TTT #379| Romance Authors I Want to Read from This Year

Published on 18/02/202518/02/2025 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 I’ve never reviewed. I don’t post full reviews for every book, but I do always talk about everything I’ve read in our monthly wrap ups. So technically there aren’t any books I haven’t reviewed? So I’m going to take the love freebie from last week and talk about a few romance authors I want to try this year.

For years and years and years I have been saying that Gilmore Girls is in my top 3 favorite tv shows of all time (flanked by Veronica Mars and One Tree Hill) and I recently discovered the Gilmore to Say podcast. I love listening to Tara and Haley talk about all things Gilmore Girls and of course I have been rewatching the show once again. Inspired by the podcast and Valentine’s Day I thought it would be fun to share my favorite episodes of the series with you all! I picked three of my ultimate favorites, so let’s take a look!

Review| Dream Girl Drama – Tessa Bailey

Published on 13/02/202513/02/2025 by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

After enjoying The Au Pair Affair, I was really curious about Sig and Chloe’s story. I was also a little hesitant, because Tessa Bailey tends to be a hit or miss for me author. Dream Girl Drama was definitely a hit! Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought. Keep on reading to find out!

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

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!
