Just ordered my my Polywood set this week! OP, I recommend going to their website to find dealers with the product on display. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the curve back seats on their own without cushions.

Lol my husband and I also have a two person book club! My husband is aware we’re in a book club, but it’s a little quirky. We declare where we are in the book when we’re ready for “book club.” Then the other person says when they’ve caught up. Then we discuss whatever exciting, shocking, non-sensical event occurred. We have a lot of fun with it

I agree with reading the sonnets. So enjoyable to read compared to the plays.

And absolutely watch a film adaptation before reading a play.

I found it was easier for me to get into the cadence and language of Shakespeare if I was already familiar with the story. After that you easily jump into to other plays. So as far as millennial/90s kid movies go:

If you’re a fan of She’s the Man (movie) then I recommend Twelfth Night.

If you’re a fan of 10 Things I Hate about You (movie) I recommend The Taming of the Shrew.

If you’re a fan of (or even remember) Get Over It I recommend A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

There are dozens more, but these are my favorite Shakespeare adaptations.

I think this is smart. Find the spec sheet on your sink. It will be on the manufacturer’s website. That will provide the exact measurements on where your hole is located

The side brackets are certainly the primary support, but the sink would also have been attached to the countertop with an adhesive. I suspect you’ll be fine to drill, though if that sink has a warranty, drilling through it will void it.

Can you post an image of the underside of the sink? In my experience undermount sinks have brackets on the left and right side to mount the sink to the countertop, but I’ve seen some creative installations.

Does the sink only have 1 pre drilled hole? The image you posted has two. If it has 2 pre drilled holes and the 2nd hole is being used for a soap dispenser or a sprayer/handle, I would just get a new faucet that’s a single hole and use the freed up hole for the beverage faucet (assuming they aren’t within a couple inches of each other).

Make sure whatever beverage/drinking faucet you install has a generous flange to cover up an imperfections on the quartz when you drill!

Meandering is the perfect way of describing it. The pacing of the story telling and the very flowery prose, while beautiful, came at such a slow pace that I struggled to stay engaged.

I’m so glad you liked it! It’s awesome finding a book you really connect with.

For those who have also read Circe, did you like The Song of Achilles better or worse or similar? Circe dragged on for me. I finished it, but it reminded me a lot of the Odyssey, in that it seemed to be a story made up of several smaller stories that ultimately tied together, but not in the most satisfying way.
