So this is actually the second Ruth Ware book I tried reading. The first one was The Woman in Cabin 10, and I just didn’t vibe with the book and gave it up after a few chapters. I didn’t really plan to try another Ware book, but she appeared on the podcast All About Agatha… Read More Book Review: One By One by Ruth Ware
Now that my one week sip-down is over, I can try new teas again! The next two teas will be from The Tea Crane’s monthly tea subscription and they are both made from Benifuuki cultivars! As you may remember, I love this cultivar in black tea form so I am very excited to try these.… Read More Tea Review: Benifuuki Kamairicha Yame from The Tea Crane
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this on the blog, but I am a huge, huge fan of The Great British Bake Off (if you know me in real life, you’ve probably heard me talk about been/been made to watch an episode with me). So when I found this cookbook by the bakers of 2016,… Read More Cookbook Review: The Great British Bake Off Perfect Cakes & Bakes to Make At Home
Like I mentioned last week, I’ll be doing a mini-series of reviews about courses that I’ve taken and what I think about them. Just a quick note upfront, I have no affiliate links with this course so I do not financially benefit if you decide to purchase it. So, this first course I’m reviewing is… Read More Course Review: Self Publishing 101 by Mark Dawson
It took a while, but I finally found a copy of Descendant of the Crane! I put this book on my TBR list the minute I heard about it – I mean, how can I not put a fantasy inspired by Chinese history into my TBR list? Especially since I loved The Grace of Kings… Read More Book Review: Descendant of the Crane by Joan He
Clifford recommend this book to me, and since I can’t resist a book with the word “tea” in the title, I started reading it as soon as possible! The Last Tea Bowl Thief is a novel centered around a remarkable tea bowl known as “yabo”. The book alternates between the past, where we find out… Read More Book Review: The Last Tea Bowl Thief by Jonelle Patrick
I don’t know why, but I’ve been seeing Kristin Hannah pop up a fair bit on bookstagram, which made me want to reread her books. Happily, I found out that I own Winter Garden, and happily dove into this. Winter Garden is the story of Meredith, Nina, and their distant mother. After their father, who… Read More Rereading: Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
Can you guess what this bag is? (If you said “rubbish”, it’s not technically wrong) So last week, I was a little panicked because I wanted to open some new teas, but I realised that I still had a lot of opened teas. In a perfect world, I would finish one tea before opening another… Read More One Week Sip-Down
I heard about this book about Instagram from a bookstagram account on Instagram (no surprise there) and of course, my interest was piqued. No Filter is a business memoir, charting the rise of Instagram and its complicated relationship with its users. If you’re looking to find out: What feedback Ariana Grande gave Instagram when she… Read More Book Review: No Filter by Sarah Frier
I don’t know if learning from online courses can be considered a hobby, but if it is, then… I think this has developed into a hobby (if you can call this a hobby). It started with me signing up for free MOOCs, and ended with me actually having bought several courses! Why are they so… Read More Why I Love Online Courses + How to Decide if a Course is Worth Buying
