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
Hello friends! It has been a while since my last Lupicia quick tea review post and I was distracted due to Easter and falling sick (again). This time whatever I got was pretty powerful because I got dizzy and breathless and basically was completely unable to work for two days. So let me think back… Read More Lupicia Quick Tea Reviews #2
I intended to leave a bit of time between the Dark is Rising series, but I was just too keen to revisit this series so I picked up The Dark is Rising, the second in the series (and from which the series derives its title) and promptly got absorbed into the story. The Dark is… Read More Book Review: The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper
Lately, I’ve been looking into a mysTEAry regarding a line in one of Agatha Christie’s books and how many types of afternoon teas there might have been. Which is how I found Afternoon Tea: A History by Julia Skinner. I’ve read a bit about afternoon teas while reading other tea books (such as in A… Read More Tea Book Review: Afternoon Tea by Julia Skinner
