WWW Wednesday #94

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!

So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:

  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What are you currently reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?

TTT #401 | Villains

Published on by The Book Dutchesses5 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 Villains. I love reading about villains, at least when they are well developed. A villain with a good backstory and interesting motivations can make the story so much better. And sometimes you just want to root for a villain ;). Sometimes it’s also debatable who you should call a villain. So let’s take a look at some of my favorite villains!

We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too! Continue reading “Royal Update #290” →

Down the TBR Hole #156

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

We’re starting this Down the TBR Hole post at the same place we ended two weeks ago! I didn’t take anything off of my want to read shelf, but nothing has been added either!

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. This meme is now being hosted by Jody from I’m Into Books. 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!

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I’m back to work and right away my reading has slowed down immensely. Especially this first week of teaching was extremely tiring, so I haven’t finished any new books. But luckily I did finish a couple of books this summer and I have these two to still talk about. So let’s just dive in!

Bookish Item| Fairyloot Books I Want to Read Before the End of 2025

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

We only have a few months left in 2025 and I’m trying to use this time to read the books on my shelves that have been staring at me to be read. I have a Fairyloot subscription. At first I had the YA and romantasy books, but since May I have the triple box that now also includes the adult book every month. These books are stunning and so far I’ve wanted to read them all. So today I want to talk about my Fairyloot books I want to read before the end of 2025! Let’s take a look.

Can’t Wait Wednesday | An Arcane Inheritance – Kamilah Cole

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 | An Arcane Inheritance – Kamilah Cole” →
