Review| Bridesmaid for Hire – Meghan Quinn

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It took me a lot longer than expected to finally sit down and read Bridesmaid for Hire, but I finally did. I’m mad at myself for waiting so long to read this one. Meghan Quinn is one of my favorite authors and proved to me again why that’s the case with this book. Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought. Keep on reading for more.

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

WWW Wednesday #84

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?

Down the TBR Hole #146

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Since my last Down the TBR Hole, I’ve managed to take two books off of my want to read shelf. I’m pretty happy about this!

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!

With that said, today as a bit of an introduction, I want to talk about some of my favorite tropes in books. So let’s dive in! Continue reading “Trope Thursday | My Favorite Tropes” →
