I’ve heard of Barbara Pym from reviews over at Pages Unbound, so when I had some time and was looking for a lighter read, I decided to check out A Few Green Leaves as it was available on Libby. I started this book hoping for something like the Fairacre series by Miss Read, and I… Read More Book Review: A Few Green Leaves by Barbara Pym
After far too long, I am finally back with (I hope) a nice long review of a new tea! I have been holding back on opening any new packets because it’s really not great to have too much tea open and exposed to air but I have finally finished my Miss Ohh Long from Renegade… Read More Tea Review: 蜜香红茶 (Mixiang Hongcha)
Writing my review for She Deserves Better made me realise that I never wrote a review for The Great Sex Rescue – probably because I was too busy talking about it to all the people in Church. So I decided to reread The Great Sex Rescue and write a review. If you’re a Christian (or… Read More Book Review: The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Gregoire, Rebecca Lindenbach, and Joanna Sawatsky
It has taken about a month, but we are at the third installment of the Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews series and I’ll be finishing up the teas from December in this post. This means I only have the January teas left to drink (until Ethel passes me more). Today’s teas are pretty fruity – the… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #3
As it happens, my IRL book club is the one that gave me a kick in the pants to start on all those Greek retellings that I’ve been seeing in the blogosphere by picking two of them as book club reads. Stone Blind is one of them and since it was listed first, I decided… Read More Book Review: Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes
Reading Afternoon Tea: A History reminded me that I had The Hungry Empire on my TBR list (found this book via Skye Soon’s review, if you want to have another, detailed opinion about it!). Very much like Afternon Tea, The Hungry Empire focuses on how the British Empire was influenced by, or influenced the food… Read More Book Review: The Hungry Empire by Lizzie Collingham
What would you do if you found out that your father was a serial killer? And how would you respond when, twenty years later, young girls start to go missing again? A Flicker in the Dark is an exciting thriller that covers just that. When Chloe was twelve, girls started to go missing in her… Read More Book Review: A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
I was at my sister’s looking through her bookshelves when I saw this book. I just happened to finish all physical TBR books and therefore had no qualms when I saw this. Instead, I thought “a book the size of a brick looks like the kind of book I want to read.” Millennium is an… Read More Book Review: Millennium by Tom Holland
After a long time, I’ve finally managed to read The Red House Mystery, which is not only a Golden Age Mystery, but also the only mystery written by A.A. Milne, the author behind the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. In The Red House Mystery, Antony Gillingham decides to visit his friend Bill, who’s visiting another friend named Mark… Read More Book Review: The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne
As I started writing this review, it occurred to me that I never reviewed the first book by these three women! I definitely read and really enjoyed The Great Sex Rescue (enough to pre-order this book) but for all the real-life talking I did about the book and how it exposes the faulty marriage advice… Read More Book Review: She Deserves Better by Sheila Gregoire, Joanna Sawatsky, and Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach
