5 On My TBR | Title Starting with a ‘U’

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my important reading goals of 2023 is shrinking my physical TBR. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books I still have or subjects I want to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.

This week’s topic is Title Starting with a ‘U’. There aren’t any books that come to mind right away so I’ll have to take a look at my shelves to find them. Do I own 5 book with ‘U’ titles? Let’s take a look! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Title Starting with a ‘U’” →

Review| This Might Get Awkward – Kara McDowell

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

One of the fun things about my Down to the TBR Hole posts is that I see books again that I haven’t thought about in awhile. That was the case with This Might Get Awkward. It was one of the books in my last Down the TBR Hole post. I saw the audiobook was on Scribd, so I listened to this one during my commute to work this past week. Keep on reading to see what the book is about and what I thought!

WWW Wednesday #42

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?

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 Characters from Different Books Who Should Team Up. I love topics like this, but I also find them very difficult. Let’s see if I can come up with 10! Continue reading “TTT #302 | Characters from Different Books Who Should Team Up” →

5 On My TBR | Novellas

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my important reading goals of 2023 is shrinking my physical TBR. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books I still have or subjects I want to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.

This week’s topic is novellas. I’m normally not a big fan of short stories. They tend to be really hit or miss for me and I mostly stick to ones that belong to a series I’m loving. I do have a few on my TBR though, including a few anthologies.
