Some time ago, I did a quick review of two Renegade Teas that I tried with my friend. Today, I want to bring you a slightly more detailed review of an oolong that I tried recently! Here is the tea description from Renegade Tea’s website: “This oolong has the perfect balance between the silky nature… Read More Tea Review: Miss Ohh Long by Renegade Tea
I think I found the answer to making sure you always enjoy ARCs: only choose those by authors you already like /jk (maybe?) Anyway, since I’ve read Perfect Remains by Helen Fields and enjoyed it (and should really start book 2 soon) and since I’m also a sucker for things that have myths and legends… Read More Book Review: The Last Girl to Die by Helen Fields
Ok, this is definitely a book that I selected based on the cover. I mean, it looks gorgeous! And to make things better, it has a lot of beautiful illustrations and gorgeous poems and texts as well. As the title indicates, Pleasures of Nature collects various poems and short texts about nature into one place.… Read More Book Review: Pleasures of Nature – A Literary Anthology selected by Christina Hardyment
Hello and welcome back to another instalment of “posts Eustacia should have written much earlier” (pretty much all non-book and some tea posts at this time, to be honest). But, I wanted to write this post and I will! During my time in France, I had the opportunity to buy (and then try) two different… Read More I tried 2 Primark Crafts
I’m sorry but I NEED to talk about the ending of this book, so please do not read this review if you intend to read this book and don’t want it spoiled!! It’s been years since I read a Jodi Picoult book (might be a decade, actually) and my main impression of her is that… Read More Book Review: Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult [Major Spoilers]
Hello friend! This is me tentatively moving back into the tea review space. I’ve actually had this tea for a while – since early June when my amazing friend helped me buy this tea – but I didn’t dare to open it until I came back to Singapore, and then I procrastinated on drinking it… Read More Tea Review: Regal Blend by Whittard
I have been thinking (again) about diverse stories. This post was sparked by a book I saw. It’s based on a Chinese painter that sounds absolutely fascinating – but the story synopsis sounds extremely orientalised. Couple that with Dior’s recent appropriation of the Chinese mamian skirt (which was honestly infuriating mostly because credit was not… Read More The Many Stories We Hold
I have procrastinated on this review because I wanted to write something longer and more in-depth, but it’s time to accept that that review is not going to happen, because there’s not that much I have to say about the book. I’ve heard about the concept of flow so much that I wanted to read… Read More Book Review: Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I’ve always had this vague idea that it would be nice to see the lavender fields at the end of my stay in France; it’s something that I’ve talked about with friends. But I never really thought I would be able to do it, since I was moving back around the end of June and… Read More I got to see the lavender fields!
I have no idea why I bought this book. It’s probably a combination of having heard about Trollope and liking the cover. Probably. Anyway, The Warden is the first book of Trollope’s that I’ve read. It’s about two good men – The Warden, who believes that he has done what is right to the men… Read More Book Review: The Warden by Anthony Trollope
