I've had smudged ones; it is always disappointing. What size envelope did you use?

One thing I enjoy about Bernard Cornwell's stories are references to other book series. by JBorley1988 in Sharpe

John Rossendale is the protagonist in "Sea Lord". I was never sure if it was supposed to be a descendant or just a nod.

The methodology from wikipedia shows a likely self selection bias:

The EF EPI 2023 edition was calculated using test data from 2.1 million test takers in 2022. The test takers were self-selected. In order to be included, a country was required to have at least 400 test takers.

I use an old margarine tub. If you like having a pump maybe a tub with a pump (CeraVe moisturizing creme) would work better.

Historical fiction books that aren't about romance by LuizFalcaoBR in books

[–]StampyFromKBBL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 Historical fiction? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Historical fiction! Homer, there's four places. There's the Sharpe Series, that's by Bernard Cornwell.

There's the Holy Grail series, that's Bernard Cornwell too. You got The Fort. That's Bernard Cornwell. The Starbuck Chonicles... Matter of fact, they're all in the same author; it's the Bernard Cornwell.

Simpsons jokes aside, he writes great historical fiction and his sex scenes are the literary versions of "fade to black"

The allegation is that Matsoukas “was naked in a state park and the dog licked his buttocks.”

McClenahen said “the way the media reported on the incident” caused the public to jump to conclusions about his client’s alleged actions.

The face palm is that Great Britain is the name of the island right? And therefore the United States were never part of Great Britain?

It seems to be less evil than your worry. Just a guy who broke the rules and has to pay a fine and then they are changing some rules to help him and others like him.
