This is not a bit, this really happened.
They are publishing 25th anniversary movie tie in editions of the LOTR books and that pretty much encapsulates everything I hate about publishing.
I'm actually done with Wuthering Heights discourse and I'm ready for five months of Odyssey discourse. I might even finally read the Fagles?
These are the only two editions I refuse to bring in

I'm so angry at our country that I would not have been mad if Canada won but the nostalgia of getting gold on the anniversary of the Miracle game is too much for me to resist.
I wish I could say I'm primarily opposed to fighting in hockey because of CTE but if I'm honest that is a very close second to the fact that you get to watch better hockey when there's no fighting
The one commentator was saying that this is just better hockey than you see in NHL games and that's true but he didn't posit that maybe it's because the refs don't allow fights?
