Welcome to Sister Reads! Vernell and I are joining forces this year to talk about what is probably our very favourite thing, yes even more loved than crafting: books! Growing up books were everywhere over our home. Our mum is an English teacher, and so we had shelves filled with […]
Today we welcome Deirdre from Brown Girl Reading for a post about one of our favourite things: books! Deirdre is an avid reader, book reviewer and YouTuber. We “met” a few years ago during a blog hop for expatriates living in France, and bonded over our common stories and love […]
Please be aware that this post is very tongue-in-cheek. I’m not usually a fan of book lists like this, since I don’t think that what we read should be determined by our gender. But because it’s the International Day of Women, I thought it would be a good idea to […]

Hello! Welcome to my new digs! I’m so happy today to finally unveil the new Callaloo Soup. And almost 9 years to the day that I started blogging too! When I made the move over to WordPress, I made one major change. I split my old blog into two sections […]
