So does anyone actually need me to recap the plot ofEmma, a nearly two hundred year old classic which has been adapted any number of times, currently as a successful YouTube webseries in Emma Approved? To be fair, I’m not sure even half of my actual real life friends have read this book, so I’ll be nice to you. Emma Woodhouse is twenty-one, the youngest daughter of a prosperous country gentleman and her governess, Miss Taylor, who more or less raised her from she was very little, has […]

Lady, you’re Cheryl Tunt on Archer and Kitty on Arrested Development
Having seen a number of other Cannonballers already reviewing this one, I got curious, and it made for a nice break in between all the fiction I normally read.
