I can't believe the first week of Paris in July is already over! Time flies when you are having fun...
I have finished my re-read of Chocolat (review post to come this week) and have started reading the sequel The Lollipop Shoes which I have to say is a very different book to the first.
I'm really looking forward to reading about and seeing what everyone else has been up to this week so please add all your Paris in July related post links in the comments section below this post so that we can all follow along. Please forgive me for no adding a Mr Linky but my computer skills have abandoned me and although I know it should be easy to work out my brain is just not functioning so well today!!
Remember, it is never too late to join in the fun so please go to the introduction post here if you would like to add your name to the Paris in July 2012 event.
Tamara will be wrapping up Week 2 so head over to her blog, Thyme for Tea at the end of this week to see what Paris/French related fun has gone on this week.
Happy Paris in July everyone!!

Because I am in the middle of three books, I'm not going to read a French book this month. I'll focus on the other possibilities you listed in the announcement of Paris in July.
I watched the French movie-The Red Balloon.

It can be quite dangerous to be involved in online gaming. There's a lot of danger and evil lurking in each and every corner. In this article, we will give you good advice on how to get the most out of the time you have for video gaming. We will also share some innovative ideas and tricks. Continue below.
If you have trouble taking breaks while gaming, start a 30-minute timer. If you continuously sit there and play all day long, it can make your body really tires and harm your body, which ends up causing you problems to your health in the future. A timer is a reminder to put the game on pause and take some time off.
If you like playing 2D games, you should always go back and check for hidden things to the left of the screen. Never overlook those high walls and ledges, because they can have entry points that maybe invisible. Make sure that you check everywhere so you don't overlook anything.
If you're looking for video games that are on sale, look at their Metacritic score prior to buying one. Many discounted games are cheap because they are not any fun to play. So, if you buy an unplayable game, you won't save money. Reviewing the scores, especially from a review aggregator like Metacritic, can save you from wasting your cash.
When the gaming industry moves ahead, so do the gamers. Gamers expect low prices, instant access, and a large selection. When a new game releases, try waiting a few months. The prices of online gaming periodically get slashed as games loose their newness factor.
In order to understand and guide your child's use of video games, you must be involved. Spend some time playing the game and watching your child play. Ask them questions to show that you are interested. The best experience to have is a hands-on one!
Keep an eye on kids playing games online. There are games that tell you that with online play it might change the rating. Also watch the chat to see what your child is saying or saying to others. You should ensure your kids are not seeing anything inappropriate when they are playing in this situation.
Start out with the easiest mode. If you discover a game is too easy, restart the game with a harder difficultly level. Once you have played on a beginner level for awhile, you will find it much easier to eventually play on a harder level.
If your child gets a game as a gift or if you are buying a gift, make sure to verify its ESRB rating. These ratings are designed to help you assess whether the game is appropriate for the players it is being bought for. This should be a definite consideration before making the purchase.
Reserve games that are high in demand to ensure that you will get a copy. You may get special bonuses when ordering early. The bonuses could be some special features, outfits, or anything that could help you when it comes to playing. The only way you can get them is by ordering early.
Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
Enjoy your gaming more after having read this article. Video Games help us escape our boring everyday lives, which we all need from time to time. Game on!
