Down the TBR Hole #24

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Seeing how I keep adding new books to my Goodreads TBR, I decided to did this just a little more often than I have before. It’s been about two weeks since my last Down the TBR Hole and I’ve added 3 books to my want-to-read shelf. That isn’t much, but with Christmas only a few days away, I thought it was good to try to get a rid of a few more titles!

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! Continue reading “Down the TBR Hole #24” →

Fire & Bone is such a good book and I’ve been waiting for more in this series. The author recently gave us a short story/prequel, Spark and Sorrow, and it did not disappoint. Today I want to tell you about this short story! A big thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC to read and review.

Review | Deadly Little Scandals – Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

One of my favorite reads of last year was Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Jennifer is one of my favorite and most read YA authors so as pretty soon after the sequel was released I picked it up. I love YA mysteries and I had high hopes for this one. So let’s see if it lived up to my expectations! Continue reading “Review | Deadly Little Scandals – Jennifer Lynn Barnes” →

Bookish Item | Book Beginnings on Friday: Foul is Fair – Hannah Capin

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

It’s been a month since our last Book Beginnings on Friday and I thought I would give it another go! 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. I don’t know how often we will do this, but it seems like fun from time to time. Today’s book is Foul is Fairby HannahCapin.

Tag | Merry Christmas Book Tag

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

My last Christmas tag of the year! Are you sick of it yet? Haha. I won’t get this opportunity for another 11 months so I had to make good use of it. Merry Christmas Book Tag was created by Jess and I found it over at It Starts At Midnight. This was once again a fun tag I found and I honestly don’t have that much more to say. I’m totally using the cute headers Jess created. So let’s just get started! Continue reading “Tag | Merry Christmas Book Tag” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow – Jessica Townsend

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after Candyce did Can’t Wait Wednesday we decided that would be a fun way 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.

Today I want to talk about a middle grade book I’m really excited about. Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crown is out in February and I can’t wait!

Published on by The Book Dutchesses22 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 Winter TBR. I’m really bad at doing TBRs (looked at my Fall list and only read one out of ten, haha. So I plan on trying again and we’ll see how far I get. I’ve decided to focus on ten books that I already own and have on my TBR!
