As much as I enjoyed The Corset, this was not a binge-able book. Also, I need to be able to vaguely talk about the ending; I won’t give concrete spoilers but if you’re determined not to know anything, please click away now! The Corset is a novel set in Victorian England, centred around the question… Read More Book Review: The Corset by Laura Purcell
I’m continuing my tasting journey through Renegade Tea Farm with another tea from them! I realised that most of the teas I’ve not tried are black teas, so I decided to give their Renegade Black a try. This is what they had to say about the tea on their website: “Renegade Black is a representative… Read More Tea Review: Renegade Black by Renegade Tea
It’s been a while since I did a movie review, but this one is totally in line with the origins of this blog because it’s a movie based on the Jdrama series Galileo. I don’t think I’ve talked about Galileo in years (and maybe only briefly at the start of blogging) but this was one… Read More Movie Review: Silent Parade
It’s time for another Book Club Book Review! I’m not sure how this book was chosen but since I was told that we would HAVE to meet at a restaurant which has great cakes as a character in the book is a baker, I’m guessing someone was in the mood for something sweet. Or a… Read More Book Review: The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth
It’s been a while, so it’s time for another review of a renegade tea. As a recap, I bought a sample pack of tea from Renegade Tea Farms and I’ve been slowly going through them. This time, I thought I’ll try a green tea called Sunset Garden. Here’s what Renegade Tea farmers have to say… Read More Tea Review: Sunset Garden by Renegade Tea
I chanced upon this book in the library and was immediately intrigued because the supernatural is not something I associate with Agatha Christie. And if you tell me both Poirot and Miss Marple are in a few of these stories, then of course I have to read this! The Last Séance is a collection of… Read More Book Review: The Last Séance by Agatha Christie
Today, I listened to an episode of Cautionary Tales titled “The Online Date That’s Too Good to be True” (listen and find show notes here). I initially thought this was going to be an episode on the dangers of online dating, but it turned out to be an episode on chatbots and what it means… Read More Do you Speak Like a Chatbot?
This is another one of those books where I’m not sure how I heard of it, but have absolutely no regrets putting it on my TBR list! In The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane, Emmy, the daughter of a prestigious parenting guru, is sent to Wellsworth, a boarding school in England so that her mother… Read More Book Review: The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel
I’m lucky that baking mixes can last a long time because I bought this in June and only got around to making it now! If you remember, I tried Primark’s cookie mix a while back… to disastrous results. So I was a little bit worried about Hema’s cake kit and my own baking skills; I’ve… Read More Trying Hema’s Cake Kit (I failed)
My boyfriend got this book for me for my birthday, which means that I got to read something I probably wouldn’t have picked up otherwise. While this was no Hamnet, it did provide a lot of food for thought. Interior Chinatown shows what happens when you try to define your identity through its relationship with… Read More Book Review: Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu
