Down the TBR Hole #142

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s been over a month, but it’s time for my first Down the TBR Hole of 2025! Last year I made it to 600 books on my want to read shelf, so hopefully I can decrease this a lot more this year.

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!

Bookish Item| Goodreads Choice Awards 2024 – Fiction

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

At the end of the year I didn’t really have time to take a close look at the Goodreads Choice Awards. That being said, when I did take a little look, I was surprised that I had barely read any of the nominees. So this year, I want to look at the different genres and make a little TBR and read some of these books.

Today I’m starting with fiction. Let’s take a look at the books I’m curious about and hope to read soon.

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Great Orchid Heist – Eleanor Vendrell

Published on by The Book Dutchesses3 Comments

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 Great Orchid Heist – Eleanor Vendrell” →
