Bookish Item| 5 On My TBR – RomComs

Published on 10/04/202031/03/2020 by The Book Dutchesses4 Comments

I’m always looking for new memes to do on the blog for bookish items on Friday. On Twitter I heard about a new one 5 On My TBR. This is normally done on Mondays, but I’m moving it to Friday, because it works just a bit better for our schedule, haha.

#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook and you can learn more about it here or in the post announcing it. It occurs every Monday when we post about 5 books on our TBR. RomComs was the prompt for March 23rd, but I love them too much to not do this one! Let’s take a look at five romcoms on my TBR.

Published on 09/04/202014/04/2020 by The Book Dutchesses8 Comments

Its nice to have something to comfort you in these trying times, and for me Harry Potter has been one of those things. I adore the series (and the whole wizarding world) with my whole heart. But of course we can’t love all 7 books entirely equally. So today I wanted to show you all my ranking of the Harry Potter books. Let’s dive in!
There will be spoilers 😉 Just in case haha. Continue reading “Bookish Item | Ranking the Harry Potter Books” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday| The Mall – Megan McCafferty

Published on 08/04/202031/03/2020 by The Book Dutchesses4 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 Bre aking the Spine.

TTT #127| Books I Bought Because They Were Recommended By a Friend

Published on 07/04/202031/03/2020 by The Book Dutchesses18 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 I Bought/Borrowed Because…I decided to go with Books I Bought Because They Were Recommended By a Friend. A lot of books I buy and read are collected after a friend recommended it. I’m lucky to have quite a few bookishfriends with the same taste as me. So here are ten books I bought after they were recommended.

Review| Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating – Christina Lauren

Published on 04/04/202029/03/2020 by The Book Dutchesses4 Comments

I don’t think I need to say that I’m a big fan of romance, haha. That being said, I always like trying out new books. Christina Lauren is a duo that I definitely know about, but haven’t read much by. I think the only book I reviewed is Autoboyography. A friend of mine was listening to Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating and said it was really good.

At that moment, I was looking for a new romance to start and decided to give this one a go. Did I end up enjoying this book? Let’s take look!

Bookish Item | The Forgotten TBR Challenge

Published on 03/04/202002/04/2020 by The Book Dutchesses3 Comments

I pick up books only to put them down before ending them all the time. So I have quite some half read books and that needs to change haha. The quarantine seems like the perfect time to read all those forgotten books. I’m challenging myself to read (or officially DNF) all these book before the Corona crisis is done. Assuming it’s going to be at least two more months haha. So let’s see which books are on my pile of forgotten books! Continue reading “Bookish Item | The Forgotten TBR Challenge” →
