I love Discworld and I’ve read Snuff so it was impossible for me not to buy a copy of The World of Poo when I saw it. After all, how can I pass up a chance to find the book that makes Young Sam laugh and which Vimes finds educational? To be honest, I don’t… Read More Book Review: The World of Poo by Felicity Beedle and Terry Pratchett
Advent has started, which means that I’m going to go all-out when it comes to tea! Not that I’ve been holding back, but it’s nice to have a reason to go a little over the top. So this week, I’ll be going through the Bird & Blend Matcha Advent + sharing the one tea that… Read More Tea’s The Season: Advent Matcha + 2020 Sipdown
One of my online friends, Jennifer, wrote a book! And she very kindly sent me a copy because shipping is expensive, so obviously I had to bump it up the TBR list. And totally no regrets because I have not read an Epic Story* in a while. The Long Guest is set post-Tower of Babel,… Read More Book Review: The Long Guest by Jennifer Mugrage
And we’re back with another review of the What-Cha haul! This time, the tea is a Korean tea, which is one of the countries I don’t know much about. For reference, the only other straight tea from Korea that I’ve tried is the Volcanic Rock Tea by O’Sulloc, so I was super excited to find… Read More Tea Review: Korean Dong Cheon Daejak Semi-Wild Green Tea from What Cha
Despite the fact that I bought the book (the word “Jane Austen” was in the title, it’s inevitable), I approached it with some trepidation. I love Austen but I’m not sure how she fits into an advice column – and what if the author attempts to mimic Austen’s style? Thankfully, the book doesn’t go so… Read More Book Review: Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life Dilemmas by Rebecca Smith
In early September, I decided to buy a one-off Tea & Book box from Quaintly & Co., because Instagram marketing totally works on me. I’ve never subscribed to a book or tea box before because shipping tends to be really expensive, but £4.99 for shipping sounded okay if it was just once so I used… Read More Trying Quaintly’s Tea & Book Box
This is another one of my impulse BookXcess buys, but unlike some of the others (which were purchased because it hit the price+cover+blurb sweet spot), I wanted to buy Squirrel Meets World because: a) it was written by Shannon Hale, and b) I recalled Krysta from Pages Unbound talking about why you should read Squirrel… Read More Book Review: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl – Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale & Dean Hale
I don’t know if it’s the areas of the Internet that I hang out in but I realised that I don’t really see many generalist blogs. Most of the blogs I follow tend to fall into a certain niche: book blogs and tea blogs being the main ones. So I’m wondering, what is the best… Read More Discussion Post: How Niche is Your Blog?
I just spent 2 hours or so waiting for this video to upload, so I’m kinda bursting with a sense of achievement (or is this tiredness from having exercised?) and feel like sharing the video with you: Basically, I bought a bunch of stuff in August/September, bu for some reason they all decided to arrive… Read More Unboxing Video Because I Bought Too Much
I have never really been into journalling, but a side effect of getting on the more visual side of the internet (i.e. Instagram) is that I am filled with the urge to fill in all those unused notebooks prettily. While I’m still working on finding a way to make a physical book journal work for… Read More 3 Reasons Why You Should Keep a Tea Journal
