Reading Challenge 2015-July

In the city just for a day and for a couple more medical tests.
I only have time to blog about my summer reading so far which I really enjoy!
The books I read in July for the So little sleeping and so much reading #readathon15 challenge.
Stephen King's Insomnia Loved it! (Over 600 pages category/ 1out of 4 in the Summerreadathon country U.S.A)
 Autumn Wounds (Guz Sancisi) by Yilmaz Karakoyunlu. Although the story was so touching and so related to me and my parents' life in Istanbul I didn't really like the writing of the author.(A book I borrowed category/ 2 out of 4 in the summerreadathon country Turkey)
 The loneliness of the borders by Glykeria Grekou. I really liked this book. It expresses anti racism ideas and it really related to me and how I felt as a child coming to Greece from another country. (A book in my bookcase for a long time category)
 Perfume by Patrick Suskind I had read the book in Greek and had seen the movie and really loved both. Having found this in English really made me want to read it again and I loved it once again. ( Horror category/ 3 out of 4 in the summerreadathon country Germany)

Performances and book presentations.

Mainly for my local readers here's what I will be up to this weekend.
Today Friday and tomorrow Saturday and also next Friday and Saturday (and who knows how many more times) the Teachers' Association Drama Club Dithyramvos ex Amaxis (us included) are presenting once again "Griothesia", our play for adults with the funny scenario of two old women being adopted in today's Greece by two families to share their pension. Lots of laughter! At 9 in the evening at the little theatre of Paravates at Pylaia.You have to phone and book. Free entrance!


And tomorrow Saturday 18th at 12.30 at noon at Ianos bookstore our team (not us though) are presenting a book by a fellow teacher again. It is "Η μοναξιά των συνόρων" (The loneliness of the borders) by
Glykeria Grekou.
It's the story of an old woman, a teacher, who becomes friend with a young immigrant.
So if you are in the neighbourhood(city centre) join us to attend!
