Book Review: The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers

March 10, 2020
The Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers

I heard great things about The Nine Tailors from The Golden Age of Murder so I had to borrow it. While I enjoyed the book, it felt very familiar, as though I had read it before. So I went to Goodreads and… I’ve read this seven years ago! This is shaping up to be the… Read More Book Review: The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers

March 9, 2020
Mental Health Monday Burnout Anxiety

This is the start of an irregular series where, on Mondays, I’ll be posting about mental health. It might be an update or something that I’ve learnt, it might be a collection of links that resonated with me, or it might be a book review. I’ve been talking about mental health on and off for… Read More Mental Health Monday #1: Burnout, Anxiety, and other links

Book Review: Blackwing by Ed McDonald

March 6, 2020
Blackwing by Ed Mcdonald

I first heard about the Raven’s Mark series when the Orangutan Librarian reviewed Crowfall, the third in the series. It sounded amazing and I immediately made a mental note to borrow the first book someday. Well, the someday is here (and sooner than some other book I have on my TBR list) and you know… Read More Book Review: Blackwing by Ed McDonald

March 5, 2020
Gion Tsujiri Tea Review

A friend of mine came back from Japan recently and she gifted me this packet of teas as omiyage! I love Japanese teas so even though I’ve still got quite a lot of loose leaf green teas left, I decided to try this as soon as I could. This set of three consists of three… Read More Tea Tasting: 3 Teas from 祇園辻利 (Gion Tsujiri) + Mini Mysteary

State of the Teacups (March 2020)

March 3, 2020
Vintage Teacup Collection March 2020

This is long overdue but this post is going to be all about my vintage teacups! I started buying them last October and it’s quickly become an addiction. Since I’m honestly loving them all so much, I’m okay with splashing out the cash for them. But beauty is best shared, so here is my collection:… Read More State of the Teacups (March 2020)

Book Review: Have Mercy on Us All by Fred Vargas

March 2, 2020
Have Mercy on Us All by Fred Vargas

After a happy time doing January in Japan on bookstagram, I was pretty eager to continue with February in France. Since I’m pretty unfamiliar with the genre, I had a pretty fun time looking for books. I ended up focusing on mysteries because that’s a genre I love and it felt more accessible, eventually borrowing… Read More Book Review: Have Mercy on Us All by Fred Vargas

Book Review: Joy in the Morning by P.G. Wodehouse

February 28, 2020
joy in the morning pg wodehouse

Wodehouse is fast becoming a comfort read, along with Miss Read’s series of books. But while I read Miss Read for the charm of old-time rural England, Wodehouse appeals for the sense of humour that suffuses his works. Joy in the Morning has Bertie Wooster endeavouring to evade marriage (again) and the wrath of his… Read More Book Review: Joy in the Morning by P.G. Wodehouse

Teaware Review: OSULLOC Green Cup

February 27, 2020

In a sort-of follow up to my review of Osulloc’s Volcanic Rock Tea, I’m here with my thoughts on the Osulloc green cup, which was also given to me by the same friend who went to Korea and not actually green in colour (full name on the bottom: “OSULLOC Green Cup (Ivory)”. Again, I couldn’t… Read More Teaware Review: OSULLOC Green Cup
