Down the TBR Hole #163

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s time for our first Down the TBR Hole of 2026! We’re starting off the year with 465 books on my want to read shelf. I’m excited to see what progress I’ll make this year.

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. This meme is now being hosted by Jody from I’m Into Books. 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!

Review| Say It Out Loud – Ashley Schumacher

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Sometimes you read a synopsis and know that you need to read a book. Say It Out Loud was one of those books for me. I even saw some early reviews that readers were getting Twilight vibes while reading this book and that had me even more intrigued. So today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Del Rey for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

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. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Ending Writes Itself – Evelyn Clarke” →
