I found this book from the Articles of Interest series on American Ivy/Preppy style and immediately borrowed it because it sounds very cool. And I was pleased to find that while this book also talks about a lot of the events that the podcast does, it also goes into detail on subcultures not mentioned in… Read More Book Review: Ametora by W.

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 The post Book Review: At Bertram’s Hotel by Agatha Christie appeared first on Eustea Reads.| Eustea Reads
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 The post Maldives Honeymoon – Raaya by Atmosphere Part 2 appeared first on Eustea Reads.| Eustea Reads
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 The post Maldives Honeymoon – Our Experience with Raaya by Atmosphere appeared first on Eustea Reads.| Eustea Reads
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.

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| Eustea Reads
I’m not sure what happened last week but I was down with a sore throat and a bad cough (not covid!) for a few days and didn’t have time to write this post until now. But, the okuharuka cultivar is a very interesting one (albeit one I don’t know what much about) and I’m excited… Read More Tea 101: Okuharuka| Eustea Reads
Now that I’m back in my dorm working on my thesis, I have time to drink tea (or rather, drinking tea is how I take a break). I’ve also got, including this tea, three more Japanese cultivars to drink and I’m so excited about it! So here’s a tea that I’ve been looking forward to… Read More Tea 101: Fukumidori| Eustea Reads
Hello internet friends! I’ve been meaning to write this for a while but life has gotten really busy and I’m only now just starting.

This book is filed under: books that I procrastinated a really long time on. And I really have no excuse – I procrastinated on T Kingfisher’s Nettle and Bone for a while, only to discover that I really liked it, and then… didn’t pick up another book. Even though this book has a delightful title… Read More Book Review: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher The post Book Review: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher appeared first on Eustea Reads.| Eustea Reads
Hi friends, it’s been a while. I intended to at least blog weekly about what sencha I was drinking but life got very intense for a while and everything blog related went on pause. But, I was still drinking tea so I thought I would do one round up of the three teas that I’ve… Read More 3 More Pots of 2025 Sencha| Eustea Reads
I am back with another look into another green tea! My posts on the 2025 senchas are going to be rather short, so if you’re looking for a more detailed explanation of the hokumei cultivar, I recommend the intro post I did for it a couple of years back. The dry leaves had a nice… Read More My 2025 Experience with Hokumei The post My 2025 Experience with Hokumei appeared first on Eustea Reads.| Eustea Reads
Recently, I listened to a couple of podcast episodes about dragons, which I thought was interesting because none of these podcasts are dragon-specific. So I thought about sharing a small reading and podcast list for fun!

Head’s up: this review is by someone who really only knows the very bare basics of the French revolution. I’m basically heading into this as a newbie, and this is also why I found the book fascinating.

Recently, Krysta from Pages Unbound posted about whether it’s worth starting a book blog in 2025 and her points about community and freedom from the algorithm were two that resonated with me. As you know, I’ve been pretty much off social media and blogging, but over the many years I’ve been on the internet, I’ve… Read More Thoughts on Blogging, Instagram, Lemon8, Substack, and all that| Eustea Reads
