Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association – Caitlin Rozakis

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 Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association – Caitlin Rozakis” →

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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 books to read during a storm! I tend to either love dark atmospheric books or cozy and heartwarming books while it’s storming outside. Here are ten books I’ve been saving to read during a storm!

Show Sunday | First Impression: Dune: Prophecy

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As you might know, I love the Dune movies (and really need to continue reading the books). The TV show Dune: Prophecy was one of my most anticipated shows of the year, so when my brother called me to remind me the first episode dropped a couple of weeks ago, I immediately started watching it. And after the first couple of episodes are available to watch, I wanted to share my first impression of the show. So let’s jump in!

Review| Best Hex Ever – Nadia El-Fassi

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Even though I’m in full Christmas mood, I couldn’t resist reading this cozy book. Best Hex Ever is the type of book that leaves you feeling like you’ve received a warm hug. Today it’s time for me to tell you about this book and what I thought.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Dell for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This affects my opinion in no way at all!

WWW Wednesday #75

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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 #368 | Freebie

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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 a freebie. I always find it difficult to come up with a topic for freebies like this. After looking at some of the previous topics I decided to do a part 2 of Candyce’s destination titles post last month. Let’s see if I can come up with 10 books that have names of places as titles.
