Everything to do with books! Mostly book reviews, but occasionally, I have the non-review bookish post too.
I was at a bit of a loss as to what to read after I finished all the Jane Austens I had at home. At first, I thought of reading Death Came to Pemberley but I gave up after a few pages – not because the book was bad (I enjoyed it the first time… Read More Daily Reading: 10th May//Some Historical Fiction
I don’t normally see the National Reading Movement SG account share economic books so when it talked about Prosperity Without Growth by Tim Jackson, I made a note to borrow it. It’s been some time since I read a serious economics book and I wanted to challenge my brain a little. In Prosperity Without Growth,… Read More Book Review: Prosperity Without Growth by Tim Jackson
It’s the weekend and I have a lot more time to read (although I did end up working for a bit). With the extra time, I managed to finish Emma and Pride and Prejudice, which makes the end of the Jane Austen rereads for now – I wonder what I should read next… Interestingly, I’m… Read More Daily Reading: 9th May//Emma + Pride and Prejudice
One silver lining about the circuit breaker is that I’m finally cooking from my cookbooks! Among others, I got a copy of Dining with Mr Darcy during my visit to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. I admired the book greatly when I bought it, but after that I put it aside because I hardly… Read More Stay Home Bakes #4: Dining with Mr Darcy by Pen Vogler
Emma is a lot longer than I remembered so I’m only halfway through it today! I must say, knowing what is going to happen is making more more anxious than not knowing what to happen – [SPOILERS AHEAD] I know, for example, that Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax are secretly engaged, so every time Emma… Read More Daily Reading: 8th May//Emma Part 1
Brianna and Krysta at Pages Unbound have brought back their Friday Classic Remarks and since I’ve been rereading old favourites, this week’s question spoke to me: What classic did you love when you were younger—and you still love now? It’s a good thing that the prompt doesn’t limit you to one book! I don’t think… Read More Classic Remarks: What classic did you love when you were younger—and you still love now?
The only book I have to talk about today is Sense and Sensibility, so I suppose this will be a little more like a proper review! Among Austen’s novels, Sense and Sensibility has probably made the smallest impression on me. I love Pride and Prejudice, I actually really enjoy Mansfield Park and Fanny, I think… Read More Daily Reading: 7th May//Sense and Sensibility
I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of working (albeit with a reduced workload) and reading at the same time! I managed to finish Persuasion this morning and even had the time to ask Instagram which book I should read next. Unfortunately, it was a tie when I wanted to start something new so… Read More Daily Reading: 6th May//Persuasion Part 2 + Sense and Sensibility Part 1
When I first saw this, I thought it was a book written by C.S. Lewis about reading and got very excited. Unfortunately, my first assumption was wrong: this is a book about quotes from C.S. Lewis about reading, which is different from what I expected but still delightful. Divided into two main sections, The Reading… Read More Book Review: The Reading Life by C.S. Lewis
After I baked the bath buns yesterday (pictures soon! I just have to write my review of the cookbook haha), the yearning to read Jane Austen was really strong, so once I finished Pollyanna, I switched to Austen. I actually wanted to read Northanger Abbey, but I realised that I did not have a copy… Read More Daily Reading: 5th May//Persuasion Part 1
