I can’t quite remember how this book got onto my TBR list but I’m always down for some history (especially on subjects I never thought of before) so I borrowed A Place for Everything and started reading. If I was smarter/more hardworking, I would be writing this review in a way that the first letter… Read More Book Review: A Place for Everything by Judith Flanders
What do your clothes say about you? Do you even think that your clothes can say something? While I’m admittedly not a fashionista, I was intrigued by Dress Code, which had this promising subtitle: “unlocking fashion from new look to millenial pink.” Divided into four parts, Dress Code covers: The first part of the book,… Read More Book Review: Dress Code by Véronique Hyland
As I may have mentioned before, I am more willing to take chances on unknown books when it’s cheap. So like with Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes, I bought Jambusters based on its cover (and also its synopsis, which is one more piece of information compared to the former). And the similarities do not stop… Read More Book Review: Jambusters by Julie Summers
I borrowed and read this book around the time the 2023 World Chess Championships were held and felt quite proud to be such a topical reader for once! Even though I’ve never heard of the Lewis chessmen before this book, I was intrigued by the subtitle: “The mystery of the most famous chessmen in the… Read More Book Review: Ivory Vikings by Nancy Marie Brown
Confession: I did not actually know what this book about when I was bought it. I just knew that it was discounted and the cover made it seem rather quirky. I may have missed the part that stated “the story of women in the 1950s”. It was only when I started reading it that I… Read More Book Review: Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes by Virginia Nicholson
I have never followed the Duggars but when I heard about this book where Jinger Vuolo talks about leaving Bill Gothard’s IBLP (Institute for Basic Life Principles), I was intrigued. I have heard about Gothard’s IBLP, his predatory and probably sexually abusive relationships with the “Gothard Girls”, and I hoped that this book would expose… Read More Book Review: Becoming Free Indeed by Jinger Vuolo
Writing my review for She Deserves Better made me realise that I never wrote a review for The Great Sex Rescue – probably because I was too busy talking about it to all the people in Church. So I decided to reread The Great Sex Rescue and write a review. If you’re a Christian (or… Read More Book Review: The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Gregoire, Rebecca Lindenbach, and Joanna Sawatsky
Reading Afternoon Tea: A History reminded me that I had The Hungry Empire on my TBR list (found this book via Skye Soon’s review, if you want to have another, detailed opinion about it!). Very much like Afternon Tea, The Hungry Empire focuses on how the British Empire was influenced by, or influenced the food… Read More Book Review: The Hungry Empire by Lizzie Collingham
I was at my sister’s looking through her bookshelves when I saw this book. I just happened to finish all physical TBR books and therefore had no qualms when I saw this. Instead, I thought “a book the size of a brick looks like the kind of book I want to read.” Millennium is an… Read More Book Review: Millennium by Tom Holland
As I started writing this review, it occurred to me that I never reviewed the first book by these three women! I definitely read and really enjoyed The Great Sex Rescue (enough to pre-order this book) but for all the real-life talking I did about the book and how it exposes the faulty marriage advice… Read More Book Review: She Deserves Better by Sheila Gregoire, Joanna Sawatsky, and Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach
