I know someone who used Jane Austen translations to help learn French. Knowing the English nearly by heart gave them a head start in puzzling out the French.

Even a small cardboard box makes a HUGE noise dropped like that. A giant box? That's earth-shattering kaboom category!

A re-listen through the Murderbot series to date kept me company and my spirits up through being sick this winter. How a misanthropic, media obsessed cyborg makes me feel so seen and understood, I've decided not to question too closely. But it is a comfort and a delight! (adds new titles to TBR)

Oh! I feel for you! I've dreamt that I wrote <whatever> down... only to discover upon waking that it was just a dream. 😔

Congratulations! It is downloading to my ereader as I type. Looking forward to reading it.

Wow! ⭐

Safe travels and have a lovely time! Especially the quiet bits at the end to just take it alllll in.
