Down the TBR Hole #182

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Today is our next try to get under 300 books on my want to read shelf. Even if I remove everything this week, we’ll still need one more post to get under 300. Let’s see how we do today!

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 | My Fall TBR

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

It’s almost fall and I love how the weather seems to be changing here in the Netherlands. We’ve had a lot of rain recently and it is slowly getting darker earlier and earlier. I’m very much ready for fall, with my cosy sweaters, candles and blankets. A monthly TBR never works for me, but maybe a seasonal one will. I will focus on books I already own, but I will also be reading some new releases ;). Let’s jump in! Continue reading “Bookish Item | My Fall TBR” →

Review| The Swan’s Daughter – Roshani Chokshi

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

The Swan’s Daughter is a book that caught me eye because of the synopsis, but also the author. Roshani Chokshi has a beautiful writing style and I’ll never say no to one of her stories. Today I want to tell you all about this book and what I thought.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for providing me with an ALC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.
