Subscriber Interview - Joanne

This month’s interview is with Joanne from Hobart, who subscribes to the Classic/Tea parcel.

Describe your life in a sentence:

I persistently choose what I ought to do over what I want to do, recognising that reduces my total happiness quotient

What inspires and energises you?

A robust discussion with trusted friends

What 3 books would you take to a desert island?

Three books I haven't read, recommended by my daughters as good to read.

How do you drink your tea?

Depends on the tea - tea with milk or salt for the blends that are better with just hot water

Do you have a favourite NovelTea Book Club parcel so far?

I’ve enjoyed them all. When my sister in law gets her parcel we talk on the phone and she writes me a book review - which is excellent when I haven't had time to read the book.

Subscriber Interview - Jill

This month’s interview is with Jill from Sydney, who subscribes to the Classic/Tea parcel.

Describe your life in a sentence:

I enjoy living in Sydney's inner west with all its great foodie spots; I work for the federal government and go to a local church.

What’s your favourite way to relax and recharge?

Catching up with friends over a meal.

Which fictional character would you like to be friends with?

I'd love to be friends with Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice.

How do you drink your tea (or coffee)?

If I'm at home, lightly flavoured black teas with milk during the day, and herbal tea before bed. If I'm out, I'll drink a macchiato or skim latte, depending on the quality of the barista!

Do you have a favourite NovelTea Book Club parcel so far?

I'm a bit of a Francophile so I was thrilled to receive the parcel with 'My Year in Provence'.
