Down the TBR Hole #134

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Since my last Down the TBR Hole post, I’ve read one book from my want to read shelf. It’s not a lot, but it’s something!

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| Series Slaying September

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I only work a total of four days in September, and I’ve been trying to think of a reading challenge for myself. Last year I did 30 books in 30 days. I was thinking about that again, but I’ve already accomplished that a few times on my own this year.

If you’ve read my TBRs, you know I host a series slayers read with a friend, and finishing series is always a goal for me. So I’ve decided to also try and do more of this during my time off. So I’ll be trying to slay some series in September.

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Sunrise on the Reaping – Suzanne Collins

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 | Sunrise on the Reaping – Suzanne Collins” →

This week’s topic is Books Involving Food. There are a few I can think of on my TBR, but I’m not sure I’ll make the complete ten for this week’s post. Let’s take a look!

If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll know I’m a big fan of holiday reads. I started a little early this year, and did some Christmas in July reading.

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