Two Dutchies blogging about books, tv shows and the fangirl life
I haven’t lived in the States for quite some time, but my family and I still have a small Thanksgiving celebration. It’s something I grew up with and plan on keeping this tradition going. So I decided to do something holiday related on the blog today with The Bookish Thanksgiving Tag!
This tag was originally created by Erin & Becca on YouTube. Let’s take a look at the prompts for this tag.
We keep saying this, but this year really is flying by. A lot of amazing books have been published this year and it’s time to see what we’ll be getting the last month of 2020. December is normally a slower month, but we want to talk about the books we’re excited about. So keep on reading for our Anticipated December releases.

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 Thanksgiving Freebie, an I’m Thankful for… topic. And I choose I’m Thankful for Representation! I want to highlight some great diverse reads. We all know representation is important and we have a long way to go. These are all books with some kind of representation that I really enjoyed. So let’s jump in!

A couple of months ago, I read Well Met and it was a fast and fun read. Even though I did want a bit more romance. The sequel, Well Played, released at the end of September and it was the October swoonalong read! Today I’m going to talk about what I thought of this book!
We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too! Continue reading “Royal Update #50”
Again, I’m writing my next Down the TBR Hole pretty close to my previous one. So, I don’t expect any wild changes, but I hope to get my want to read list on Goodreads to start shrinking!
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. 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!
Every month I get the Tor.com newsletter and with that comes a free ebook. Last month that was The Haunting of Tram Car 015. That title immediately grabbed my attention, probably because 015 is my area code, and I looked the story up on Goodreads. I found out this novella was the second in a series and that the first short story was for free on Tor.com as well. So I decided to read both as soon as possible. And I’m so happy I did! So today I have a mini review for both stories. Let’s jump in. Continue reading “Mini Reviews | A Dead Djinn in Cairo & The Haunting of Tram Car 015 – P. Djèlí Clark”
Today I’m back with another book tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. Like I’ve said a lot lately, I’ve really been loving middle grade books. The Boy, the Wolf and the Stars sounded like another fun adventure and it has a stunning cover!
A big thanks to the publisher for providing me with an e-arc to read and review.

I can’t believe I’m already thinking about what I want to read the last month of this year! In many ways 2020 has flown by, but it’s also gone by incredibly slow. Hopefully 2021 turns out to be an amazing for everyone! But first let’s talk about what I want to read next month in my December TBR!
It’s Thursday so that means it’s time for another book tag! I was looking for a fun book tag to do while I was watching Sims 4 youtube video’s and that’s when I found the Sims Book Tag. Seems like a very appropriate tag for me to do since I’ve been playing a lot of Sims again haha. This tag was created by one of my favorite booktubers; Hailey in Bookland. I’m super excited so let’s jump right in! Continue reading “Tag | The Sims Book Tag”
