November in Review + December’s Reading & Tea Plans

December 4, 2023

Hello friends!! I actually had a really great reading month in November but that has come at the expense of pretty much everything else – you’ll see that my reading log only has the book and hasn’t been “beautified” with stickers yet. But no worries, it’s time to do a month in review. November in… Read More November in Review + December’s Reading & Tea Plans

Book Review: Revelation by CJ Sansom

November 29, 2023
Revelation by CJ Sansom

According to Goodreads, the last Shardlake book I read was away back in… 2017. And it’s kind of weird that I never continued because I love historical mysteries (the Owen Archer series is set in the same era and I’m more or less caught up to it, for example)! But no worries, a friend of… Read More Book Review: Revelation by CJ Sansom

Visiting Meert’s Tearoom in Lille

November 28, 2023
Meert Tearoom Lille

Here is something else that I forgot to talk about!! When I met up with one of my friends in Lille, we decided to go to a tearoom. And you know how I love tearooms. But anyway, this post is less of a review and more of a “I went there” type of post because… Read More Visiting Meert’s Tearoom in Lille

Book Review: The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher

November 27, 2023
The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher

I’ve had this book on my radar ever since The Literary Escapade talked about it (the site is currently private but I’ll link to the post in case it ever comes back) but somehow, it escaped my notice when I was doing my binge reading on social media! But it’s never too late to read… Read More Book Review: The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher

Book Review: Curry by Lizzie Collingham

November 24, 2023
Curry by Lizzie Collingham

I am writing this review somewhat handicapped because: 1) I did not write the review straightaway and 2) I had to reset my kobo and lost all my annotations. So here is a somewhat fuzzy review of this book on curry’s diverse history. Curry is the tale of how cultures influence food. In this book,… Read More Book Review: Curry by Lizzie Collingham

Tea Comparisons: Yutakamidori’s Sencha vs Black Tea Versions

November 23, 2023

I have been rather quiet about my Sayama teas recently because of all the other teas that I’ve been getting, but I recently cracked open the Yutakamidori cultivar’s sencha and black tea versions and thought it might be fun to do a comparison! I’ve been doing reviews of the cultivars for a bit so I… Read More Tea Comparisons: Yutakamidori’s Sencha vs Black Tea Versions

Reading in Japanese: いずも神話 Izumo Shinwa

November 22, 2023
Reading in Japanese Izumo Shinwa

While I was looking up Japanese history quite a while back, I came across the Shimane Kodai Bunka centre and its small online library. Apparently, the prefecture of Shimane provides a free PDF ebook (link to download page) called いずも神話/Izumo Shinwa and it’s perfect for people who are learning Japanese and/or who know Japanese and… Read More Reading in Japanese: いずも神話 Izumo Shinwa

Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #8

November 21, 2023

I’m not sure if it’s possible but I am somewhat rushing my teas for the last third of this month because December is close and that means CHRISTMAS TEAS! I’m not sure if I’ll get my advent calendar in time, but I am looking forward to drowning in teas. In the meantime, I’m trying to… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #8

Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

November 20, 2023
Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

I’ve been recommended this book a few times but never got around to it until I was in the library and found a copy! While I enjoyed this book, I do think that it’s a pity it was marketed slightly differently. Billed as a “retelling inspired by the Mid Autumn legend”, Daughter of the Moon… Read More Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

Book Review: Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome

November 17, 2023
Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome

I’ve heard about this classic children’s novel for a while and decided to finally pick it up! Swallows and Amazons is the story of two groups of children who are both very good sailors. The book opens with the Walkers, who have received permission to sail to, and camp on, a nearby island for the… Read More Book Review: Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
