May marks Asian Pacific month, which is why I’m thrilled to share this book with you today! Growing up, I’ve been surrounded by coffee drinkers, except for my uncle, who has a deep love for tea. I remember his earthen teapots, tea trays, round, stacked, disks of tea leaves, and how he sits at his… Read More REVIEW: Luli and the Language of Tea
Somewhere during the early few months of the year, I’ve been caught in the claws of the love bug and have been reading a ton of romances. While I haven’t been reviewing them here, they will make their appearances very soon. Here’s the first of many. LOVE FROM SCRATCH Genre: Young Adult RomancePublishing Date: April… Read More ARC REVIEW: Love From Scratch
Prior to the pandemic, I often visited art galleries. It’s definitely the thing I missed the most now that quite a few of my favourite ones have permanently or temporarily closed down. This collection mimics the feeling of it though. The author, Galatea, is a photographer who uses her pictures in the collection. Read more… Read More REVIEW: Rebirth
Today I take a break from fantasising my dream home to reading about others’ homes. You know about my love for art and books, and now, I’ve found this gem that includes my third interest, interior design. While it’s less about the design, but more about the artists’ life, this one is still a fairly… Read More ARC Review: Artist in Residence

I was very surprised to see… Read More REVIEW: All the Lovers in the Night
I’ve spent more time reading books that I am genuinely interested in and I’m having such a great time.

Of course, there will… Read More REVIEW: Layout Essentials Revised and Updated:100 Design Principles for Using Grids
This isn’t the first book I’ve DNF-ed this year, but it’s definitely the first one from my DNF list to make it on the blog. While it wasn’t my personal taste, I think some people would enjoy it, so why not share it with you guys?

Although I don’t often read middle-grade novels, I like reading different genres so all the books don’t blur into one. Lately, I’ve been reading so many art and design books (that I will review in the future), so for now, I want to kick back and relax with some light-hearted novels about friendship.
