If anyone remembers my tea haul post from about two weeks back, well… I have tea reviews from that haul for you! Also, the second part of my tea haul came so I get to talk about lots and lots of tea today! More Tea Incoming You know, when I initially bought the teas, I… Read More Quick Tea Reviews: 5 Chinese Teas + Another Tea Haul!
I think I found this book after rereading Rabbits and looking for more stories from podcasts. Or maybe stories like podcasts (especially since I really enjoyed Sadie!). I can’t remember where I heard of Six Stories but it sounded fascinating so I decided to try the first book. Spoiler: I was hooked! Six Stories is… Read More Book Review: Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski
I was writing a review for a mystery novel and suddenly had a question that I wanted to ask everyone: do you (or how often do you) talk about spoilers in books and in what way? While I am generally okay with spoilers and sometimes quite desperately want to discuss something that would be a… Read More Discussion Post: How do you talk about spoilers?
Here is another book club book doing what it’s supposed to do: introduce me to new books that I’ve not read and should try reading, as well as giving us an opportunity to eat somewhere new (in this case, Turkish cuisine, though Greek cuisine could also work here). The Island of Missing Trees is both… Read More Book Review: The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
In my quest to read more books about tea, I stumbled across this one called Tea and Tourism. It’s published in 2007, so it’s a bit dated, but I hadn’t really heard of tea being paired with tourism as a concept and I wanted to find out more about it. With contributions from multiple researchers,… Read More Book Review: Tea and Tourism edited by Lee Jolliffe
I had this book on my TBR list for quite a while, so after I talked about it in my post on 7 Fantasy books based on 7 Different Mythologies and when I was at the library, I decided that it was time to bite the bullet and read it! (I have a terrible habit… Read More Book Review: The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh
Friends, I have to admit that I bought this book by accident. I saw the words “Love & Friendship” and “Jane Austen” on the page and thought it referred to her juvenilia Love & Freindship. However, this is actually a tongue-in-cheek version of Lady Susan, based on the movie Love & Friendship which was about… Read More Book Review: Love & Friendship by Whit Stillman
I must be in some kind of productive phase because I’m here with my second review from the Rare Tea Subscription that I’m sharing with a friend. My expectations are all over the place for this limited edition sencha – they are pretty high because the white tea from the first month was delicious, but… Read More Tea Review: Limited Edition Sencha by Rare Tea Company
Now that we’re in July, I’ve been able to crack open the other Jane Austen books that I bought before the month of rereading. While I think I’ve at least a copy of Austen’s novels, I didn’t have any of her juvenilia… until now, that is. Apart from Lady Susan, I also bought a copy… Read More Book Review: Sandition & Other Stories by Jane Austen
June was an intense work month. So intense that I turned to some retail tea-rapy. While knowing that I probably have more than enough tea for the next couple of months, I could NOT resist picking up quite a bit of Chinese tea (in sample form). Only half of my purchases are here but I… Read More My latest tea purchase
