I did another video after this IG story showing the "creamy", ooey, goodness of these ahmayzing @treat.dreams creme eggs. Buuut for some reason it couldn't be posted AND the draft got deleted! 😭 And of course I ate it all up so couldn't do a take 2. 😜🐽 Anyway, suffice to say, these are vegan, bought packaging-free from @thesourcevicpark and sooooo yummmaayy! Made breaking my Lenten sugar fast so worth it. Lucky I only bought 3, one for each of 👨‍👩‍👧 Blessed Easter IG buddies! ➕ = ❤

Helen Oyeyemi's "Boy, Snow, Bird" was moderately disappointing and frustrating. I say that because there are worse books. It starts off fairly promising and Boy seems to be shaping up nicely. Once Bird is born, however, the first crack appears. Then it just goes downhill from there. Things are introduced and not gone back to or resolved; the plot limps along and flops completely at the end; the characters are not developed properly; and the ending is atrocious. The blurb is totally misleading and the meagre bits of magical realism are like sparks fizzling out in a lake of confused themes and pointless story arcs. One of the things I hate the most in books is for something to be introduced that seems to be important, only to be completely ignored after. Barely scrapes 3⭐ only because the writing is quite lyrical.

Ok so it's really awkward and hard to do reading selfies in public. How does everyone else do it? Do you have sidekicks? Or are we all using selfie-sticks shamelessly? Anyway, this is a rare one because the place is empty and I thought the light was pretty flattering 😁 😎 Finally got to visit @looseproduce after their move. Still sad they're not in my hood but the new digs are awesome. Shall have to work in more regular visits. #readingtime #metime💕 #booksandcoffee

Happy Palm Sunday! Had a great, lazy but filled start to the school holidays. "The Way Of All Flesh" is a great Victorian crime thriller with that old-fashioned writing style that's still gripping and fast-paced. Parry has enough scientific detail to make it interesting but not too much that you want to skip it. I like the characters too, though the villain and Dr Simpson are wee bit typical. The chemistry between Raven and Sarah is just enough to flavor the plot without overwhelming it. I also love how he dealt with the villain at the end. The only thing that niggles is the mystery of Dr Simpson! Or maybe I missed it. Can anyone tell me who he was paying and why? 4⭐
