So, I've finally started reading Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris by Graham Robb and it's surprisingly good. It's a historical novel told in snippets of interesting stories and I didn't expect to eat it up so quickly. I'd recommend it to those that have been hesitant to start histories.
In other news, I had my graduation dinner where my lovely voice teacher of four years, Mrs.McDaniel, gifted me with a new book. :)

So, my recent tea obsession has come in the form of tealeaves.com. I became introduced to their website shorty after I bought myself the St. Regis Hotel tea blend. Their tea is high quality and quite good. The specialty/custom teas are my favorite and I'm hoping to find a job soon, so that I can buy several. Price wise, yes, they're a bit pricey. A simple looseleaf tea for 50 cups costs $22.50. However, the quality and taste definitely make up for it.
Then, there's the fandom tea. On Adagio Teas, areyoutryingtodeduceme has a selection of tea based on fandoms. There's Sherlock, Doctor Who, Hunger Games, etc. A little less than five minutes ago, I was tempted to buy one and I did. I got the "Reichenbach Recovery" (Only time will heal your broken heart. Maybe this tea will at least bring a little comfort until Sherlock reappears. ) which is made from Earl Grey Bravo, hazelnut, and caramel. I can't wait until it comes in. :) I think a review is due when it does.
Crap, forgot my tea and it's been steeping for the past 20 minutes. Anyway, until next time!
