My cup of tea

Posted by Staff on Thursday, June 9, 2022

The idiom "my cup of tea" is used to refer to something one likes to do.  For example, I love to read historical fiction and recently finished a book by one of my favorite authors. Sandra Dallas as an author is my cup of tea! I became familiar with her works when she wrote The Persian Pickle Club about a quilting club in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. I enjoy her books to the point where I order them from the library without looking at the subject. So, I put a loan request in  (thanks, Ada Public Library) for her latest novel The Little Souls without thinking about the topic. Ironically, I started reading the first chapter and realized it was historical fiction about the 1918 influenza outbreak in the United States. My first reaction was enough with the pandemics, but she really is my cup of tea and I enjoyed the story.  

It may not be obvious, but I don’t want to talk about pandemics. I would rather discuss tea. Yes, tea!
