Additional notes: I’m running low on this save-from-a-fire tea. Next time will be a sipdown! I was worried it had no flavor left based on the fragrance alone, but upon steeping, the flavor bloomed right into the mug. VERY HAPPY about that. I really wish I could find if this tea was sourced anywhere else. It is probably my favorite tea ever and DEFINITELY by favorite Earl. My pouch is from Steepster Select so maybe they know where the source is from?
Anyone have recommendations of their favorite funny novels? I’ve been reading too many darker books lately…. (hence why I needed to dive into some bright bergamot today).

Hmm. I hoped I can remember more from Czech authors. But I can recommend Saturnin by Zdeněk Jirotka, Good Soldier Švejk by Jaroslav Hašek or something from Karel Čapek.
Of course I could not forget “The Joke” by Milan Kundera. But that’s not actually much of funny.
Thanks so much for the suggestions, Martin! I had to look up some of these – I found out that Saturnin is compared to Jerome K Jerome and one of my funniest books ever (for me) is definitely Jerome’s ‘Three Men in a Boat’.
Come to think of it, I can’t think of any funny novels I’ve read recently. Most of time when I need a break from the heavier fiction, I pick up a YA or graphic novel.
Oh gosh, usually the YA I have read as an adult is absolutely more sad than not YA, so funny for me does not mean YA books. haha
Then check out Saturnin. I haven’t read something from Jerome K Jerome, but I am going to when I finally find some time. I think you will enjoy it!
If you like dry-but-funny, fantastical british books like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you should check out Terry Pratchett. One of favorite places to start with Pratchett’s world is Guards, Guards!
Thank you! I’m a HUGE fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide… but haven’t read any Pratchett yet, though I have a few around here… I forgot I’ve also been meaning to read Good Omens!
