Bookish Item | 2018 Bookhauls – What Have I Read? Part 2

Published on by The Book Dutchesses5 Comments

We look back at our bookhauls from the previous year every month, but we also thought it’s be interesting to look back at a few years ago to see how much we’ve actually read. Hopefully this will also be motivation to pick up books we still haven’t read or maybe even do an unhaul. This will probably be a pretty long post, haha. Isabelle posted her 2018 bookhauls last week. Now it’s my turn. Keep on reading to see how many of the books I’ve read that were put in my shelves in 2018!

A while ago Candyce and I wrote a couple ‘Last Year I Was Reading’ posts. I really enjoy looking back at what I was reading before and it’s a nice way to be reminded of those books again. We discovered Last Year I Was Reading on Cozy with Books. This meme was originally created by Reading Maria and started off on Instagram! Let’s check out what this is all about and what I was reading last year! Continue reading “Bookish Item | Last Year I Was Reading #6” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Society For Soulless Girls – L.K. Steven

Published on by The Book Dutchesses3 Comments

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 Society For Soulless Girls – L.K. Steven” →

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 with an adjective in the title! To make this a bit more fun for me I’ve decided to talk about ten books with an adjective in the title that I want to read! Keep on reading to see what’s on my list!

5 On My TBR | Owned for 2 Years

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

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 my 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 a Happy 2 Years of #5OnMyTBR Freebie! So I decided to go for books that have been on my TBR for at least 2 years. There were more to choose from than I’d like to admit haha. I have 5 books I got in March 2020, so I’ve owned those for almost exactly 2 years now! Let’s see which ones those are. Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Owned for 2 Years” →

Show Sunday | HBO Max Watchlist – TV Shows

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

Since the first week of March HBO Max has been released in the Netherlands. And of course  I had to get a subscription as well. I loved seeing so many shows that weren’t available to us before. And of course a ton of older, beloved shows that I can’t wait to watch again. So today I wanted to share my watchlist. I also have a ton of movies I want to watch (again) but I’ll use those for the next post. Today it’s all about the tv shows, so let’s jump in!

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

Get ready for a big post haha! Last year Candyce and I looked at our 2017 bookhauls to see how many books we read. Today I’m going to look at my 2018 bookhauls and next week Candyce will look at hers.
