When I heard about Kittea’s Christmas teas, I knew that I had to try them. So as soon as they arrived at teapasar @ Nomadx, I bought one tin of each flavour. We had the Dayre Tea ParTEA the next day, so I brought them along for everyone to try as well. The teas came in two… Read More Kittea’s Christmas Teas
I stumbled across this in Book Depository and decided to borrow it to see if I wanted to buy my own. Now that I’ve read it, I definitely want my own copy. Victorian Fairy Tales is a collection of tales by Victorian authors. It starts with two traditional fairy tales – Rumpel-Stilts-kin and The Princess… Read More Victorian Fairy Tales edited by Michael Newton
I don’t normally do self-promo stuff here because it’s not my style, but I’m having a year-end promo! I moved to KDP Select this year, since I wasn’t putting in the effort to make it wide, and thought that Christmas would be the perfect time to give stuff away. So I’m giving The Nutcracker King… Read More Christmas Promo (17th to 19th December)
Now that this is my main ‘online’ home, I feel like rambling about how things have gone now and then (looks like it’s about once a week for now).

I’m planning to look into… Read More The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu translated and abridged by Edward G. Seidensticker
Before we went on our trip last year, 10 days in England sounded like plenty to me. Until I realised the amount of ground we had to cover, which meant that we only got about half a day in each location (except for London). One of the places that I would love to visit in… Read More (I Want to Revisit) Bath

In Mexico, fake news has led to similarly deadly violence while the African… Read More Weaponised Lies by Daniel J. Levitin
I’m always a little scared when I read another Anne of Green Gables book. The ones I’ve read are all so good and Anne is growing up and what if this book is the one that loses is magic? Luckily, my fears have proven unfounded so far. In Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne is the… Read More Anne of Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery
The minute I saw that Lupicia and Studio Ghibli were doing a collaboration, I knew that I wanted their teas. The only problem was that I moved back to Singapore last year, which means that I don’t have easy access to the どんぐり共和国 (donguri kyowakoku) shops anymore. Thankfully, I had a tea lover friend who… Read More Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service Teas
I don’t normally do recap posts but I did want to talk about my weekend. It’s the first time that I had to do closing for our PS store and I had to do it for two days in a row (Friday and Saturday). So yeah, I was so nervous when I got to work… Read More Weekend Recap: Tea Party & Rest
