July Dymocks Completed

I finished the July prompts in mid-July, but have been waiting for reviews to go live. I had to get a bit creative with the translated novel, because I wasn’t really interested in the ones I looked up. They often weren’t in a genre I found interesting. So I used a really cool bilingual picture book to fulfil this category. It’s an approach I have taken throughout the challenge, working with what I have and making it work rather than finding something and the process of reading it being a chore if it’s not for me.
