"We are like the little boy in The Sixth Sense who can see dead people, except that we can see dead punctuation" this book is amazing! Who else is reading this?

LiteraryinPA I‘ve read it before and I agree that it‘s awesome! 5y

The book that reminded us that a panda eats shoots and #leaves, and not armed villains that kill you after they‘ve had a nice meal 😉

I treated myself to a new teapot/reading companion and some posh tea. You probably can't see it but, just below the sticker, the box boasts of a "non drip pout". It proved to be beyond my powers of resistance (as did the great fat medjool date, whose sweetness was a perfect counterpart to the smokiness of the tea).

Sue @UwannaPublishme The author discusses her distress that all the society does is write polite letters - why is there not a militant faction going out and correcting stuff in the night! 😂 8y
