Book Review: The Doll Maker by Mary Burton

July 30, 2021
The Doll Maker by Mary Burton

The Doll Maker was recommended to me by a friend who enjoys serial-killer mysteries/thrillers and because we both enjoyed Liv Constantine’s The Wife Stalker, I ended up really enjoying this! The Doll Maker starts with two murders: one of a young boy caught up in a possible drug-dealing case, the other of a woman who… Read More Book Review: The Doll Maker by Mary Burton

Tea Thoughts: Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

July 29, 2021
Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

My sister recently moved back from the UK so I took the opportunity to ask her to help me bring back a black tea blend that I loved when I visited Stratford-upon-Avon. Looking at my original review, I called the tea “very bright, with an almost berry-ish aftertaste”, and since I brought a packet home,… Read More Tea Thoughts: Tea Reviews & Changing Tastes

Rereading: Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

July 27, 2021
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

So I’ve come to a little TBR drought, as I’ve not been going to the library, but instead of checking out more ebooks, I thought it would be nice to just reread some books that I have! I really loved Sarah Dessen when I was younger, so I decided to reread Just Listen. Just Listen… Read More Rereading: Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

Book Review: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

July 26, 2021
Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book, though I can’t remember from who or what were the good things, so I was really excited to dive into this book. Because of my rather bad memory, I dove into this with a positive impression but completely no expectations about how things would go.… Read More Book Review: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

A Beginner’s Guide to The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

July 16, 2021
The Tale of Genji Murasaki Shikibu Guide

Now that I’m done with rereading the unabridged version of The Tale of Genji, I thought it would be interesting to make one mega-post about the book. I hope that after you read this, you’ll have an idea of what this book is about, why you should/shouldn’t read it, and know where to find lots… Read More A Beginner’s Guide to The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

Book Review: Plagued by John Froude

July 15, 2021
Plagued by John Froude

Since COVID-19 looks like it will be endemic, I thought it would be useful to know a bit more about pandemics in general. Which is why the book Plagued by John Froude attracted my attention – I thought it would be useful. As its title says, Plagued is a book about plagues and it covers:… Read More Book Review: Plagued by John Froude

Book Review: Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

July 14, 2021
Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

I probably shouldn’t have read this because I haven’t read The House of Silk, but I heard this was not a direct sequel and Moriarty was on sale so… I bought it and have absolutely no regrets. Moriarty takes place straight after Conan Doyle’s The Final Problem, with both Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty presumed dead.… Read More Book Review: Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

Book Review: The Case of the Murderous Dr Cream by Dean Jobb

July 13, 2021
The Case of the Murderous Dr Cream by Dean Jobb

I haven’t taken part in a blog tour in years because I hate scheduling posts (and this tour is on Instagram!), but I made an exception for The Case of the Murderous Dr Cream because it’s historical true crime and I’ve never heard of Dr Cream before. Thomas Neill Cream was a Canadian born in… Read More Book Review: The Case of the Murderous Dr Cream by Dean Jobb

Book Review: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

July 12, 2021
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

I heard about this book when Em from A Geeky Jock reviewed it and since I am a sucker for cosy mysteries, I decided that I really want to read it. As you can guess from the title, the stars of this book are the members of the Thursday Murder Club. Initially, Elizabeth, Ibrahim, Ron,… Read More Book Review: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler

I’ve been in the mood for a thriller and this was in my overdrive wishlist so it was a perfect fit! In The Perfect Couple, Gemma comes home from a work trip to find that her husband Danny has vanished. Naturally, she reports this to the police. DCI Helena, on the other hand, is investigating… Read More Book Review: The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler
