Review| Lies Between Us – Jessica Goodman

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

For some reason, I feel like summer calls for murder mysteries and thrillers. Especially when the book also takes place in the same season. That’s why Lies Between Us called out to me. Our setting is a town with waterfront mansions. Sounds like a great summer read! Today I want to tell you more about the book and what I thought!

A big thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

WWW Wednesday #116

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?

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 I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read. Candyce did a part 1 to this topic last week, you can read her post right here. I really like this topic and unfortunately I have way too many books for this one, so let’s jump in! Continue reading “TTT #430 | Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read Part 2” →

Down the TBR Hole #179

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I’m actually getting ahead with scheduling my posts, so I only actually did my last Down the TBR Hole post a few days ago, so nothing has changed on my want to read shelf.

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. This meme is now being hosted by Jody from I’m Into Books. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started!

Review | Mile High – Liz Tomforde

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I finally jumped on the bandwagon that is the Windy City series! Slowly I am turning into a romance girly and sport romances seem the ones for me. Since this is also getting an adaptation, I wanted to read the book beforehand this time around. This book gets very mixed reviews, I’ve seen 1 star hate reviews and 5 star best book ever reviews. Where do I fall with this book? Let’s jump in and take a look! Continue reading “Review | Mile High – Liz Tomforde” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Only Immortals – Laura Steven

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Only Immortals – Laura Steven” →
