Blog Tour| He’ll Be Waiting – Liz Alterman

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

If you’ve been following the blog for some time you’ll know that I’ve started enjoying thrillers. When I saw the sign up for He’ll Be Waiting I needed to know more. I was hoping for a wild ride when reading this one, but I have to say it wasn’t completely what I was expecting. If you want to know more about the book and what I thought, keep on reading.

A big thanks to Inkslinger PR and the author for providing me with an e-arc to read and review!

Down the TBR Hole #54

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Okay, I was doing really good with not adding that many books to my Goodreads want-to-read shelf, but in the past two weeks I’ve added 11. Oops! So I can definitely say it’s good I’m still doing these posts every other week!

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!

Bookish Item| June TBR

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

Lately I’ve been all over the place with my reading and in May I haven’t completely followed my TBR, but I still like making these posts. It gives me ideas and I do read at least few of the books I talk about when I think of my TBR, haha. There are still 10 days in the month, but I already have a list of books I want to read. So keep on reading for my June TBR!

Tag | Days of the Week

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Recently I stumbled across Zezee’s blog again and found some wonderful tags to do! And I also found this one there. The Days of the Week tag was originally created by Jay Dee Archer on Youtube. You have to pick a book based on things that are commonly associated with the days of the week, and that could be related to mythology or religion or anything you can think off. I’m a bit lazy so I just copies Zezee’s list of associations haha. Let’s jump in! This is a different days of the week tag than Candyce did last month! Continue reading “Tag | Days of the Week” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Heart Principle – Helen Hoang

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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 Heart Principle – Helen Hoang” →

TTT #185| Book Titles That Are Complete Sentences

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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 book titles that are complete sentences. I don’t think I’ve ever done one like this. I’m going to have to look through my shelves and Goodreads for this one. Let’s take a look! I’ll be using a combination of books I’ve read and haven’t read yet.

Published on by The Book Dutchesses6 Comments

We already try keeping track of our TBR in different ways, but it’s also fun to look at them in themes. That’s one of the reasons why the bookish meme 5 On My TBR is so much fun. This bookish meme is hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. For this week the prompt is Literary Fiction. This is not a genre I read a lot so I had to do a Goodreads deep dive to see if I had any on my shelves haha. And I managed to find a couple! So let’s jump in.
