Book Review: Thunderstruck by Erik Larson

January 25, 2022
Thunderstruck by Erik Larson

I’ve had this book on my TBR for quite some time, possibly because I really enjoyed his other book, The Devil in the White City (my Goodreads review); possibly because it’s got a link to Mrs McGinty’s Dead (my Goodreads review). Or maybe because of both these reasons. Thunderstruck is the tale of two men:… Read More Book Review: Thunderstruck by Erik Larson

A Quick Recap of my Paris Trip

January 24, 2022

While we’re still in January, I’d like to share a quick recap of my trip to Paris at the start of the year! I was there for my school’s Hackathon, but really, I had a few different goals for the trip. I wanted to: Go to Paris Disneyland Visit Lupicia and Mariage Freres Eat tonkotsu… Read More A Quick Recap of my Paris Trip

Book Review: Thank You, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

January 22, 2022

I don’t know if two authors count as the start of a trend, but I find that when it comes to comic series, the first few books aren’t necessarily the best. It’s like that for the first few Discworld books (one of the reasons why I’m not a huge Rincewind fan) and I find that… Read More Book Review: Thank You, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

Book Review: The Tudors in Love by Sarah Gristwood

January 20, 2022
The Tudors in Love by Sarah Gristwood

I first heard about The Tudors in Love when Sarah Gristwood went on the Medievalist podcast. The book intrigued me, so I decided to check it out! As you can guess from the title, The Tudors in Love is about love and the Tudors. To be specific, it’s about how the concept of courtly love… Read More Book Review: The Tudors in Love by Sarah Gristwood

What’s in Karel Capek’s 2022 Fukubukuro?

January 19, 2022

Hi friends! I wasn’t really planning to buy any fukubukuro (lucky bags) this year because I’m not living in Japan anymore, but I was talking to my friends about Karel Capek at the end of last year and one thing led to another and we ended up getting one of the fukubukuro to share! (I… Read More What’s in Karel Capek’s 2022 Fukubukuro?

Book Review: The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

January 18, 2022
The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

I’ve always enjoyed Jane Eyre retellings (even more than the original, for some reason) so when Wendy at Musings of a Bookish Kitty reviewed this, I was intrigued. I was reminded of the book when Wendy did a roundup of all the first lines of books that she read in 2021 and since I wanted… Read More Book Review: The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

Everything I did with the French Riviera Pass

January 16, 2022

My boyfriend came over during the last week of the year (hence my rush to finish writing all the end-of-year posts) and while I don’t want to give myself pressure to blog about the places we visited at the start of the year and the new school semester, I really want to share about the… Read More Everything I did with the French Riviera Pass

Discussion Post: How Important is the Bookish Community to You?

How Important is the Bookish Community to You

So I took a week off from bookish communities lately, to just read and relax without having to think about posting on the blog or Instagram. And you know, it was pretty peaceful! And even though the only thing that I missed in my break was talking to other people about books, actually coming back… Read More Discussion Post: How Important is the Bookish Community to You?
