Published on by The Book Dutchesses6 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 on My Summer 2024 To-Read List. I’m not a TBR list girly but I do always have some books I would love to read soonish. So for this list I have a combination of books I already own, eARC’s and upcoming releases. Let’s take a look at that (possible) summer tbr!

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As we’ve mentioned before, one of our most important reading goals of is shrinking our physical TBR’s. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books we still have or what subjects to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.

This week’s topic is beach read. I’m someone who thinks beach reads are either light and fluffy romances or thrillers. Here are five beach reads on my TBR!

Down the TBR Hole #128

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s been just about a month since I posted my last Down the TBR Hole post. Since my last post, I’ve read three books I had on my Goodreads want to read shelf, so I’m still doing a great job!

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| What I Read in a Week Part 1

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

A trend I see a lot on TikTok and even bookstagram is that people show and tell us what they read in a week. Even though it won’t be as visual as a reel or video on TikTok, I thought it would be fun to track my reading for a week (I do anyways, because I track how many pages I read a day).

So here is what I read the week of June 3rd – June 9th. Let’s take a look at what I read last week!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Dead Cat Tail Assassins – P Djèlí Clark

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a 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 Dead Cat Tail Assassins – P Djèlí Clark” →
