Tea Review: Renegade Black by Renegade Tea

October 25, 2022
Renegade Black Tea Review

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

Movie Review: Silent Parade

October 24, 2022
Movie Review Silent Parade

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

Book Review: The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth

October 21, 2022
The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth

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

Tea Review: Sunset Garden by Renegade Tea

October 20, 2022
Sunset Garden Renegade Tea Review

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

Book Review: The Last Séance by Agatha Christie

October 17, 2022
The Last Séance by Agatha Christie

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

Do you Speak Like a Chatbot?

October 14, 2022

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?

Book Review: The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel

October 13, 2022
The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel

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

Trying Hema’s Cake Kit (I failed)

October 11, 2022

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)

Book Review: Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu

October 10, 2022
Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu

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

2022 Rereading Week: Day 6 (The End)

October 8, 2022

It’s Saturday! And I have to end the rereading week here because I’m going out for dinner tomorrow (and have a pretty full day anyway) so I probably won’t have time to read much. Today was also a busy day, so I chose something short to reread: This is The Girl with the Green Ear,… Read More 2022 Rereading Week: Day 6 (The End)
