Down the TBR Hole #145

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I’ve been able to take one book off of want to read shelf when I read it during my time off, so I’m still making progress!

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!

A bit of a different post from me today, but I thought it would be fun to share some of the books I’m currently reading with you all. I’m reading multiple books at once and I’m incredibly excited about basically all of them. So I wanted to talk about them! I’m not finishing any of them soon, so I didn’t want to wait until I would be able to write a review. Just a quick talk about some of them today!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Rose in Chains – Julie Soto

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 | Rose in Chains – Julie Soto” →

Review| Promise Me Sunshine – Cara Bastone

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Ready or Not was one of my favorite books last year, so I was very excited when Cara Bastone announced Promise Me Sunshine. Besides a gorgeous cover, the story sounds amazing. I knew I’d be in for an emotional ride. 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 Dial Press for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.
