The Tea Dragon Society Review

Posted on June 11, 2018

Tea and Dragons, seriously? This book was one of those that I just had to have and I treated myself to it for this payday.

The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O’Neill

From the award-winning author of Princess Princess Ever After comes The Tea Dragon Society, a charming all-ages book that follows the story of Greta, a blacksmith apprentice, and the people she meets as she becomes entwined in the enchanting world of tea dragons.

After discovering a lost tea dragon in the marketplace, Greta learns about the dying art form of tea dragon care-taking from the kind tea shop owners, Hesekiel and Erik. As she befriends them and their shy ward, Minette, Greta sees how the craft enriches their lives—and eventually her own.

Rating:

Let’s start by saying that the illustrations are gorgeous and the characters are interesting (some human some not, very aesthetic either way and so cute). The story starts with Greta learning her mum’s trade, blacksmithing and doing her best to keep it and learn it so it isn’t forgotten (because people have quicker better ways to do things now).

Also the dragons are really cute, I want one of every kind (plus, tea is awesome and I’d love to have tea dragon tea). There’s a little appendix at the end which explains how to take care of a tea dragon and the different varieties.

All in all highly recommended cute graphic novel with a sweet look and lovely artwork. Plus, yes, I love tea!

Moon Recommends

The Tea Dragon Society or The Princess and The Pony are super cute graphic novels.

Book Review

The Princess and The Pony Review

Posted on February 13, 2018

I blame this review on Helen from Watching Sparks.

The Princess and The Pony by Kate Beaton

Princess Pinecone knows exactly what she wants for her birthday this year. A BIG horse. A STRONG horse. A horse fit for a WARRIOR PRINCESS! But when the day arrives, she doesn’t quite get the horse of her dreams…

Rating:

Absolutely adorable and cute! The pony is adorable and so round and lovely and it is a funny little illustrated book that just gives you a massive smile.

Mine arrived on a Monday where I was worrying a lot and it was a very Monday-Monday so it was the perfect thing to read, also it took like 5 minutes to read. Seriously, go read this. Make sure it arrives on a Monday to give it extra pow!

Grab your copy of The Princess and the Pony, then maybe If you give a mouse a cookie.

Subscription Boxes

September YumeTwins Unboxing

Posted on September 30, 2017

After a lot of umming and erring, I decided to stop my subscription to YumeTwins. So this is the last box I will unbox from them (until a specific theme/item changes my mind and I do a one-off box).

My reasons to stop are relatively simple. I do not get the most out of the items sent. It is not that they aren’t good items or good value, but rather that they don’t fit in my lifestyle at the moment and as much as I find them cute and find smiles in them, they are gathering more dust than being used (in all fairness, out of each box one or two items have been quite useful and are being used happily at home).

Starting from the box and going clockwise:

A Cinnamoroll bag. It is really cute and Cinnamoroll is one of my favourite Sanrio characters (along Twin Stars). Sadly this is one of those items that won’t get used much.
Studio Ghibli chopsticks. They are gorgeous and are currently in my kitchen, but we rarely ever have food that requires chopsticks so they are still waiting to be used.
A prtable comb with Rilakkuma. It is very pink and sadly, because of having curly hair I only use a wooden comb so not keeping it despite the cuteness.
A cute plush toy. This is the one item I wanted and you had 4 different versions of it. I really wanted this specific version so when I unboxed it and saw it was the one I wanted I was so excited and squealed in delight. This cutie is now my bed companion and brings me buckets of joy.
Under the foxy plush is the box for a wristwatch (somehow I wasn’t very good on taking unboxing pics this time, in my defense I was too excited) which is nice but not my style so not keeping it.

As you can see it was a cute box and quite lovely, but sadly it just doesnt match me very well (though I was absolutely delirious about gettign what I wanted).

If you like cute things I’d definitely recommend trying it out.
