If the main club did M&M next month and we waited, it would be sort of...confusing.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones?

Rebekah says there's a good reason for it to be in December. So I'll just go with the plan. *NM*

Actually, I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, other than to space things out.
