The scene with Wilbur in Quackity’s latest lore stream made me Think some Thoughts, and I wanted to get all of my SBI family headcanons together in one place, so here’s this post

First thing, this is their age order:

Philza -> Techno/Wilbur -> Tubbo -> Ranboo -> Tommy

- Techno and Wilbur were born on the same day, so most of the family refers to them as “the twins” but they are not blood related

- Philza did not know how old Techno was when they were ruling the Antarctic Empire, he thought that Techno was around 21 when he was actually around 14-16

- this is a fact that haunts Phil to this day, because he committed a massive amount of war crimes with an actual child, and also for reasons that will soon become very clear

Philza and Techno

- they’re married

- they got married with them each thinking that the other was close to their own age (Phil thought Techno was in his early 20’s, Techno thought Phil was in his late teens)

- for more on their marriage, check out this post

- despite Techno and Wilbur being the same age, Techno is mentally much older due to his past and his general status as the Blood God

- Phil did most of the work raising the older kids, but Techno did his fair share, and you can definitely see his influence when you look at the kid’s behaviors

- both of them are immortal

- Techno is a new immortal, the Blood God has only just come into existence, but he isn't leaving anytime soon

- Philza is an old immortal, he was there when the world was born, and he'll be there when it dies

Wilbur

- Wilbur and Philza are the only blood relatives in the whole family

- as much as he loves him, Wilbur has always been a bit bitter towards Techno, because when they were teenagers, Techno was off ruling and adventuring and having fun with Phil during the AE, and Wil was left home with a young Tommy to look after

- Wilbur’s hair is naturally blond, just like Phil and Tommy’s

- no one knows who Wilbur’s mom is (unfortunately mpreg is the norm on this server, so Phil carried him, and he’s got some ideas on who Wil’s mom is, but he honestly doesn’t care enough to look into it)

- Wilbur has wings

- they’re much smaller than Phil’s, he can barely fly with them, but they’re the same color and shape as Phil’s

- because of how fragile his wings are, Wilbur should not technically be able to fly, but he literally sheer force of will-ed it and threw himself off the roof of their house so many times that he can glide when he jumps from high places, and if it’s a really high place, he can get in a few good flaps of his wings to get him some extra distance

- Phil doesn’t learn that Wilbur can semi-fly/glide until one day they’re off adventuring together and Wil is being dramatic and theatrical and walking backwards while he talks, and he falls off a cliff

Tommy

- Tommy has been with them since he was a few days old

- because of his light features, most people assume that he is Phil’s son by blood, and he just didn’t inherit the wings

- (at ages 10 and 16, Tommy and Wilbur did the blood-brothers handshake where they cut their palms and then shook hands, so if you ask them, they’re blood brothers through and through)

- Techno taught Tommy how to sew

- Tommy is a young god, but he hasn’t grown into most of his powers yet

- Tommy is a god of death, the future Death himself, Kristen is his mother

- (this is how Phil comes into possession of him. Phil, being the Angel of Death, was really the only reasonable choice when it came to Death herself finding someone to raise her son)

- Tommy has light features, even though Mumza has dark features, because she purposefully made him out of the light, she wanted him to be good and kind, so she created him from the literal light that you see when you're dying

- because he was born from the actual moment of death, despite Tommy's eyes being blue, they hold the void itself in them

- if you look too closely into Tommy's eyes, it can be easy to lose yourself and fall right in

- sometimes Mumza comes to visit, these are very bittersweet moments for Tommy

- he loves his mom, and he loves seeing her and seeing Phil happy to see her, and she usually takes him along on her next trip, ever so slowly teaching him how to be Death, but he also hates that that is his future

- he doesn't want to be the next Death, he doesn't want to outlive all of his friends and his brother, he just wants to be normal

- because of this, Tommy represses pretty much all of his godly powers, trying to seem as normal as possible, the one he represses the most is his automatic healing, when he gets hurt, he wants to stay hurt

- he represses everything so well that its years before Tubbo finds out that his best friend is a god

Ranboo

- Techno raised Ranboo more than Phil did

- (because of this, he’s the only kid who actually views Techno as his father. Despite him literally being their stepdad, the others see Techno as more of a brother or an uncle)

- Techno found Ranboo when he was around 12 years old on the edge of a warped forest in the nether (if you want some more nether-boys hc’s, check out this post)

- at that age, Ranboo hadn’t hit his growth spurt yet due to malnutrition, so he was much smaller than the average human 12 year old, and everyone thought he was around 8-10 (because of his memory issues, Ranboo thought the same thing until Tommy kept pestering him about when his birthday was and he remembered the year)

- Ranboo is brought into the family when he’s 12, Tommy is 11, and Wilbur and Techno are 17

- as I said before, Techno may have been 17 when he took in Ranboo, but he was definitely a father to this anxious amnesiac preteen

- because of his height, Ranboo is constantly slouching to fit through doorways, inside houses, and to make himself appear smaller, so he grows to need a cane

Tubbo (and Dream)

- street cat

- they fed him once and he just kept coming back

- sometimes he’ll disappear for a few weeks, but he always turns up eventually

- boy’s got some family issues, some real bad family issues

- his dad is Schlatt, who left him and big brother Dream to fend for themselves when he and Dream were 6 and 11

- luckily Dream has an excellent sense of direction and memory, and got them to Aunt Puffy’s current port before she pushed off on her next adventure (but not before getting briefly separated and making some friends)

- (the few weeks they spend separated are when Tubbo first gets found by Wilbur and Tommy and forcibly adopted by Phil, and Bad lures Dream home with food and he meets Sapnap)

- both boys have ram features - floppy ears, horns, etc., Dream also inherited their Aunt Puffy's rainbow hair (he dyes it blonde semi-regularly. It's dyed when he meets sbi, and Wilbur and Techno have the exact same reaction to it when they finally see his natural hair: relentless teasing. Like father like son amiright?)

- Tubbo and Dream are half brothers (same dad, different moms), Tubbo is 1/2 ram and 1/2 human, Dream is 1/2 human, 1/4 ram, and 1/4 what he and Sapnap think is demon (basically Dream had a human-ram hybrid dad, and a human-demon(?) hybrid mom)

- when Tubbo introduces Dream to his new brother-in-law, Dream feels a bit of a kindred spirit, but he quickly brushes it off

- Dream spends most of his time either with Bad, Skeppy, and Sapnap, or on the sea with Puffy, so Tubbo mostly fends for himself

- Tubbo is more than happy to fend for himself, he actually prefers it most of the time. He doesn't like people fussing over him and sheltering him, so whenever his mood switches and he decides that he does, actually, want some family time, he just appears on sbi’s front porch

- Tubbo first meets Ranboo when he comes to visit after a few months away. No one told him that Tommy was with Mumza for the weekend, so when he arrived at 3am, 2 days before he told Phil he’d be there, he just let himself in and threw himself on top of the sleeping figure in Tommy’s bed, only to be met with a startled enderman screech that woke the whole house

- (Ranboo was in Tommy’s bed because he might not be a part of the official Clingy Duo, but the boy is as clingy as they come. He regularly sleeps in his family’s beds, both when they’re home and when they’re away, because his sense of smell is heightened as an enderman and he needs to be surrounded in their scent when he misses them or when he’s feeling sad (especially because these are the only scents he knows, he doesn’t remember any of the scents from before Techno found him))

Big brothers being friends

- one day, after Tubbo’s near-constant raving about how great the Minecraft family is, Dream agrees to visit with him

- this visit happens to fall during the AE, so the only ones home are Wilbur and Tommy

- Dream and Wilbur take one look at each other and their similar situations in raising their chaotic, problem-child little brothers, and never let go

- the four of them live together for a good 5-6 months before Dream gets a letter and he and Tubbo need to leave

- after this visit, Dream and Wilbur stay in contact, and they visit each other even without their brothers around to drag them along

- I know I said that Wilbur makes fun of Dream for dying his hair, but that’s only in public

- in private, Wilbur confesses to Dream that he also dyes his hair, that his hair is naturally blond and he dyes it darker. After this, Dream and Wilbur start dying their hair together, it becomes something scheduled that they both look forward to immensely each month

- the next time Dream and Tubbo visit together, Wilbur is off with a water spirit who stole his heart (I refuse to write about fish Sally, fight me), and Phil is showing Ranboo some cool builds in his current hardcore world, so it's Techno and Tommy who welcome them in

- Techno starts out pretty hesitant of Dream, but Dream almost instantly is like

- "I'm gonna annoy the blood god into being my best friend"

- and whatever Dream sets his mind to, he achieves

- so the visit sort of ends with Dream and Techno making Tommy and Tubbo promise not to burn the house down, and leaving them home alone to go off to cause some chaos together

Father/son relationships

- As I said earlier, Phil primarily raised Wilbur and Tommy, and Techno primarily raised Ranboo, with Tubbo coming in and out like a feral cat

- to Wilbur and Tommy, Techno is more of a cool uncle who brings them valuable trinkets from his adventures, and they want to be like him one day

- Ranboo and Phil’s relationship is almost exactly the same as Wilbur and Tommy’s relationship with Techno

- when Techno brought Ranboo home, Phil pretty much decided that he had his hands full enough with raising his two chaotic boys, and he declared that it was finders-keepers, Techno found Ranboo, so he gets to raise him

- after L’Manburg, Ghostbur and Phil learn sign language, because the explosion blew out Phil’s hearing in his left ear, and Ghostbur’s so soft-spoken that it’s sometimes really difficult for him to hear his son speaking

For more random hc’s I have about these characters and the characters of the smp in general, check out this post

All My Exes (One Shot)

Lieutenant Colonel Franklin Clay took a long look around the bar and wondered precisely when his life took him down the path that brought him to this particular point?  It wasn’t the WORST place he’d ever been - that would probably still be Bolivia - being dead, especially when you were still breathing would always rank all the way at the very bottom of rock bottom, but it sure as hell wasn’t the top either.  

The bartender, a woman who Roque would have absolutely warned him about being just a shade too young for ANYONE in their team, but it was best not to think of Roque, not here and now - not after, he waved his hand and she came over with a smile worn best by those in the service industry.  A smile that said “what can I get you” while also keeping the familiarity at arm’s length.  

“Can I get another?”  Clay asked, his own grin growing as his eyes took a tour of the scenery that she presented.  Long red hair, piled high in a loose knot of curls, green eyes that were highlighted with just the right amount of makeup to make them pop and snap, lips that he’d bet were naturally pinkish red and had a pout that would make a peach jealous.  She wasn’t tall, her chest level with the bar top, and the outfit she wore was one that would have fit into any of the many bars he’d frequented over the years.  Jeans, tank, pushup bra - he corrected that when she leaned over to refill his glass and realized that she was wearing a thinly padded sports bra that criss crossed under her tank, no push up needed for what was pressing up under that shirt.  “Quiet night,” he offered as she stood back, leaning against the counter parallel to his spot at the bar.  

“Observant of you,” those pink lips of hers were twitching into a smirk.  “Tuesdays tend to be slow.”  

“Must suck for you,” he took a drink from his glass and smiled as she shrugged, a lack of concern rolling off of her in waves. “Don’t you get bored?”  

“Me?”  She shook her head and the red of her curls caught the lights that kept the bottles in sharp relief.  Her smile came easily.  “Nah, I make my own fun.”  Head tilting she reached behind her and pulled out a book.  Holding it up, she hopped onto the counter she’d been leaning on.  “Lack of customers means I can catch up on my reading.”  

She wasn’t what he was expecting.  Dressed like she was, tending bar in a place like this - and instead of everything he thought he knew, she was going to open a book and get lost in the pages?  What the hell?  

“You read on slow nights?”  His eyebrow felt like it was going to leave his face soon.  “That’s your fun?”  

She snorted and looked at him over the top of her book.  “What did you think I meant?  Did you expect me to offer you a lapdance or a blow job?”  Rolling her eyes, she turned the page and let her eyes drift back to the pages.  “Sorry to disappoint you, Grandpa, but while you drink away your sorrows and regrets, I’ll read away my boredom.”  

“Grandpa?”  That was it, he was going to lose both of his fucking eyebrows.  She was going to make them leave his face.  “I’m not THAT old.”  

She giggled, looking up again and biting her lip at his reaction.  “Out of everything I JUST said, the ONE thing you picked up on and got pissed about was me making a crack about your AGE?”  She shook her head and marked her place in her book.  Hopping down from the counter, she grabbed the bottle of scotch that he was drinking from and a bottle of something else and came around the bar.  Taking the stool next to his she leaned over the bar and grabbed a glass for herself.  “That’s it, you’re too fucking sad for me to make my own fun.  Let’s have a drink and you can tell me ALL about it.”  

Clay stared at her as she poured herself a frosted glass of what he now saw was straight vodka, then topped his own off.  He was trying to wrap his head around the change of direction the entire situation just went, but she was staring at him as she took her first drink.  “What’s your name?”  

Her lips curled into a smile and he wondered how they’d taste.  “You can call me, Ettie.” 

Clay didn’t know how it happened.  How the evening went from him sitting at a bar drinking and thinking about how attractive the bartender was to sitting next to her, drinking together and sharing stories about shitty exes?  

“I had this one,” Ettie started, rolling her eyes and reaching for the bottle of scotch because his glass was growing thin.  “I swear I still don’t know how I missed the crazy.  I should have been able to SMELL it.  Slashed tires.  Broken phones.  I think I could blame the death of my cat -”  

Clay’s eyes went wide.  “Killed your cat?”  Ettie nodded.  “Damn, that IS crazy.”  He remembered a different time.  A graveyard in Bolivia and being reminded of his OWN checkered past.  “I had this one,” he shook his head and took a drink from his glass to fortify himself for the memory.

Amber.  God, she was gorgeous.  He met her by chance, at the grocery store of all fucking places.  He’d gone in to grab - it didn’t matter - there she was, wearing a white sundress made of that weird lacy fabric that’s heavier than lace? What’s that called?  

“Crochet?”  Ettie supplied, taking a sip of her vodka and smiling around the cool glass.  

Yeah, crochet.  Her skin was so dark, she loved the sunlight and the beach.  They were talking about how much she couldn’t wait to go out the next day - while they were in the check out lane and the next thing he knew he had her phone number.  

First date was great.  They had dinner and they came back to her place.  She told him that she was going through a divorce.  Her and her husband were separated, but it was over.  He stayed the night and woke up to this huge man standing over him with a knife and thought - SEPARATED?!

He left while they were screaming at one another.  She called him and SWORE her husband had broken into the apartment.  He didn’t know boundaries.  They were over.  So they went out again.  And he stayed over again.  The husband didn’t wake Clay up, but he started to pull away.  She was a little too clingy.  She was asking - second date, remember - when she could move into HIS place?  Where did I see THEM going?  And on and on.  

He was heading out of town, for work, and Clay heard this screaming and then a bang - she shot him. 

“She SHOT you?!”  Ettie’s eyes were wide.  “Like with a gun?”  

Clay nodded.  “Just in my leg.”  He shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal.  

Ettie stared at him for a long moment, taking a sip of her drink almost absently.  “Who ARE you?”  

Clay chuckled.  “I’m GRANDPA, remember?”  

Rolling her eyes, Ettie studied him.  “So Amber shot you, in the leg, and you just went about your business like -” she shrugged and he nodded, taking his own drink.  “Alright.”  

“You had an ex who killed your cat,” he reminded her.  

“Murdered my pussy,” she nodded, and he snorted.  “I’m thinking my exes were NORMAL crazy and you had fucked up crazy exes.”  

“I did have one who planted a bomb in my car.”  He laughed as her eyebrows tried to escape from her face.  Finally.  

Emma.  What was there to say about Emma?  He didn’t actually sleep with Emma, that was a very important note to make.  In fact, he wasn’t entirely sure why Emma ever fixated on him so heavily.  

They had met through work.  

“Work?”  Ettie asked, eyebrow still elevated and waiting for something to lower its expectations.  None came.  “Come on, give us a bone.” 

Work, that’s all there needs to be said.  Emma was a work colleague.  And she saw in Clay something special.  It was unfortunate that he missed the memo and the signs.  Right up until he sat down in the car that was a literal ticking time bomb.  

“How did you know?”  Ettie was staring at him like he MIGHT actually be more interesting than her book.  “I mean, about the bomb?”  

“She called,” Clay shrugged again.  “Not me, but one of my other work -”

“Colleagues.”  His drinking buddy supplied with a nod.  “And this coworker knew how to diffuse the situation?”  

Clay’s grin had his dimples coming out to play.  “I work with a lot of specialists.”  

“Huh,” Ettie was digesting this information and missed the fact that his glass was getting well below the bartender’s level of comfort.  He reached for the bottle and topped himself off.  “So you were shot and nearly blown up by your exes?”  

“Yup.”  He nodded, thinking about the hotel in Bolivia that he and Aisha had burned down and the one stateside that they made resemble a slice of Swiss cheese.  

“You’re worse at this shit than I am,” she shook her head and took another drink.  “That’s almost impressive, but mostly it’s sad.”  

He laughed, drawing her attention and making her smile come back.  “Thanks.”  

“Stating the obvious,” she shrugged.  “Shit, is that the time?”  Her eyes had landed on his watch.  “Closing time is closing in.”  Hopping off the stool, she moved back to the professional side of the bar.  “Lucky me, there’s not a hell of a lot of clean up to do.”  

“Yeah, two glasses and two bottles,” Clay nodded, pulling out his wallet, but she held out her hand.  “I can’t let you pay for my -”

“Sure you can,” she grinned.  “I own the bar, asshole.”  Shaking her head, her grin grew as the bell rang out that someone was coming in.  Her eyes lit up when they landed on the person coming closer.  “Look what the cat drug in.” 

“Stop saying that,” the tall brunette muttered, coming closer and leaning over the bar to kiss Ettie.  “It sounds like you think I look disgusting.”  She was staring at the smaller redhead with a soft smile on her lips, and Clay felt extremely jealous.  “Oh, sorry.”  She stood up and held out her hand.  “Etta Ray is a complete ass when it comes to introducing people.  I’m Catrina, and you are?”

Bookshelf Briefs 10/2/17

Days, Vol. 5 | By Tsuyoshi Yasuda | Kodansha Comics (digital only) – Coming off the intense emotions of the fourth volume, in which Seiseki loses at the Inter-High Tournament, volume five at first feels like generic, episodic summer filler. The guys cram for finals so they can avoid remedial classes, then there’s a chapter at the beach, and one at a festival, and then it’s training camp time. But in each of these chapters, something important happens character-wise. In the beach chapter, we learn more about Kurusu and his relationship with his grandfather; at the festival we check in with Sayuri, who laments that soccer has stolen Tsukushi away from her; and at the training camp we get to know Haibara, an upperclassman whose rowdy behavior is just an act to cover his lack of self-confidence. And meanwhile, Tsukushi continues to make incremental improvement. Although not as exciting as its predecessor, this is still definitely a solid volume. – Michelle Smith

Dreamin’ Sun, Vol. 3 | By Ichigo Takano | Seven Seas Entertainment – There’s no better way to make me hate a shoujo heroine than to have her melodramatically run out of the house after an outburst (in the rain, naturally), crying over lightning and internally wailing, “Someone! Please come and get me!!” Zen’s critiques used to seem overly harsh, but I was cheering him on this time when he said, “You should be thanking me for coming after your sorry ass.” Things don’t improve much as Shimana takes forever to realize that she has feelings for Taiga the landlord, though I did like Zen’s tearful confession to her. It’s intriguing, too, that princely Asahi, originally the supposed love interest, has faded so far into the background. Some of the subplots are picking up, as well, so despite my irritation at Shimana I’ll probably be back next time. – Michelle Smith

Genshiken: Second Season, Vol. 11 | By Shimoku Kio | Kodansha Comics – Again, the best moments are when this series treats things a bit more seriously. The scenes between Madarame and Hato are excellent, as they both try to figure out what is going on here, how Hato identifies, what attracts Madarame, and can either of them even try to make this work for real? The answer is probably no, but the tension is real here, and I greatly enjoyed it. Sue’s stuff is done well too—it’s very clear that we’re stuck between Hato, Sue, or no one, and you suspect Kio will go for the easy third choice. And then there’s Hato and Yajima, which is mostly trying to get past Yajima’s self-hatred and Hato’s inability to see her a a woman. Better than it should be. – Sean Gaffney

Honey So Sweet, Vol. 8 | By Amu Meguro | Viz Media – I had actually forgotten that this was the final volume of Honey So Sweet, though the cover should have tipped me off. Much of the book is devoted to Nao’s uncle, who has been putting his life on hold until Nao grows up and is ready to take care of herself… which reminds Nao that she’s still not all that great at that sort of thing. I did appreciate that the old flame who arrived stayed mostly old, though there are hints that may eventually change. On a lighter note, I’ve liked Yashiro best in this cast, and seeing her struggle with direct communication is fun. This was a sweet and cute shoujo fluff series, and just about the right length. You’ll enjoy it. – Sean Gaffney

Plum Crazy! Tales of a Tiger-Striped Cat, Vol. 2 | By Natsumi Hoshino | Seven Seas Entertainment – If you liked the first volume of Plum Crazy!, you’ll probably like this one, which is more of the same. I do wonder if readers reacted negatively to the Nakarai family not doing anything to stop new kitten Snowball from repeatedly attacking incumbent resident Plum, because there’s more emphasis on her bad behavior this time around, including a chapter in which Taku’s friend attempts to distract Snowball with other toys, only to make her aggression toward Plum worse. I can only assume we’re supposed to find these kitten antics cute (and I’m sure I’m taking this too seriously), but as a cat owner, they actually kind of stress me out. I very much look forward to Snowball growing out of this phase. Maybe then I’ll be able to relax and just enjoy the kittehs. – Michelle Smith

Skip Beat!, Vol. 39 | By Yoshiki Nakamura | Viz Media – I avoided reading this book for a while. Kyoko’s mother was the one part of her life I was dreading the confrontation with, and I had worried it would be too sympathetic. I should have trusted Nakamura more, as I think she strikes an excellent balance between explaining Saena’s behavior without downplaying the horrible abuse Kyoko suffered growing up. Kyoko can’t hate Saena, but also doesn’t quite forgive her. Instead she throws herself into a possible new role, finally working alongside Moko. That said, I have a feeling the role will prove to be a lot more trouble than it’s worth. These volumes were good, but I’ll be happy to get back to acting. – Sean Gaffney

Species Domain, Vol. 3 | By Shunsuke Noro | Seven Seas – I knew at some point we were going to see Dowa without her beard, so I wasn’t too surprised here. That said, kudos to the author for having her grow it back pretty quickly, showing that the character’s own desires are more important than looking “cute” for the audience. A more important detail here is Ohki’s “science” abilities, and how much of it is explained by genuine scientific principles. In a world like this, where there is literal magic, it’s hard to tell what is really going on—though Ohki seems very upset at the idea. There’s still lighthearted stuff, of course, with the constant fun that is Kazamori, as well as big sisters and little sisters. If you want a non-skeezy monster girls title, Species Domain is a good choice. – Sean Gaffney

Waiting for Spring, Vol. 2 | By Anashin | Kodansha Comics – The childhood friend who was thought to be a boy being a girl is fairly common in manga and anime, but seeing the reverse is a lot less common. The author sensibly keeps the attention on Mitsuki’s reaction to the whole thing, with her realization that this makes a number of childhood conversations very embarrassing. On the bright side, she’s getting closer to Towa, though he seems to be taking things a lot more seriously than she is at this stage. This is very much a ‘warmup’ volume, continuing to develop the characters and introducing a rival without moving things forward too much. It’s not fantastic, but it’s enough to make you want to read more. – Sean Gaffney

The Water Dragon’s Bride, Vol. 3 | By Rei Toma | Viz Media – This continues to be a lot darker than I was really expecting—a couple of villagers are straight up murdered in front of us, not to mention the war that ensues. It’s well done, but there’s no denying that the main reason this holds up well is because of the relationship between Asahi and the two men in her life—especially now that one of them actually IS a man. Getting her voice back is also unsurprising, as now that she’s grown up it will help the storytelling, both in terms of potential romance and in terms of Asahi’s status as a priestess. And of course she still wants to go home, even after so many years. There’s a lot going on in this series, and I’m grateful it’s so well told. – Sean Gaffney

Welcome to the Ballroom, Vol. 7 | By Tomo Takeuchi | Kodansha Comics – Tatara Fujita and his partner Chinatsu are trying to meld together as a pair, but it isn’t going very well, particularly due to Tatara’s uncommanding lead and Chinatsu’s inability to follow. They decide to get help from Hyodo Social Dance Academy, and though Tatara does learn more of the basics there than he had at Sengoku’s studio, he’s still impatient to compete, leading to a humiliating forfeit at the Grand Prix. Summer rolls around and, in true sports manga fashion, it’s time for a training camp in the mountains. This volume’s theme seems to be “strife and striving.” Until recently, this series had been on hiatus in Japan and I was worried we might not get to see the outcome to all of this, but I’m happy to see a new volume has come out since I last looked. A bit on the melodramatic side sometimes, but totally addictive.– Michelle Smith
