Today 殞月之城 arrived. That's the Chinese version of Life As We Knew It. Here's some badly translated by Google information about it (along with a nice picture of the cover).*
In case you were wondering, 殞月之城 is all in Chinese. But there are five footnotes for terms its readers might not be familiar with: West Nile, Ina Bauer, The Sound Of Music, Wishbone, and Date. To prove my incredible creativity in English, here's a sentence using all five:
After we broke the wishbone on our dinner date, Ina Bauer and I went to the West Nile Theater and saw The Sound Of Music.
Okay. I'll stick to photography and Scooter wrangling!
*If you press the third button on the top, it takes you to their The Dead And The Gone page.

This is actually very impressive!
Hi Marci-
The most impressive thing was getting Scooter into the picture. I kept trying and he kept refusing and then he popped up there all on his own, so I quickly took yet another picture!
Scooter doesn't charge in the book ?
I'm Happy to see the French Books <3
Merci Pascaline-
Scooter is usually well behaved and cooperative when I pose him. Or at least that's what I tell myself!
cooool, and I like that "After we broke the wishbone on our dinner date, Ina Bauer and I went to the West Nile Theater and saw The Sound Of Music."
on behalf of where this book is translated, Taiwan that is, I'll translate this lovely sentence into Chinese: "在小晚餐敘上拉開許願骨後，伊納包爾和我便前往西尼羅劇院觀賞《真善美》的演出。"
although... Ina Bauer and West Nile in the book means something quite different~ :)
oh and actually there are more footnotes for Taiwanese readers... such as the Ivy League, which i thought the translator REALLY underrated our intelligence~
Hi Timo and thank you for your translations!
