Writers, be careful when choosing to write in an English that is not your own.

Author: AmE user
Setting: Victorian England
Problems: Inconsistent use of BrE conventions. This is as much an editorial issue as it is authorial.

Words that BrE spells with a U, like colo(u)r, are spelled as expected. BrE verb formations appear as they should.

But then someone takes a "draft" of an alcoholic beverage. For this usage and setting, the spelling should be "draught." And the infelicity occurs repeatedly.

Ugh.

New Read - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Deserted Island Diary

Another volume of Animal Crossing's on-going silly manga set in the New Horizons game. It's very silly, very fun, very full of in-jokes for folks who play the game.

Each chapter is a silly self-contained story. My favorite is the one where everyone decides to honor Tom Nook with gifts for all the good he's done for the island. They terraform to make an entire section of the island look like him. It's hilarious.

Lots of fun and silliness.

The cover has Tom Nook smiling with his eyes closed with a bag of bells next to him on an elevated area with a wooden ladder connected to it. Beneath him is an assortment of flowers with butterflies fluttering about. The sky is blue with various clouds.

Tom Nook is seen very tiny standing on an elevated surface saying "Oh My!!" And a character off-screen says "Behold! Tom Nook 3D Pattern Art!!" In front of the characters, the landscape has been reformed to look like a large 3D model of Tom Nook using assorted in-game items for him such as a dormant volcano for his nose, black roses for the black stripe on his tail.
