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
After so long, I finally found some time where I was ready to get to know a new tea! This tea is a 2019 Dong Ding Oolong from Augur Tea Affairs – I talked about their 2009 Dragon Balls of Bulang recently and this was from the same tea haul. The description: “A restrained floral… Read More Tea Review: 2019 Dong Ding Oolong by Augur Tea Affairs
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
Hi friends! Since I have been challenging myself with baking and embroidery, I decide to try myself with filming a video as well! I was challenged to do a video during the 15 Minute Magic and it was honestly the hardest task out of three months of tasks. So I decided that I need to… Read More Talking about Books about Tea
May the Fourth be with all of you~ I actually had a lot more work than I expected to do today, but because I managed to read A Little Princess after writing yesterday’s post, and Little Lord Fauntleroy and Pollyanna aren’t too long, I actually have three books to talk about! Three books in which… Read More Daily Reading: 4th May//Good Children
