A life in books and tea

Everything to do with books! Mostly book reviews, but occasionally, I have the non-review bookish post too.

Book Review: A Wild Ride Through The Night by Walter Moers

August 21, 2023
A Wild Ride Through The Night by Walter Moers

Here’s another book that I got for free at the NLB Big Book Giveaway! I quite like Moers’ fantasy works (The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is really inventive) so this was an easy pick for me. While A Wild Ride Through The Night is fantasy like so many of his other stories, it’s… Read More Book Review: A Wild Ride Through The Night by Walter Moers

Book Review: Lab Rats by Dan Lyon

August 17, 2023
Lab Rats by Dan Lyon

I borrowed this book because the subtitle mentioned “tech gurus” and I thought it was going to be another book on influencers. But I was wrong – Lab Rats is about what’s wrong with work (in the US and spreading throughout the world) and what can be done right. In Lab Rats, Dan Lyon explores… Read More Book Review: Lab Rats by Dan Lyon

Book Review: Break the Internet by Olivia Yallop

August 16, 2023
Break the Internet by Olivia Yallop

As it turns out, there are quite a few books on influencers. Break the Internet is somewhere between Swipe Up For More and Get Rich or Lie Trying in terms of how positive it is about influencers, which I guess makes it fitting that I read it last out of the three. As with Swipe… Read More Book Review: Break the Internet by Olivia Yallop

Book Review: Get Rich Or Lie Trying by Symeon Brown

August 15, 2023
Get Rich Or Lie Trying by Symeon Brown

After the relatively positive image of influencers that I got in Swipe Up For More, I decided to take a turn towards the dark side of influencing. Just joking, I had Get Rich Or Lie Trying on my TBR for a while and the idea that it would be a contrast to Swipe Up For… Read More Book Review: Get Rich Or Lie Trying by Symeon Brown

Book Review: Swipe Up For More! by Stephanie McNeal

August 14, 2023
Swipe Up For More! by Stephanie McNeal

Hello everyone! I’m trying something new on the blog this week. Since I read a bunch of books that were on the same thing pretty much one after the other (okay, I may have broken it up with some fiction reads), I decided to post them one after the other. On Friday, you’ll see an… Read More Book Review: Swipe Up For More! by Stephanie McNeal

Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski

August 11, 2023
Beast by Matt Wesolowski

Yes, I have read Book 4 in the Six Stories series! I may just go ahead and binge book 5 and 6, since it would be a pity for me to dive back into my TBR and forget about this series. In this new instalment of the Six Stories “podcast”, Scott King has travelled to… Read More Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski

Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

August 10, 2023
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Well, this book has been very popular for a long time now and I finally read it, thanks to my boyfriend’s mum who loaned me her copy! I can see why A Man Called Ove is popular – it’s a heartwarming tear-jerker, very much like a feel-good movie. Ove, the titular character in this novel,… Read More Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Book Review: Spectre by Verena Tay

August 9, 2023
Spectre by Verena Tay

Happy Birthday, Singapore! I was going to take today off, but I realised I actually had a Singlit review and decided that today would be the perfect day to post it… even if my review isn’t wholly positive. I saw this book when the library was giving away books and decided to pick it up… Read More Book Review: Spectre by Verena Tay

Book Review: Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley

August 7, 2023
Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley

A pretty long while back, my boyfriend was making a few purchases on Amazon and needed to buy one more thing to get free shipping. He asked me if I needed anything and for some reason, I thought: I want another Anthony Berkeley mystery. Berkeley’s mysteries are both inventive and hard to find in the… Read More Book Review: Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley

[Major Spoilers] Changeling by Matt Wesolowski

August 4, 2023
Changeling by Matt Wesolowski

Although I had quite a few books to read, I couldn’t stay away from the Six Stories series. So I borrowed the third book, Changeling, and was BLOWN AWAY. I am going to be talking about the series so far in general, so I would recommend you click away from this page right now if… Read More [Major Spoilers] Changeling by Matt Wesolowski
