Oh you sweet summer child.

Jesus!! Is everyone a pedophile in this book!!

This truly is the most English thing I have ever read

oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😭

Oh my god, how are these people even real

Afterwards Lord Arran was asked why his homosexual law reforms had succeeded, while his efforts to protect the rights of badgers had not. Arran paused, and then said ruminatively, 'There are not many badgers in the House of Lords'.

rindo, mas com respeito. Isso é que é drama

can't say I'm enjoying this, but at least I think it has pulled me out of my reading slump
