This month I watched a short telenovela called Минус один. Next up? Reading a sample of The Anna Karenina Fix: Life Lessons from Russian Literature. We’re also getting ready to mail a box of souvenirs to some friends in Oregon… even though neither my family nor my husband’s family have received their Christmas presents yet. I’m thinking perhaps some sneaky post office worker has been enjoying a big stash of Natura Siberica and Russian candy.
To the roundup!
