"The Distant Hours," by Kate Morton,is a spellbinding book about books - my favourite genre. It is a homage to the classics of gothic fiction, spinning a rich and intircate web of mystery, suspense, and lost love.

Hi, I'm Monika, the creator behind My Virtual Cup of Tea. I established this blog to share my personal journey and gain fresh insights as I delve into subjects close to my heart. My foremost passion revolves around books and the art of reading, while my ultimate aspiration is to promote healthy habits for my loved ones and myself.
I like to read; it relaxes me. Reading can be a form of escapism. Getting lost in a good book can reduce stress and help you relax by temporarily taking you away from the worries and pressures of everyday life.
Reading to children gives you that special time with your kid.
Reading introduces you to new ideas, concepts, and information, broadening your knowledge base.
Yoga changes your energy. When I started practising Yoga in every day life, I felt energised and overall calmer and focused. Yoga incorporates mindfulness and deep breathing techniques to help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. It also lowers the levels of stress hormones in the body. It makes me feel good, and I want to share it with you.
Both reading and Yoga offer numerous physical and mental health benefits, making them valuable practices for personal growth and well-being.
Take a cup of tea or coffee, find a cosy place and follow me.
