I remembering stumbling into this book at a shop a while back, reading the synopsis on the back and then the first page thinking "This should be fun." I was not prepared for how enthralling and deep the story went. Perfect travel book, loved reading it on flights. Would be amazing to see it adapted as an HBO show, especially the hunt in the forest towards the end. I was laughing so hard!
I didn't find out until after I had gone to see it. I thought it was just ballet, but they had some WEIRD segments like the opera about atheism or the organ harvesting dance number.
I thought wasabi was its own unique root veggie type, didn't realize it was a radish relative. Horseradish obviously, but if we're talking the round red radishes you get in the produce section, those aren't spicy. Mildly peppery at best, but I would never refer to them as spicy per se.
I'm pretty okay with that, actually, as long as the writing and character interactions/development are still there. The ending of Inquisition had me hollering and instantly clamoring for a sequel so fingers crossed.
Out of curiosity, why didn't you want her to buy that specific vehicle?
