    Drink #2: ‘the monster’s match’ | Frankenstein

    The second drink of my thirty day book as a bev series is a strawberry matcha with coconut cold foam inspired by Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Another classic!

    Drink #1: ‘the bird’s bancha’ | To Kill a Mockingbird

    The perfectionist in me would have ideally loved to have a new post each day of October, but alas, here I am already 42 minutes after midnight. Not off to the best start, but at least it’s a start! The first drink of my thirty day book as a bev series is a black sesame… Continue reading

    Weekly Progress #6

    Weekly Progress #6

    09/22 – 09/28 This week’s progress post is an abundance of zeros. Absolutely heinous work on my part. And since I don’t include these little update posts in my word and blog post count – the lack of productivity from me this week is especially glaring. On the bright side, I did get a bit… Continue reading

    Spoiler-free Book Review: The Only One Left

    ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐  So I finally finished my first read of September this past weekend, and it was The Only One Left by Riley Sager.  The novel took me a bit longer to finish than I expected, perhaps it was because I was coming out of a book slump, or perhaps it was because I had some… Continue reading
