Tag| Try a Chapter Netgalley Edition Part 6

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Isabelle has done the try a chapter book tag a few times and recently decided to do this with older Netgalley galleys. We started the blog almost 6 years ago and Netgalley was a big rabbit hole when we discovered it.

After a few years, I’m not sure some of these books will be for me anymore, so let’s do a try a chapter tag to see if the first chapters makes me want to read more. I’m trying to increase my ratio and also give books a chance, so this seemed the best way to do it. Let’s take a look at the three books I chose for this week!

WWW Wednesday #35

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

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?

Published on by The Book Dutchesses11 Comments

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 Titles with Animals In Them. There was literally none that came to mind haha, so off to Goodreads it is. Let’s see if I can find 10 books on my TBR. Otherwise I’ll also add ones I’ve already read. Here we go! Continue reading “TTT #284 | Titles with Animals In Them” →

5 On My TBR| Titles Starting with a ‘D’

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

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 titles starting with a ‘D’. This is going to be one I have to think about. None are really popping up when I first think about. I’m sure that will change, so take a look at five books on my TBR that start with a ‘D’.

Down the TBR Hole #99

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

Again, I’m setting up this Down the TBR Hole post pretty soon after the previous one. So nothing has changed about my want to read shelf. I’m hoping to shrink my shelf a bit by doing these posts back to back!

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!
