Mid Week Quote

Happy Wednesday

The following quote appealed to me because I really do not like newspapers. I find them extremely biased and you have to spend most of your time reading between the lines to get to the truth.

“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them.”

Thomas Jefferson

The above quote was part of Jefferson’s reply from the White House to the future editor of the Baltimore Whig’s.

“Truly, I think I should go mad if it weren’t for music.”

Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky

A sentiment I completely agree with. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Mid Week Quote

So this week my friend and I have been thinking of random acts of kindness, so I decided on an appropriate quote.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

Aesop

Aesop (c. 620-564 BC) was a Greek storyteller credited with a number of fables now known as Aesop’s Fables. His existence remains unclear and none of his work actually still exists. However many tales thought to be by him have been collected over the centuries, in many languages and passed down from generation to generation.

Happy Wednesday!

This little quote from Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes I definitely agree with, especially now half term is over and I am back to early starts.

“Blessed be he that invented sleep.”

May your week be filled full of good books.

The picture is of Coco during my wedding, she was my chief bridesmaid but found the speeches a bit too much for her and so took a little nap.

What is everyone reading this week?

Today’s quote is from The Compleat Gentleman by Henry Peacham.

The book was written as a guide for young men of the period to become well-rounded, couteous members of society. It was full of practical advice on how to travel, what to read and much more.

“The desire to have many books, and never to use them, is like a child that will have a candle burning by him all the while he is sleeping.”

A Tiny Book Review for a Tiny Book: The Book Lover’s Guide to Tea (Review)

The Book Lover’s Guide to Tea

This is a tiny review for a tiny book. This book was in the box with the book tea infuser I blogged about here.

Firstly, it is possibly one of the cutest books I have ever read, being only 7.5cm tall and 6.5cm wide, it is tiny but surprisingly it is 47 pages long.

Secondly, it all about tea and I love tea. It has some excellent tea and book related quotes in it and the best part is it has some recipes for the perfect accoutrements to afternoon tea. I plan on trying out the recipe for the cookies and lemon squares as they look easy to make and yummy, and it also tells you which tea will go best with the said recipes.

Thirdly, it also tells you how to make the perfect cup of tea with the book tea infuser and gives you timings for the different types of tea.

A perfect little book that took a matter of minutes to read but was an interesting read to enjoy with a cup of tea. I gave this little book 5 Dragons out of 5 and I hope the recipes turn out to be a success, I will keep you posted.

Happy tea drinking and reading.

Good Morning!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far and getting lots of reading done. My chosen quote this week is by the great Oscar Wilde. He is a favourite of mine so I thought it was high time I chose one of his wonderful quotes.
