Ordinarily, under a sane administration, I'd say this is such a blatant Fourth Amendment infringement that any claim to the contrary would be blasted out of court without further consideration.

Prepping the pronunciation of the seven fictional French short story titles on the first page took longer than prepping the rest of the story! 🙄 All written by "M. de l'Aubepine"...whose name in French translates to "Hawthorne." (The short story titles are his, too.) No idea why he did this.

Meh. Let him follow. Maybe something else about you he likes. Besides, you don't have to follow back.

Yes. Decided. If I'm not being hired on for narration jobs (yet), I can at least go through the motions of preparing, narrating, and recording this story as if it were a real job. Besides, I'm feeling a bit rusty, and this story flowed for me.
Will do this once I'm back in the home studio next week.

Wow! So many recommendations! Thank you so much! I'm already enjoying exploring them...and this is on top of the 4 basic herbal teas I have, the sample pack that's arriving from Yunnan Sourcing next week, and much more. It's a fun pursuit.

I don't mind a good roast. I really enjoy roasted barley tea. A wonderful way to end a long day.

The company is Yamamotoyama. Maybe I'm associating fishy with umami like with seaweed. It's not necessarily a deal-killer, but I'm definitely open to exploring other hojicha that may be better.

Um...? I want to try some good hojicha sooner than that. I don't want to have to wait a few years. It's not the roasted character that I object to...it tastes and smells a bit fishy, which seems sadly common with certain teas (pu'erh comes to mind).

I had to read a plot analysis afterward to really ensure I understood what had happened...and nope, a lot had escaped me. (I'd be a terrible spy. Nuance in conversation so often escapes me.) Anyhow...onward to more books! (4/4)
