For Ning, the only thing worse than losing her mother is knowing that it’s her own fault. She was the one who unknowingly brewed the poison tea that killed her—the poison tea that now threatens to also take her sister, Shu.
When Ning hears of a competition to find the kingdom’s greatest shennong-shi—masters of the ancient and magical art of tea-making—she travels to the imperial city to compete. The winner will receive a favor from the princess, which may be Ning’s only chance to save her sister’s life.
But between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger.
I also avoid TBRs these days – I swear that as SOON as I decide a plan for reading, those books are literally the last things my brain wants to read. Being a slave to mood reading suits me much better, which was hard for my Type A brain to get a handle on!
Six Rings sounds really interesting, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
Have fun with your tbr!
That’s usually what I do; 5books for 3months, when I could theoritically read 9+, so it allows me as a moodreader to go and get various other books while being able to get to those I picked 👍🏼

I love making super small goals like that because they’re so much easier to do. Like, no pressure. I think my last Goodreads challenge (in 2020? 2021?) was one book 😀 I read over 50. So, sometimes it’s nice to have very low reading expectations!
