Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is books set in X, so we get to choose. One of my favorite settings is a boarding school, so today I’m talking about ten books set in boarding schools that I want to read!

5 On My TBR | Picture

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my important reading goals of 2023 is shrinking my physical TBR. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books I still have or subjects I want to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.

This week’s topic is Picture. And that is a harder topic than it seems at first haha. Because what do they even mean with it? You could go so many ways I guess. To not make it impossible for myself I decided to go with books that have actual pictures in them, so prepare for 5 graphic novels and manga on my TBR. Let’s jump in!

Show Sunday | Loki Season 2

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As you might know, I’m a Marvel fan. And my favorite Marvel character by far is Loki. So of course I watched the Loki show on Disney+. This year we finally got the second season. And since I was hardly watching anything at all it took me a bit to get to it. But this past week I finished the show! And of course I wanted to share my thoughts. So let’s get into it!

Even though I’ve been in Christmas mode for a few weeks, now that Thanksgiving is over I’m in full on Christmas mode. We decorated our house yesterday (the tree will be up in a couple of weeks) and I’m watching and reading holiday themed things.

One of my most recent holiday related read was Wreck the Halls! Tessa Bailey has written a few books I’ve loved this year, so I was really excited about this romance. Keep on reading to find out more about the book and what I thought!

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Every year there’s a Goodreads Choice Awards and the first round recently started. I was surprised to see that I haven’t read many of the books nominated this year. A lot are on my TBR, so I’ve decided to talk about a couple of books from each category I read from I hope to pick up soon.

I’m not sure this will happen before the end of the year, but this is part of my Goodreads Choice Awards TBR. Keep on reading to find out what I’m hoping to read!

WWW Wednesday #51

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!

So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:

  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What are you currently reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?

TTT #316 | Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read Part 2

Published on by The Book Dutchesses8 Comments

We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is Reasons Why I’m Thankful for Books. I find these kind of topics really difficult and I’m sure there’s no way I’ll come up with 10 reasons. So I decided to do a part 2 of last weeks topic; Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read. I really like this topic and maybe it inspires me to pick up some books. To make that even more likely, I picked 10 authors I already have on my shelves. Let’s dive in!

This week’s topic is actually warriors, but I wasn’t feeling that this week. So I decided to go for last week’s topic: loss. Here are five books on my TBR about loss.
