Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! I hope you have a couple of great days, filled with family, love, good food and overall goodness. We’re trying to take it easy this year and just enjoy time together as a family. But that does mean there’s some time to watch some movies or shows together. So I wanted to share what I would want to watch during Christmas, and what I may actually be watching when you’re reading this haha. Let’s jump in!

We’re a few days away from Christmas, so I can’t help but post a review for a holiday read. Last year I read and really enjoyed Duke, Actually. So This Is Christmas is the next book in this series and I was very grateful when I got approved for an eARC on Netgalley. So keep on reading to find out more about the book and what I thought!

A big thank you to the publisher for providing me with an eARC to read and review.

WWW Wednesday #28

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?

TTT #268 | Books I Hope Santa Brings This Year

Published on by The Book Dutchesses12 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 Books I Hope Santa Brings This Year. Somehow I haven’t put any books on my Christmas wishlist. Probably because I already own so many unread ones haha. However, I do have a  couple of books I would love for Santa to bring me. These books aren’t released yet, some don’t have a release date or even year so it would be a Christmas miracle haha. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “TTT #268 | Books I Hope Santa Brings This Year” →

Down the TBR Hole #92

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

This is probably my last Down the TBR Hole and I’m so close to getting under 900 books on my want to read shelf. My post today marks the 5th time I haven’t added any books to this shelf and even have one less than the last time.

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!
