“Very enjoyable. I met some really nice people through it, too. Lots of... personalities, you could say.” One could call Jules a personality, herself, but she pays that no mind. “Some books are hard to give a summary that does what they evoked justice, though, which is simultaneously frustrating and extremely satisfying when you get it right.”

Jules grins a bit, shaking her head at Em's embarrassment. “To be fair, 'yes' or 'no' is often good enough if you're being asked whether you recommend a book, an you're sparing the interviewer any chance of giving the story away, which is also good. There are definitely perks to not talking as much as the people who do it for a living.”

Her eyebrow arches just a little at the shift back and the comment, but the expression is made less apparent by her laughter. Jules is the kind of person that laughs with her whole body, once she gets going – nose crinkling, shoulders shaking and her whole body doubling over. A lot of the time, though, what people get is Jules laughter: lite, a tamer, controlled laugh that just bubbles up out of nowhere to break awkward situations down and stave them away, a nervous habit. She's not laughing amazing hard now, but she does grin, and the shoulders do shake a tiny bit. “That is extremely classic of you. Like something from a Jane Austen novel.”
