Classic Remarks: My Favourite Roald Dahl Novel

August 21, 2020

It’s Friday and I’m here to participate in another Classic Remarks, hosted by Pages Unbound! I grew up reading Roald Dahl (and Enid Blyton, not sure if she counts as a classic too?) so I was really excited about this week’s prompt! This week’s prompt: Tell us about your favorite Roald Dahl novel It took a… Read More Classic Remarks: My Favourite Roald Dahl Novel

Book Review: The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine

August 20, 2020
The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine

I’m writing this review in an emotional post-book high but hopefully what I lack in coherence, I make up in enthusiasm because this is probably the best thriller that I’ll have read this year. I first heard about The Wife Stalker from Girl About the Yard, who named it one of her Top 3 Books… Read More Book Review: The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine

Gokoh by Onishi-en

Tea eight??? Tea Eight??? We’re almost done with all nine teas, guys! And honestly, I am loving all the sencha.

Book Review: Queens of the Conquest by Alison Weir

August 18, 2020
Queens of the Conquest by Alison Weir

After reading Alison Weir’s biography of Katherine Swynford and one of her novels, I was pretty keen to read more and when I saw Queens of the Conquest going for about SGD8, I could not resist it. And yes, I will be letting you know if I get a book at a bargain because how… Read More Book Review: Queens of the Conquest by Alison Weir

Book Review: Confronting the Classics by Mary Beard

August 17, 2020
Confronting the Classics Mary Beard

I’ve heard of Mary Beard for quite a few years, and have always intended to read her books, but as you know, my TBR list is long and I haven’t quite gotten around to all of them. But when I saw a copy of Confronting the Classics at an extremely reasonable price, I decided that… Read More Book Review: Confronting the Classics by Mary Beard

Cookbook Review: Tea Fit for a Queen by Historic Royal Palaces

August 16, 2020
Tea Fit for a Queen by Historic Royal Palaces

This is one of the books that I bought as part of my $400-worth-of-books-in-two-months book buying binge (that was a mouthful) and I have absolutely no regrets! I first saw this on Book Depository for about $15 and had it in my wishlist when I saw it on the remaindered books site for $5. Obviously,… Read More Cookbook Review: Tea Fit for a Queen by Historic Royal Palaces

Book Review: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

August 14, 2020
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

It feels a bit weird to be calling a Victorian-era book a page turner, but The Woman in White is definitely one. I got this partly because it was cheap and partly because it was famous, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The Woman in White starts with Walter Hartright, getting… Read More Book Review: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

3 Things To Do with Teas You Don’t Like

3 Things To Do with Teas You Don't Like

If you’re an unabashed tea-drinker, you’ll eventually end up with a hoard of tea. Some of this tea will be tea that you love, and some of it will be tea that you don’t like as much. Maybe it had a good description, maybe it smelled nice at first, but for whatever reason, you don’t… Read More 3 Things To Do with Teas You Don’t Like

Book Review: Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

August 12, 2020
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

While I have not watched Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, I’ve heard of Born a Crime. It’s one of the books that the library has multiple e-copies of, and in light of what’s been going recently, I thought it would be a good idea to educate myself a bit more and managed to get… Read More Book Review: Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

Tea Review: Haru-Midori by Okutomi-en (Sayama Tea #7)

August 11, 2020
Haru-Midori by Okutomi-en

I’m actually really happy (and surprised) that we’re at tea #7 of the Sayama teas! It means I’ve only got 2 more teas left so I may actually finish reviewing all the teas before the giveaway – I’m doing it with a friend so there’s still a bit more for us to sort out. Anyway,… Read More Tea Review: Haru-Midori by Okutomi-en (Sayama Tea #7)
