TTT #424 | Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read

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 Bookish Wishes. However that’s not really a topic I’m feeling right now so I’ve decided to go with a topic from a couple of weeks ago; Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read. It’s a fun topic and I wanted to do it, so let’s dive in! Continue reading “TTT #424 | Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read” →

Down the TBR Hole #176

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Even though the amount of books on my want to read shelf stayed the same as last time, I did have a 100% removal percentage last week. So will I be able to do the same this week?

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!

These are all Heated Rivalry fanfics and I’m not ashamed to admit that haha. Let’s dive in! Continue reading “Bookish Item | Fanfiction” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Last King of Faerie – Cassandra Clare

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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 Last King of Faerie – Cassandra Clare” →

I actually removed a book from my Goodreads TBR since my Down the TBR Hole post last week. It’s not much of a difference, but it’s still progress!
