Down the TBR Hole #142
It’s been over a month, but it’s time for my first Down the TBR Hole of 2025! Last year I made it to 600 books on my want to read shelf, so hopefully I can decrease this a lot more this year.
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 | Top 100 Romances According to Goodreads
Valentines Day is just around the corner and Goodreads just released a list of the top 100 romance novels of the past 3 years. I thought it would be fun to take a look at them and share which ones I have read and which ones I still want to read. While I’m not the biggest romance reader, I do have read a couple of them. So let’s take a look!

Bookish Item| Goodreads Choice Awards 2024 – Fiction
At the end of the year I didn’t really have time to take a close look at the Goodreads Choice Awards. That being said, when I did take a little look, I was surprised that I had barely read any of the nominees. So this year, I want to look at the different genres and make a little TBR and read some of these books.
Today I’m starting with fiction. Let’s take a look at the books I’m curious about and hope to read soon.

As you might know, I love playing games on my PC or my Switch. And just like with books, I love to make lists of games I would love to get. A couple of games on my wishlist are 2025 releases and I thought it would be fun to share those with you all. So let’s jump in! Continue reading “Hobby Hub | 2025 Game Releases I’m Excited About”
Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Great Orchid Heist – Eleanor Vendrell
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 Great Orchid Heist – Eleanor Vendrell”
TTT #377| 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To
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 2024 releases I was excited to read, but still haven’t gotten to. I know for a fact that there are quite a few that fit this topic, so let’s take a look!
