Hello! Figuring everything out.

Level Up started reading Buenos presagios by Neil Gaiman
Level Up commented on Pídeme lo que quieras by Megan Maxwell
I don't think I have much to add so far other than the fact that it feels so much easier to read since I stepped away and focused on other things.
Reflexive tense forms make more sense to me now, reflexive forms are used a lot in this book. I hope you're enjoying the dry language learner's perspective on a romance novel so far.
I've noticed that the chapters without NSFW bits are much shorter than the chapters with NSFW bits. As mundane as it sounds, I've enjoyed the "vanilla" chapters too because as I've probably said before, it uses every day language.
I still think the boss guy is a bit weird though.
Level Up wants to read El bestiario de Axlin by Laura Gallego García (Guardianes de la Ciudadela, #1)
Recommended to me by @maco@wandering.shop and Ethan / Toppsdown (CEO of Refold).
I have the book, I'm going to get a copy of the audiobook. I feel like I'm finally ready and I'm excited!

So I'm starting to pick up on some sentence patterns the author likes to use a lot. This is making it a little bit easier to read.
So far, some of the story is sort of riddiculous and I'm not a fan of Mr.Zimmerman. He's so over the top going from zero to 100 in no time but let's go with it. I don't have much to say about the main character other than the fact that I can relate to prefering coca-cola over wine.
I don't know how there are so many of these books but it is helping me comprehend spanish in a variety of situations, formal, informal and of course NSFW settings without being boring...for now. In this respect I suppose it's quite flexble as a resource..
Level Up started reading La casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Level Up started reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman
So this was the book I decided upon.
I enjoyed his work with Terry Pratchett and I enjoyed the series on Amazon Prime so I bet the book will be even better.
I'm going to read the english and #spanish version at the same time... just so I don't get completely lost when trying to tackle it in Spanish. 😅
I'm going to be logging my progress here as I go along.

Wow... so, if you're learning a language and things aimed at your level are boring find something else. I learned a lot just in the first chapter.
I haven't gone over reflexive verbs much yet but there are plenty here.
