“NO, but only because I am boycotting Hershey, Mars, and Nestle until 2020 which is when they’ve pledged to go to all fair-trade chocolate suppliers.”

Aw.

I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE LIKING IT SO MUCH. This, of course, clearly means that I am liking it okay and not a ton, because if we ever both love a book that is not Harry Potter, IT SHALL BRING ON RAGNAROK. But also I love that quote you quoted so damn much and didn’t even NOTE IT properly at the time, and *also* you wins gifs for this week with the Buffy gif and *also* you’re right, so much spanking. I don’t get it, Victorian England. I DON’T GET IT.

What, what? I look away for five minutes and you’re all having a Master and Margarita readalong? I love that book and I should reread it. I first read it in a very creepy place and the first chapter freaked me out so much I had to rush out into the street and find a cafe and drink a lot of ouzo as you do.

Styopa is Stepa in my book and Vassily Stepanovich is your Stepan.

And “became wicked” is “felt naughty.” I have to say I like your version better. Margarita has really taken to being a witch. I’m actually glad for her!

Jenny, this whole post is amazing. And now I can be excited about my chocolate choices vastly increasing in 2020, I’m so happy.

Do you think some of the satire is everyone having basically the same name, or is Bulgakova just terrible at coming up with names?

Also A+ for all of your cream commentary.

I’m happy stuff is finally getting awesome and pissed that it took us THIS LONG to get to Margarita.

I totally want to see that cross-stitched pillow because that is the awesomest quote! On the other side of the pillow you need to put What a cream!

I’m so glad you’ve started to love this book! And giggling at the gifs. Especially the pants with nobody inside them, because that’s exactly the picture Walker and I had too, when we read about the empty suit.
