I’m just beginning to get into pourover coffee and this is the first coffee that i’ve gotten good with.
I thought i knew what coffee tastes like, and then i tried light roast pourover coffee and it’s a whole different thing altogether.
I found this coffee to be a delightful blast of complex flavours on the taste buds. Really enjoyed it and will be buying another bag quite soon.
You can read all about it and buy a bag at Coffeeworks.
I got a little bit worried at first, like Ruth had written a book for teenagers, but the story slowly gets going and more grown up as we get into it.
While i enjoyed reading it, i don’t think it’s as good as previous books. I just didn’t connect with the characters as much. That might be down to me not being very well at the moment — i’m at home recovering from a rather serious time in hospital — and i’m finding a lot of things hard to focus my mind and thoughts on at the moment.
That said, i am looking forward to reading Ruth’s next book, The Light a Candle Society, which i think i will leave until i’m feeling a bit more myself.
Yes, i went back and re-read this in 2005. Sadly, it really didn’t give one the thrill ride of something new and exciting that i got on the first read. Once you know the story, and how things turn out, it does diminish it somewhat.
Don’t get me wrong, it was still a good read, but nothing like it was the first time around.
I won’t be re-reading the other two books in the trilogy at this time as i didn’t enjoy them as much the first time around, so i don’t think they’ll have aged as well for a re-read at this time. Maybe in 20 years or so i’ll give the whole trilogy another run through, but i do think i need to well and truly forget most of it first to enjoy it fully on a re-read.
