After my really good experience with Moominpapa at Sea, I decided to borrow another Moomin book when I went to the library. This time, I selected Moominland Midwinter, completely randomly. In Moominland Midwinter, Moomintroll wakes up midway through the winter hibernation only to find that he can’t go back to sleep! Awake and a little… Read More Book Review: Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson
It’s another book from my book club!! I actually missed the previous book club pick (Atmosphere, I’m guessing most people will know the author since it’s a new release?) so I was determined to read this one. And even though I went into this book cold, like didn’t even read the synopsis cold, I found… Read More Book Review: The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam Jenoff
Hello friends! It’s a two-in-one post today because I went for the Paddington Bear-themed tea at Skai and of course, I had to read the book before I went. Afternoon Tea Review I first went to Skai in 2020 (apparently also for my birthday) and my friend and I enjoyed it so much that we… Read More Paddington Bear Afternoon Tea @ Skai & Book Review
I’ve had my eye on The Kamogawa Food Detectives for a while because it seems like the cosy, heartwarming genre of Japanese fiction I like – books like What You’re Looking For is in the Library and There’s No Such Thing as an Easy Job come to mind as similar titles. And if you’ve read… Read More Book Review: The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai
It’s been a very long time since I read Agatha Christie (reread or not) so I was pretty excited to run across At Bertram’s Hotel while at the library. It’s a Miss Marple mystery, which I generally am not as familiar with, but I’m slowly overcoming my previous reluctance to read her books. At Bertram’s… Read More Book Review: At Bertram’s Hotel by Agatha Christie
Hello Friends! So…. I spent a little longer than expected just talking about the introductory parts about Raaya, so I figured I need a post just to talk about our experience there. Honestly, we had a pretty good time overall, but for clarity’s sake, I thought I’d break this post into different sections as well.… Read More Maldives Honeymoon – Raaya by Atmosphere Part 2
Welcome back! In my last post, I talked about why my husband and I chose Maldives for our honeymoon and about our transit hotel. And now… the part that I’m really excited about, talking about Raaya by Atmosphere! Why Raaya by Atmosphere? We chose Raaya because it fit our needs with regards to inclusions and… Read More Maldives Honeymoon – Our Experience with Raaya by Atmosphere
Hello friends! I am excited to bring you this three-parter on our Maldives honeymoon, mostly because I’ve not done a travel post in ages and I am excited to be doing it again! To be honest, Maldives was not on our radar at first! Actually, I don’t think we had any firm honeymoon desires, except… Read More Maldives Honeymoon – Why Maldives & Our First Night!
As I mentioned in my post about dragon book and podcast recommendations, I wanted to read The Penguin Book of Dragons. It’s not that commonly available, but I had a free afternoon so I went to the library to get this book and a few others. The Penguin Book of Dragons collects texts about dragons… Read More Book Review: The Penguin Book of Dragons edited by Scott G. Bruce
Hello friends! After posting my update, I pretty much disappeared and basically, after a great honeymoon, I came back and immediately plunged into work – we are adopting new ERP software so that has pretty much consumed my waking hours. But I had a great trip and managed to read lots of books, so now… Read More Book Review: Dress Codes by Richard Thompson Ford
