Inspired by #teasky and my first gaiwan on the way, I went through my storage for teapots and cups that might be usable.... I found stuff I'd forgotten I'd had. The red dragon pot and blue floral both have unglazed interiors, so I probably won't be using them for tea, but they're still cool.

Worth the hype. It's a comedic and dystopian and yet you can't help rooting for Carl and Princess Donut (cat).
The adult humour takes the edge off an otherwise completely horrific experience that includes acid spitting drug dealing llamas and roid-rage gym bros.

I get the hype around the last unicorn now. I've not read it yet, but it's on my list. This was a fun fairytale-type story that isn't afraid to poke some fun at conventions while also telling a novel story.
We've got a peasant boy, a prince, and a princess, all of whom don't quite fit in

Got some white2tea 2022 double smoke anhua fuzhan going grandpa style and it's like someone gently wafted smoke by old book pages? Some of the more mineral tea seems to give me old paper vibes, which isn't a bad thing.
I do grandpa style most days, but I've got a gaiwan coming, so that'll be fun.

Down to the wire on this one, but I finished it before my loan was up. It's a short story anthology and I occasionally felt like I was missing things because I might not have read the book/series it tied into (reefs??). Even then it was enjoyable and weird and speculative.

This gets a rating of omnomnom because it's very good. Asil is a favorite of mine from the other series that this is a stand alone spinoff of and this does not disappoint. He's both a very scary werewolf and a chivalrous gentleman who's been given a series of blind dates....

A kong-type ball with carrots, especially the ones with the flat sides, kept ours busy when she went through that stage. She had to do obedience type tricks (sit, down, stay, on, off, etc) to get it. She doesn't need as many to keep her busy now, but she still gets kongs with treats at night.

📚🪐Pretty sure this was a scifi feed rec. And after a handful of characters that aren't as smart as they think they are, Bob is a refreshingly intelligent nerd with horrible people skills and a job at an agency that doesn't officially exist doing IT work.

Based on the note in the beginning, I believe this is at least loosely based on the 3 musketeers... Which I have somehow escaped consuming in any form, so I'm afraid I can't comment on that aspect.
It is, however, a wonderful story on its own merits with a big mystery.

First off, love the content warnings (see second image). Second, what a lovely nail biting wrap up to this series that is surprisingly spicy. It is not surprisingly queer, but rather delightfully so.
If you've not read the series, think of it as a twist on sleeping beauty...

Choui Fung's Ryan Zhi oolong from Chang Rai, Thailand. Award winning oolong that I have a huge thing of and complicated emotions about :p
Light honey and floral fragrance and flavor. May have had more nuance if I'd opened it sooner (the bag is dated 2020).

🪐📚 If you're familiar with Bishop's work, this is fairly similar in tone to her Others series. If you're not, this is a dark fairytale with all that entails, but there is also a keen sense of justice under the surface.
As her writing is frequently dark, check the content warnings for Bishop's work

Slowly working my way through all the smoked samples I got from w2t.
Laocong Lapsun isn't super smoke forward, despite being stored with a bunch of v smokey teas.
It's really hard for me to describe the flavor, but maybe a light cinnamon and friut. It's pleasant, but hard to describe.

A trickster doing as tricksters do gifts a peach of immortality to a kind young woman. Centuries unfold before her with great good and great evil and the trickster is always there at the edges.
I'd hesitate to call this a romance, although there are elements of it that slowly unfold.

Glad I tried this spinoff novella/short of the Pac Arcana series because it got me interested in the first book again. Pretty sure I didn't finish it last time because it's got some pretty nasty bits (read the trigger warnings on these ones). I always enjoy a take on the hidden supernatural

This is such a lovely and thoughtful introduction to bread making as well as a wonderful recipe book for more experienced bakers.

This one took me a bit to finish, but the main character is really anxious (which is reasonable) and was making me anxious so I was mincing my way through.
Technically third in the series, but you could probably read it as a standalone and not be too confused.

Crocheter here - It sort of depends on the pattern IMHO. I've done one that has more shaping and looks more like a traditional cardigan (sea salt top, cardigan variation, wip). And one that's lacy and a bit oversized that's more drapey (viola cardigan)

Like this ⬇️, sometimes writing out descriptions is hard. You can move your index finger up and down or pinch with the thumb on your palm to control how taught the yarn is. Amigurumi requires a fairly tight tension, which can take time to learn how to do.
