Bookish Item | Upcoming 2025 Releases I Still Have Netgalley eARC’s For

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Candyce and I have been pretty lucky with the eARC’s we’ve been getting since we started this blog. We won’t get all of the eARC’s, but we’ve gotten a lot of great ones over the years! One of my yearly reading goals remains to read more of the eARC’s I still haven’t read. It’s one of the biggest challenges every single time. Today I thought it would be fun to see which upcoming 2025 releases I still had eARC’s for. I don’t think there are a lot, so maybe I can finish them before the end of the year? Let’s take a look!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver – Rafael Torrubia

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 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 Breaking the Spine. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver – Rafael Torrubia” →

This week’s topic is Books with a High Page Count. Isabelle wasn’t feeling last week’s topic, so she decided to do this one before. You can see here post here. Today I want to talk about ten books with a high page count that I still need to read. Let’s take a look!

Show Sunday | Ballard

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

After finishing one show, I was looking for something else when I came across Ballard. I was intrigued because it had Maggie Q as the lead and I have loved her since Nikita (and also; now I want to rewatch Nikita) and it’s about a cold case ‘unit’. There have been a lot of shows about cold cases that I really enjoyed, so I hoped that would be the case with this one as well. Let’s see what I thought about it!

Author Corner| Interview with Samantha Sotto Yambao

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s been quite some time since I’ve done an author corner, but I still love finding out more about the authors of books I’ve loved or want to read. Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao is a book I saw everywhere in the bookish community at the beginning of this year. It has a stunning cover and an amazing concept for a story.

I got to interview Samantha for today’s post and I’ll tell you about Water Moon as well. Keep on reading to find out more!

Review| Red Card – Maren Moore

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It feels like I haven’t read a sports romance in ages, so Red Card really caught my eye when I heard about it. I was so grateful to have an early copy! Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought. Keep on reading to find out more.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Forever for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

Review| Roll for Romance – Lenora Woods

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Even though it’s been a while since I played myself, I love reading stories that incorporate Dungeons and Dragons in one way or another. So when I saw Roll for Romance, I knew I needed to read it. Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought.

A big thank you to Netgalley and Dell for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

WWW Wednesday #92

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?
