroangielskiego.

W pierwszym rozdziału rodzina odwiedza mamę szczeniaka i postanowi, którego szczeniaka chce kupić. Wybiera szczeniaka, którzy podskakuje na Martę (młoda córka rodziny) i ją liza. Ona daje go imię Maksio.
