TTT #292 | Book Covers That Feel Like Summer Part 2

Published on 06/06/202305/06/2023 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 or Covers that Feel/Look Like Summer. Candyce did this topic last week as well so I’m doing a part 2 this week. I’m not really a contemporary or romance reader and usually those are the books that have summer covers so it’ll interesting to see if I have any on my shelves. Let’s take a look!

At times it’s a good motivation and a good reminder about the books we need to read. Today we’re taking a look at our May 2022 bookhaul. Keep on reading to see how we did!

Down the TBR Hole #103

Published on 04/06/202304/06/2023 by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Since my last Down the TBR Hole I read a book off my want to read list and I haven’t added any new ones. So my goal to make sure this want to read shelf shrinks has been going well.

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. 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!

I’ve been reading a lot of romance lately, but I’ve been in the mood for fantasy as well. The Alchemy of Moonlight sounds like a great book to dive back into this genre. So I’m excited that I have an author interview for my tour stop hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. Keep on reading to find out more about this book and author!

Review | The Assassin’s Blade – Sarah J. Maas

Published on 03/06/202303/06/2023 by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

The next book in my Throne of Glass series reread! After reading the first three books in the series, it’s time for the bind up of the prequel novellas. These stories are pretty important and provide you with some much needed backstory. I personally think reading The Assassin’s Blade in between Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows is the perfect way to do it but there are different opinions for sure! Let’s take a look of what I thought of every different story.

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Vampires of El Norte – Isabel Cañas

Published on 31/05/202329/05/2023 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 Bre aking the Spine. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | Vampires of El Norte – Isabel Cañas” →
