I can’t find the image now, but just after the Avengers Endgame opening weekend, one of my friends shared an image of the top movie in various countries. Endgame topped them all – except in Japan, where the number one movie was Detective Conan: Fist of the Blue Sapphire. If the fact that Detective Conan… Read More Movie Review: The Fist of the Blue Sapphire (Detective Conan Movie #23)
I think I’m warming up to Lord Peter Wimsey. According to Goodreads, I gave three stars to the first Lord Peter Wimsey book I read, four stars to the next, and I think this is either a four or five star read (it’d be 4.5 if Goodreads let me give half stars, but they don’t… Read More Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers
This entire post started when my sister asked me to turn the cup of tea I made for her into cold tea. It was a little late to start cold brewing (given that the tea was already in hand), so I decided to let it cool down naturally instead of adding ice and possibly diluting… Read More Taste Test: Cold Brew vs Iced Dancong Tea
I remember hearing about this book from somewhere, but I forgot to note it down so sorry if you’ve reviewed this recently and I forgot to mention that I found the book from your review! (I should probably start following everyone on Goodreads too because it makes it so much easier to see if someone… Read More The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
It’s taking much longer than expected to write the posts about my UK trip and I’m attributing that to the fact that work has been really busy lately. But, the posts will be written and posted – hopefully fairly close together like the haul posts. As with the book haul, I think I held back… Read More UK Tea Haul
[There is nothing worse than writing an entire review, only to find out that nothing was saved. This is one of the reviews so let’s hope the rewritten version doesn’t leave anything out – though I doubt anyone but I will care] After reading How to Do Nothing, I was motivated to continue reading about… Read More Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
I first heard this book from the Would Quitting Instagram Make You Happier episode of Why’d You Push That Button. One of the hosts mentioned that How to Do Nothing captured her feelings about social media pretty well, and it got me curious enough to read. This is a pretty difficult book to summarise in… Read More How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell
I have refined my shopping on trips to two things: tea and books (well, three if you count the tons of snacks I buy as omiyage). I’ve found out that when it comes to souvenirs for myself, these are the two that I enjoy the most (what am I supposed to do with endless magnets… Read More 2019 UK Trip Book Haul
Reading Adventure on the High Teas reminded me that I’ve had Dark Entries on my reading list for quite some time and that it was high time I got to it. I’m not quite sure how I came across the book, but I suspect the praise by Neil Gaiman on the cover played a part… Read More Dark Entries by Robert Aickman
My second book tag and the first one where I was actually tagged!!! I was tagged by Brittany from Perfectly Tolerable and I am so excited to talk about fantasy (although I haven’t been reading as much recently). This tag was first created by Jo from The Bookworm Dreamer. The Rules Thank the person who… Read More Quick Fire Fantasy Tag
