One of the prompts from this book is to make/order something a character eats in a book, so after sending my #lammassmallswap I treated myself to an (iced) coffee and muffin, as Ruth has one in A Tale for the Time Being. Got home and opened the prompt envelope, this stamp with glasses was my prize.

I don't know if he dies in the book as it hasn't been released yet, but when Baelish died in the show, that hit hard 😂! Out of existing deaths, Snape!
