As I mentioned in my latest Royal Update I have been watching The Summer I Turned Pretty. Of course I had to read the whole series first (you can find my review of the series here). Now that I’ve watched the first season I wanted to share my thoughts! So let’s jump in!

Bookish Item | Books On My TBR With The Least Ratings
These past week I’ve been looking at my TBR in all kinds of different ways… Expect for the way where you’re actually reading the books ;). I did highest rating, lowest rating, most ratings and today it’s time for the least amount of ratings. Looking at the list I saw a couple of Dutch books and I made the executive decision to leave those out. So let’s take a look at the rest!

Bookish Item| Have I Read Any of My 2022 Most Anticipated Releases?
Besides the posts we do at the beginning of the year talking about our most anticipated releases I also have to make a list for the TBR and Beyond Facebook group. At the end of the year all moderators make a list and we get graphics. We’re halfway through the year, so it’s time to talk about mine. Some haven’t released yet, but quite a few have. Have I read any of my most 2022 anticipated releases? Let’s find out!

Can’t Wait Wednesday| The Fraud Squad – Kyla Zhao
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.

WWW Wednesday #12
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 the first 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 #242 | Bookish Wishes
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 Bookish Wishes, the idea is to list 10 books you’d love to own. You can add your amazon wishlist or your kindle email address so people can gift you the books. I feel really weird asking people for gifts but I guess I’m kinda okay with giving my kindle email haha. If anyone is interested, that is isabellevdmosselaar@kindle.com. But for now, let’s take a look at the 10 books I would love to own at the moment! Continue reading “TTT #242 | Bookish Wishes”
5 On My TBR| Forced Proximity
Tracking your TBR is pretty important when it’s quite large, haha. Besides Down the TBR Hole and my Netgalley Backlist we needed something to track our physical TBR. 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 translated, but I’m not feeling that one today. I do really like next week’s prompt though, so I’m doing that one a week early. Forced proximity is a fun trope and one I need to read more of. So here are 5 books with forced proximity I want to read.
Royal Update #129
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 #129”
Down the TBR Hole #79
When I sat down to write this post I was convinced I did pretty good these past two weeks. I was wrong, haha. I added way more than I expected to my want to reads shelf. So it’s definitely clear I’ll be continuing with these Down the TBR Hole posts for quite some time, haha.
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!
