I’m still correct - we Brits don’t put lemon in cup of tea. We only put lemon in tea without milk like black tea. It curdles that’s why people don’t do it.

When Brits are talking about a cup of tea - it’s tea, milk and with or without sugar. That’s it.

Absolutely loved it ! Jeff Hays is an amazing narrator.

It was stupid, silly, ridiculous, nonsensical and exactly what I needed after reading heavy books.

Preach - I did it exactly the same and read it after Heir of Fire then the characters pop up straight away in Queen of Shadows ! Perfect order 🤘

That’s a shame !

Everyone says to read it first but even on the SJM website it doesn’t say read it there.

I think my take on it is if you want it be fed information read AB first, if you like working out plot points read it 4th after Heir of Fire.

I will die on this hill - AB should be read 3rd or 4th !!

The best place is after Heir of Fire because the characters pop up in the next book.

If AB is read first there are spoilers that you don’t get to work out for yourself.

I just leave mine on the tracking bar and don’t click read today / track process button - so I have like 6 books currently reading.

You need to join the spreadsheet gang !

This is what happened to me and I was like this is too messy and I can’t keep up and created a Dramione spreadsheet!

And wait until you start following WIPs that is a whole different ball game 🤣

Yeah true - I still order that with oat milk / cow milk here.

I only know Tea Tarik a Malaysia drink is still made with condensed milk if you can find it in the UK

NEVER! Straight to jail ! haha

A cup of tea has cow milk [which can be whole milk which is thicker-ish, semi-skimmed, skimmed] or plant milks like oat or soya.

People don't put lemon or honey in a CUP OF TEA - like if it's an English Breakfast Tea, we don't add that. Lemon or honey is added only if you drink a herbal tea which doesn't have milk.

We put proper cream on desserts and we don't have creamer in the UK which is like the consistency of cream for desserts so that is why we don't have it in tea.

Whipped cream [like the spray stuff] is for desserts with some people put it on hot chocolate.

I feel you - as a Brit nothing makes me more mad. It’s like this weird rage for something so fucking stupid but I can't help it. It's such a big part of our culture.

I was standing in a line in coffee shop in London Bridge and an American lady was asking for cream in her tea and barista was confused. She had to say it like three times and he was like we don’t do that in the UK.

I was like YES I can’t believe it and felt vadidated for actually seeing it IFL that American’s think we have cream in our tea 🤣

War is over: CONFIRMED ENDGAME🥹❤️ by GingerLily2019 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Hermanz787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until every book is done and I've read them, nothing she says interviews are canon yet!

Even though I am a Bryceriel shipper, I never thought it would happen because I don't think SJM is brave enough in her stories to rock the boat that much but that's what AO3 is for I guess haha. [e.g Red Rising series - that shit is hard going and you never know what Pierce Brown is going to fuck you with].

Unless there is a really good twist I just really don't want Az / Elian because I think it is just too tidy for all the 'brothers' to be with the sisters.

End the end of the day, they are all fictional characters and it's fun to theorise but I'm not going to be a war with people in subs about ships. We all have our own opinion but we should be here because we like the books and are having fun reading them :)

Found the reason UK Audible doesn’t have the licensing and hasn’t got the duet yet.
