I didn’t think that I read a lot this year, because my reading time has gone down drastically since I started my MBA programme but as it turns out, 2021 was a great year for reading! I reviewed 160 books (and finished rereading The Tale of Genji – more on that later in the post),… Read More 2021 in Books: Favourites + Genji Project
As much as I love tea, it’s a bit hard for me to summarise an entire year in tea because I mostly write tea reviews and I don’t really keep track of my favourite teas like I do for books. Instead, I’ll just talk about three things that stood out this year: First, and most… Read More My Top 3 Tea Moments of 2021
So this was the least intimidating end-of-year post to write because I already did an update in June! And I actually don’t have that much to write for this because thanks to school, I’m more likely to stop a podcast than to start one – I don’t have as much time for podcasts nowadays! Allez-y!… Read More [2021] Year-End Podcast Update
I was trying to think of anything I might have missed blogging about and had almost convinced myself that I was done when I realise that I never really shared about my time in Switzerland! I was only there for three days, but I had managed to go back to France to visit Strasbourg and… Read More A Picture Heavy Recap of 3 Days in Basel and Strasbourg
Last book tag of the year!!

I heard about The Cult of We on Bookstagram, and since I have enjoyed the previous business-crime books that I read, I put this on my TBR list. And because my TBR list is a monster by now, I didn’t actually get around to this book until my finance professor assigned us a reading on… Read More Book Review: The Cult of We by Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell
Hi friends! This is going to be the last sustainabiliTEA profile of the year before I take a break for Christmas so I’m really excited to talk to you about Satemwa Tea Estate! I first heard about this farm from Henrietta’s book Infused, and her description of their teas was so compelling that I had… Read More SustainabiliTEA: Satemwa Tea Estate
I bought this at the Church fair (along with 5 other books, because it was a buy 5 get 1 free type of deal) because it sounded vaguely familiar and I figured it was one of the books that I’ve always said I wanted to read. But after I started reading it, I found the… Read More Rereading: Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (Spoiler Alert)
Because looking at my blog feed, I feel like I’m the only one who’s not ready! I’m definitely planning to write about my favourite books of the year, a year-in-review for tea, and the half-year podcast roundup, the Skulduggery Pleasant tag, and I kind of want to do a general life update post but I’ve… Read More Is anyone else not ready for the end of year roundup posts?
I was looking for at least one Christmas-themed book to read this year and since I enjoy mysteries, this sounded like it was right up my alley!

Sayers… Read More Book Review: Murder Under the Christmas Tree edited by Cecily Gayford
