Once I took those two heavy volumes from the bookcase, I was overwhelmed with happy/fond memories.(?)

... happy memories came flooding back.

Tatiana, your translation is grammatical, but ONCE I TOOK makes it sound like taking the books down was a two-hour process.

So what made them happy - taking down the books, or looking through them?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoдобавила комментарий 4 years ago

Looking through them, of course. You're right.

Actually, I misinterpreted this then. I thought just the act of bringing them down gave her happy memories.
