I have not mentioned this before but I’m pretty sure the Honeycomb Cookie Doh is one of the reasons why I bought the Autumn sampler set!! Because I loooove cookies! The product page is no more, which means I can’t really introduce the blend, so let’s jump straight into the review First Impressions The dry… Read More Tea Review: Honeycomb Cookie Doh by Bird and Blend Tea
Hello friends! It is Day 3 of March and I’m already feeling overwhelmed. Not with the reading, but all the ancillary aspects (basically the blogging stuff). This is what I read today: Annabel Thong by Imram Hashim – This is not a reread, but a new one! It’s the book club pick for the next… Read More March Rereading Madness: Day 3 (and apologies in advance)
Hello friends! It is Day 2 and I managed to finish the Princess Bride and a whole book!! And go to a cafe to persuade them to do a tea webinar so I feel like a lot of progress has been made. In terms of what I read: The Princess Bride – This was fun,… Read More March Re-Reading Madness: Day 2
I hope you are enjoying this series of tea reviews where I alternate between a flavoured tea and a straight tea because I am definitely enjoying them! I’m getting a lot of variety in my tea and that makes me happy. So today’s tea is another one of the samples that I received from The… Read More Tea Review: Kumamoto Densho Kamairicha by The Tea Crane
Hi friends! You may have noticed that today’s book review appeared a few hours earlier than normal. That’s because I’ve decided to make March a month for rereading! And as with the previous month of rereading last May, I’m aiming to focus on rereading books that I already own and updating everyone about it. Some… Read More March Re-Reading Madness: Day 1
Before we begin: this review will have mild spoilers because of things I want to talk about, so if you want to avoid all of that, please skip this post. I somehow missed Rebecca’s first review of this series, but her review of the second book, Perfect Prey, caught my eye and I decided to… Read More Book Review: Perfect Remains by Helen Fields
So… I’ve somehow joined a real life bookclub, which is exciting because I get to talk to people about books in real time! I couldn’t make it to the first meeting, but someone chose Agatha Christie as the second book so I am already feeling very positive about this group of people! Even if I… Read More Rereading: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
I am making good progress through the Autumn Sampler pack that I got from Bird & Blend (between this and the Tea Crane samples I got, I am seriously falling in love with tea samples – such a good way to have a variety of tea!) and I opened this! Eton Mess is one of… Read More Tea Review: Eton Mess from Bird and Blend Tea Co.
Since I started reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, I thought it would be fitting to read more about the man who wrote the stories (no, not Dr Watson). Since I don’t believe the conspiracy theory that Holmes and Watson actually exist, it’s time to read about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Man Who Would be… Read More Book Review: The Man Who Would Be Sherlock by Christopher Sandford
I’ve generally been slowly and quietly drinking the teas in Lupicia’s Book of Tea, but I could not resist talking about this one. The English name is Sencha Fuji, but the Japanese name is 富士 香駿 (Fuji Koshun). Apparently, the 香駿/Koshun cultivar is a relatively rare cultivar, so I decided to dig around and see… Read More Introducing: Koshun (香駿) Cultivar
