The book: I’m about halfway through Vesper by Jeff Sampson, and I mostly like it. I’m not sure why, but I always seem to treat books starring women written by a male authors more harshly than I do books with male protagonists written by female authors. Maybe I’m more worried about the former screwing something up? Don’t know.
Anyway, Vesper‘s a YA paranormal book but there doesn’t seem to be much romance going on so far, which is promising. There IS something being hinted at that might be soulmate related, but I’m not entirely sure yet.
The tea: Oh Earl Grey, how I miss you. Random “relax” tea? You’re no good at all!
Do they go together? Blah, not really. There’s a lot of action and thrills and stuff in Vesper; relaxing tea doesn’t fit in really well with that.

 The Sunday Salon (Jan. 22): The “this week sucks” editionSo this past week has been pretty shitty. Why? Because of reasons. Something went wonky at the PO and two of my packages got sent back– including one that I’m pretty sure won’t be refunded, so I’m out $30. I lost my iPod Touch somewhere in a mall somewhere, and no-one’s going to return it [...] |
 Commonplace Post (18)Happy Saturday! It’s raining over here but in a gentle, almost nice sort of way. I’m still making my way through Jane Eyre, although I may have to start skimming because I’m at the part where Rochester is all gooey over Jane and it’s kind of boring compared to the rest of the book. Meanwhile, [...] |
