Happy new year!! It occurred to me that I have not been doing my year in review (probably for two, maybe three years now?) and I wanted to just write a short post on January 1st to talk about how 2025 was for reading and this blog and what I plan to do in 2026.… Read More 2025 Blog in Review and 2026 Plans
What a year! I don’t think anyone expected the pandemic to last this long, but despite Delta and Omicron doing their best to make everything go back to early 2020, things still happened. One of the biggest things that happened is that I decided to do an MBA and moved to France to start it!… Read More 2021 Year in Review: Looking Back and Looking Forward
I didn’t think that I read a lot this year, because my reading time has gone down drastically since I started my MBA programme but as it turns out, 2021 was a great year for reading! I reviewed 160 books (and finished rereading The Tale of Genji – more on that later in the post),… Read More 2021 in Books: Favourites + Genji Project
As much as I love tea, it’s a bit hard for me to summarise an entire year in tea because I mostly write tea reviews and I don’t really keep track of my favourite teas like I do for books. Instead, I’ll just talk about three things that stood out this year: First, and most… Read More My Top 3 Tea Moments of 2021
So this was the least intimidating end-of-year post to write because I already did an update in June! And I actually don’t have that much to write for this because thanks to school, I’m more likely to stop a podcast than to start one – I don’t have as much time for podcasts nowadays! Allez-y!… Read More [2021] Year-End Podcast Update
Hello! It’s New Year’s Eve! 2020 has honestly been such a strange year that I was a bit scared about writing your post. I knew that I had keywords that I wanted to follow for this year, but I have no idea how well I’ve followed them. So I went to my Keywords for 2020… Read More Year in Review: Life as a Whole
We’ve covered podcast, we’ve covered books, now it’s time for tea! This post will be in three parts – my favourite posts, my favourite teas this year, and the last sipdown update of the year. As you probably know, I started really getting into teacups last year, but this post won’t have a teacup update… Read More 2020 Year in Review: Tea
So yesterday, we did podcasts. Today, we’ll talk about one of my favourite things to do: reading! I want this post to mainly be a celebration of my favourite books of this year, but before that, a few stats from Goodreads: Books read: 182 Longest Book: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (which I read for… Read More 2020 Year in Review: My Favourite Books
We’re coming to the end of the year, and as usual it feels weird to do the usual reviews/blog content, so I’ll be spending the next few days reflecting on the year and what I liked from the different things I consumed. First up is the podcast category and can I just say that it’s… Read More 2020 Year in Review: Podcasts (2020)
This is my last year-in-review post, and it’s going to be one of the hardest to write because there’s no list that I can refer to; I keep track of my favourite books + all my podcasts are in one app so those were relatively easy to organise. But, I’m very excited about writing this post… Read More 2018 in Tea
