I was looking for a lighter read after my spate of non-fiction books and came across this book which has been languishing on my TBR. I found this from Em’s very positive review of it (if you see this, Em, I miss your posts!) and put it on my TBR list where it has sat… Read More Book Review: Changeling (The Oddmire #1) by William Ritter
Hello friends! August was a short month for me – I had something on pretty much every Saturday so all the days felt like it was compressed together. In fact, towards the end of the month, I felt so busy I decided to take half the week off. I’ll probably continue on a more relaxed… Read More August in Review
Before the month ends, let me recap two baking classes that I managed to go for! I’ve actually not been baking much this year, so these classes are a tiny breath of fresh air that remind me how much I enjoy baking (and how tiring it can be). By the way, both classes were from… Read More 2 Baking Classes I Went For Recently
Is this sixth story the end of the Six Stories series??? I would hope not but I have to say that this is a fitting end to a series that I enjoyed SO MUCH. Six Stories has never shied away from difficult “cases” – a girl who murdered her family, a pop star accused of… Read More Book Review: Demon by Matt Wesolowski
I really, really can’t stay away from the Six Stories series. Deity is the fifth book in the series and I’ll probably finish the last book before the month is out! What can I say – this essentially has six long “chapters” and although I would ordinarily find the chapters long, each chapter/episode is so… Read More Book Review: Deity by Matt Wesolowski
Why are some songs hits? Why is the Mona Lisa one of the most famous paintings around? How do things really go viral on the internet (and in real life)? Hit Makers by Derek Thompson does it best to answer why and how things go viral. I’m going to spoil the book for you because… Read More Book Review: Hit Makers by Derek Thompson
I saw a recommendation for this book and as a fairly anxious person, I thought it would be helpful. And wow, it has taken me so long to write this review, not because I was procrastinating, but essentially because I read the book twice – once where I read the book (where I made a… Read More Book Review: Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Alyn Brewer
Today’s post is just a short one to remember a tea blending experiment I tried recently. As you know, I reread Infused fairly recently and my attention was caught by the tea blending passage. I also received two Rare Tea Company teas as part of a subscription. While I can drink sencha all day every… Read More A little tea blending experiment
Here’s another book that I got for free at the NLB Big Book Giveaway! I quite like Moers’ fantasy works (The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is really inventive) so this was an easy pick for me. While A Wild Ride Through The Night is fantasy like so many of his other stories, it’s… Read More Book Review: A Wild Ride Through The Night by Walter Moers
Do you remember why you started your first blog? For me, my first blog was a Piczo website made with my sister and our neighbour. I remember trawling through Fanfiction.net to create a page with quotes/excerpts from my favourite stories, and of course sharing the site with friends who would type messages in the chat… Read More Some thoughts on the influencer economy
