Thursday Tea Break: Issue 4
Welcome to this week’s installment of Thursday Tea Break!
This is a fun, weekly series covering our get-togethers, what we are up to that week, and what books we are excited to get our hands on.
Tea of the Week:
This week we tried Grapefruit Green tea from Octavia Teas! We felt it was a perfect choice for a sunny and warm early spring day. We threw the windows open and brewed up this juicy treat.
The tea was light and fresh with a hint of tart grapefruit, we would have preferred a stronger fruit flavor but it was deliciously refreshing nonetheless.

Project 52: Cover Love
A weekly book photography project, Bookish Scene: Project 52 is hosted by What Georgie Did & WordRevel. You can see their photos and more on their respective blogs.
This week’s theme was “Cover Love” so we picked A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab as our lovely book cover choice! On a novel filled with magic, princes, thieves, mayhem, and multiple Londons, the cover for AGOS is so simplistically perfect.
What covers do you love? Let us know in the comments!
Thursday Tea Break: Issue 3
Welcome to this week’s installment of Thursday Tea Break!
This is a fun, weekly series covering our get-togethers, what we are up to that week, and what books we are excited to get our hands on.
Tea of The Week
This week we tried a very special tea from Teavana; Peach Momotaro. This is a blooming tea that, while steeping, drifts around and “blooms” into a lovely flower of tea leaves and petals. This tea is a deliciously fruity green tea that made us think of sipping ice tea in rocking chairs on front porches during a lazy summer afternoon. The scent was absolutely divine (it smells like peach rings!) and Erin had this lovely glass pot so that we could watching the process as it steeped. Continue reading

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week the topic is “books that you’ve enjoyed in the last year(ish) that have been outside of your comfort zone or regular genre.” Unfortunately, our lists are lacking a bit. On the bright side, this made us realize that we need to break out a little bit and read some different books, which may lead to a new series of posts in the future! Continue reading
