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
I borrowed this book because the subtitle mentioned “tech gurus” and I thought it was going to be another book on influencers. But I was wrong – Lab Rats is about what’s wrong with work (in the US and spreading throughout the world) and what can be done right. In Lab Rats, Dan Lyon explores… Read More Book Review: Lab Rats by Dan Lyon
As it turns out, there are quite a few books on influencers. Break the Internet is somewhere between Swipe Up For More and Get Rich or Lie Trying in terms of how positive it is about influencers, which I guess makes it fitting that I read it last out of the three. As with Swipe… Read More Book Review: Break the Internet by Olivia Yallop
After the relatively positive image of influencers that I got in Swipe Up For More, I decided to take a turn towards the dark side of influencing. Just joking, I had Get Rich Or Lie Trying on my TBR for a while and the idea that it would be a contrast to Swipe Up For… Read More Book Review: Get Rich Or Lie Trying by Symeon Brown
Hello everyone! I’m trying something new on the blog this week. Since I read a bunch of books that were on the same thing pretty much one after the other (okay, I may have broken it up with some fiction reads), I decided to post them one after the other. On Friday, you’ll see an… Read More Book Review: Swipe Up For More! by Stephanie McNeal
Yes, I have read Book 4 in the Six Stories series! I may just go ahead and binge book 5 and 6, since it would be a pity for me to dive back into my TBR and forget about this series. In this new instalment of the Six Stories “podcast”, Scott King has travelled to… Read More Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski
Well, this book has been very popular for a long time now and I finally read it, thanks to my boyfriend’s mum who loaned me her copy! I can see why A Man Called Ove is popular – it’s a heartwarming tear-jerker, very much like a feel-good movie. Ove, the titular character in this novel,… Read More Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
Happy Birthday, Singapore! I was going to take today off, but I realised I actually had a Singlit review and decided that today would be the perfect day to post it… even if my review isn’t wholly positive. I saw this book when the library was giving away books and decided to pick it up… Read More Book Review: Spectre by Verena Tay
Hello friends! Are you surprised that I’m back with another sustainabiliTEA profile? This part of the blog has been on hiatus for a while, but when Hanna from Wild Orchard reached out, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to learn more about another tea brand. Wild Orchard is an American-Korea tea brand that focuses on creating… Read More SustainabiliTEA: Wild Orchard Tea
A pretty long while back, my boyfriend was making a few purchases on Amazon and needed to buy one more thing to get free shipping. He asked me if I needed anything and for some reason, I thought: I want another Anthony Berkeley mystery. Berkeley’s mysteries are both inventive and hard to find in the… Read More Book Review: Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley
