TTT #398 | Books with a High Page Count

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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 Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump, but I’m really not feeling this one to be honest. I don’t even remember which books got me out of reading slumps, so I’m taking a head start on next week’s topic; Books with a High Page Count. That is a topic I can do for sure! I decided to go with books on my TBR, so let’s jump in! Continue reading “TTT #398 | Books with a High Page Count” →

Down the TBR Hole #154

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Since my last Royal Update, I actually read a physical book on my shelf that was on my want to read shelf on Goodreads, so we’re starting this post off in a good way!

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!

Bookish Item| Goodreads Readers’ 88 Favorite Romantasy Books of the Past Three Years

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

With summer slowly coming to an end, we’ll be heading into cozy season. My favorite time of the year. Even though I’ll read any genre during every season, I do feel we’re heading into the perfect fantasy (romance) book season. What’s better than a rainy day, cup of tea, and a fantasy (romance) book?

Goodreads published a list of readers’ 88 favorite romantasy books of the past three years. Out of these 88, I’ve already read 25 of these books. I want to read more of these, so let’s talk about the five I’m hoping to read soon.

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Invisible Parade – Leigh Bardugo & John Picacio

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 | The Invisible Parade – Leigh Bardugo & John Picacio” →

Bookish Item| TBR Cards Choose My Next 5 eARC Reads Part 2

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As a blogger and bookstagrammer, I’m very grateful for the eARCs I’m approved for. It’s such a great opportunity to read books early and help promote authors. I will say that Netgalley motivates a bit more than Edelweiss by having a feedback ratio. So today, I want to give my Netgalley eARCs some more attention, so I’m letting my TBR cards choose my next 5 eARC reads. Let’s take a look!
