Tea Time is a tender, quietly humorous romance about timing, habits, and the unexpected ways love enters our lives. David has a simple rule: every morning must begin with tea. No exceptions. Even if it makes him late - again and again. But when a chance encounter at a bus stop introduces him to Irina, a thoughtful and guarded woman who lives her life by strict plans and perfect timing, his routine begins to shift. What starts as shared mornings and small conversations slowly becomes something deeper. Through missed buses, warm cups of tea, and unspoken expectations, David and Irina find themselves balancing between spontaneity and control, between habit and change. As their connection grows, they must confront a simple but difficult question: is love about perfect timing - or about choosing the moment, even if it means being late? Gentle, emotional, and filled with subtle humor, Tea Time is a story about slowing down, paying attention, and discovering that sometimes the most important things happen when you least expect them.Zum Buch

The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian. N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks. It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.Zum Buch
