Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

I’ve recently really started getting back into watching booktube videos. That’s when I stumbled upon a video from BooksandLaLa looking back at 6 years of anticipated releases. This got me thinking. Have I read my most anticipated reads? We do two Top Ten Tuesday posts each year looking at our most anticipated releases for the first and second half of the year. We started in 2019. So did I read my 2019 most anticipated releases? Keep on reading to find out?

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Final Strife – Saara El-Arifi

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 Final Strife – Saara El-Arifi” →

Published on by The Book Dutchesses10 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 with your favorite trope/theme. I’ve recently done a couple of those with romance books, so I decided to do next week’s post instead. Here are ten books on my Spring 2022 TBR. Hopefully I actually read them this time, haha.

Bookish Beginnings on Friday | Gallant – V.E. Schwab

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Candyce wanted to do some more Bookish Beginnings to promote some of the eARC’s we have so last week she shared the start of So This Is Ever After. And I figured it would be great to do Gallant today as we’re both reading that eARC as well. We love V.E. Schwab so this was a very highly anticipated release.

This meme was created by Rose City Reader. The idea is to post the first sentence or so of the book you’re currently reading. After that you talk about your initial thoughts about the sentence, book or anything to do with that. Continue reading “Bookish Beginnings on Friday | Gallant – V.E. Schwab” →
