Tea preference is definitely nurture in my case. If it isn't sweet enough to hurt my teeth, I don't think it's right. I also really love proper masala chai, full of ginger, spices and tons of sugar.

Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe's prose work before his premature death in 1849. 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' are key works in the horror canon, while in the 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' we find the origins of modern detective fiction. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. What a great day right?

Two of his 14 titles have won Caldecott Awards, the highest prize for illustrated children’s books. Van Allsburg now uses such jargon so convincingly that it’s hard to imagine that in the 3 1/2-year course of “repurposing” his book “Jumanji” into TriStar’s big 1995 holiday release, opening Friday, the artist and author never spent a single day on the West Coast. Among the phrases Chris Van Allsburg picked up in his total-immersion introduction to Hollywood was the expression “laying pipe.” For most people the term might suggest sewer construction, but Van Allsburg soon learned that laying pipe is actually a crucial element of story development-meaning that the weirdness a character displays in Act 1 will explain the plot twists in Act 3. Mainly, he needs to bring what he had already written as part of initial planning for the series up to the standard set by the other two books. Since the start of the pandemic, he has held many fundraisers for his charity Worldbuilders, and along the way has answered some fan questions about what possibly could be coming in the future. Patrick Rothfuss does have some news on the matter, though. There’s another rumor fueled by an old German Amazon link that the book could arrive in July 2021, but don’t hold your breath. The previous glimmer of hope hinted at a possible August 2020 release date, which obviously wasn’t true. Release dates for The Doors of Stone have ranged from 2014 to 2018 and everywhere in between.

In our estimation, Daniel Clowes put it best in his introduction to Fantagraphics' recently published first volume of Bushmiller's long run.

This startles Maddox and takes her back to days working Undercover, where Maddox used the same name. Cassie arrives to discover a murder victim who bears a striking resemblance to her, with identification listing the victim as Lexie Madison. After receiving a frantic call from Squad Detective (and current boyfriend) Sam O’Neill, she agrees to meet him at the scene of his latest case perhaps her first mistake. After being severely emotionally scarred during Operation Vestal, in which a young girl was murdered, Cassie Maddox left the Squad for the more structured world of Domestic Violence.
