TTT #57 | Favorite Book Settings

Published on by The Book Dutchesses6 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 last January Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s prompt is a freebie so I decided to go with one Candyce did before, Favorite Book Settings because that is something I love to talk about. I’m not sure I will be able to come up with 10 different settings but we’ll see how far I come. Let’s get into those book settings. Continue reading “TTT #57 | Favorite Book Settings” →

Yesterday I shared my reviews of the 4th, 5th and 6th novella’s in the Ghosts of the Shadow Market anthology. Today I want to talk about story #7 and #8. We won’t get the last two stories until the physical copy of the bindup is released. Both these stories take place during Lady Midnight and the events are mentioned there as well.

Show Sunday| Atypical

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

The only positive thing about being sick last week was discovering a new show on Netflix. I couldn’t really concentrate on a book, so I was searching for something new to watch. That’s when I discovered the show Atypical. Between being home during the day and up at night a few times, I’m almost done with season 2!

Mini Reviews | Ghosts of the Shadow Market #1-#3 – Cassandra Clare

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Cassandra Clare is back with some short stories in her Shadowhunter world. Starting in April 2018, a short story will be published every month. If I read correctly two more stories will be added when all the stories are bundled in one book and published in Ghosts of the Shadow Market. I debated on waiting for the whole book to be published, but I decided I wanted to be back in the world, even for a bit. Getting ready for the release of Queen of Air and Darkness got us reading. I’ll be reviewing the first three and in the next couple of days, Isabelle is reviewing the other stories that have already been published

Bookish Item| Book Beginnings on Friday

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Do you ever just not know what to post about? Normally I have tons of ideas floating around my mind for these bookish items. Today I don’t have the lightbulb lighting for me. So I decide to participate in Book Beginning on Fridays. 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 I will do this, but it seems like fun from time to time.

To continue our Shadowhunter week, today I will be talking about Queen of Air and Darkness. Don’t worry about spoilers for it though, I just barely started. It could contain spoilers up until Lord of Shadows though, because I will write down my expectations!
