One of my houseguests is English, so I have the stuff from a proper cuppa!
But I already have my French press in front of me. And I'm not giving it up now!
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?
Buffy ,'Lessons'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Erin, it sounds like you're going to recreate the 100 Years War in your kitchen: English cuppa v. French press.

My counters are the Channel, and I have opened up diplomatic relations between the countries.

I'm just wondering how Agincourt is going to go down. In a hail of toothpicks, I expect.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, I like conflicted-spy Tally more than regular Tally. This story is interesting, and I am not entirely sure where it's going to go and what the general arc of the series is. I feel like Mark! Am I unprepared for shit getting real?

Shit gets real. Not Mockingjay real, but that's okay, because not every book needs to be a joyless death march of bleakness with PTSD sprinkles on top.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mmm. PTSD sprinkles.
