Book Review: The Loneliness Epidemic by Susan Mettes

December 4, 2021
The Loneliness Epidemic by Susan Mettes

I opened NetGalley for the first time in a long time and stumbled across this book. Perhaps it’s because I moved to a new country alone this year, but something about the book caught my eye and compelled me to read it. In The Loneliness Epidemic, Susan Mettes uses data from the Barna Group to… Read More Book Review: The Loneliness Epidemic by Susan Mettes

Book Review: There Is No Good Card For This by Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell

December 2, 2021
There Is No Good Card For This by Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell

A friend of mine talked about this book and it sounded interesting so I decided to check it out! There Is No Good Card For This is a book about how we can respond (and why we should respond) when someone we know meets terrible circumstances. The book is divided into three parts: why we… Read More Book Review: There Is No Good Card For This by Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell

Tea Review: Prodigy Mesame by Renegade Tea Estate

December 1, 2021
Prodigy Mesame by Renegade Tea Estate

This is the third and final tea that I bought from Renegade Tea Estate, and a part of me is a little sad because I’ve really been enjoying these teas! But, I do have an advent calendar that starts tomorrow, so it’s probably for the best that I keep my tea stash to a somewhat… Read More Tea Review: Prodigy Mesame by Renegade Tea Estate

Book Review: Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

November 30, 2021
Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

This is one of the books that have been on the TBR for over a year, which… is actually not that long compared to other books. But basically what I wanted to say is that I’ve been meaning to read this for a while! I didn’t borrow Rules for Perfect Murders earlier because I was… Read More Book Review: Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

My Experience @ Wine Tasting Bled

November 26, 2021
My Experience Wine Tasting Bled

When I was looking for food places close to our hotel in Bled, I came across a location called “Wine Tasting Bled.” Since we only didn’t have that many free days in Slovenia, and because the wine tasting started at 8:30, which was doable for some of the weeknights, I really, really wanted to try… Read More My Experience @ Wine Tasting Bled

Book Review: The Master Key by Masako Togawa

November 25, 2021
The Master Key by Masako Togawa

It’s been a while since I read a Japanese mystery, and I was pretty excited for this – especially since the cover uses the words “spine chilling”. Set in an ageing apartment for women, most of whom are also pretty elderly by the time the book is set, The Master Key is about a crime… Read More Book Review: The Master Key by Masako Togawa

Book Review: A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

November 24, 2021
A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

After a particularly demanding microeconomics course, I thought it would be useful if I read something on how to learn things involving numbers and graphs more efficiently. But even though I picked this book intending to learn from it, A Mind for Numbers exceeded my expectations because the strategies here on how to learn can… Read More Book Review: A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

Book Review: Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

November 23, 2021
Right Ho Jeeves by PG Wodehouse

I was reading this book while riding the bus with my roommate, and after we got off, she said to me: “I could see you laughing.” Which is totally true, but unfortunately, in the process of explaining the book to her, I realised that a lot of the humour gets lost while you explain it,… Read More Book Review: Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G.

Tea Review: Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate

November 19, 2021
Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate

This is the second of the three Renegade Tea Farm teas that I bought and… I have to admit that this tea taught me a lesson. But first, let’s start with the description of the tea: The Smooth Jazz’s recipe has developed over time together with new jazz tunes. We believe that this year’s batches… Read More Tea Review: Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate
