Review| The Night in Question – Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Last year I read The Agathas and thought it was a great start to a new mystery series. The sequel, The Night in Question, was an anticipated release of mine, because I was curious to see what this crime solving duo would do next. So I was really excited when I received an eARC to read and review. It took me a little longer that I liked before I finally read The Night in Question, but today I’m going to tell you about the book and what I thought!

A big thanks to Netgalley and Delacorte Press for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t influence my opinion in any way.

Fangirl Friday | Ranking Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department Songs

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I’ve already mentioned it in my last Royal Update, I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department non stop since the release haha. The album is absolutely amazing and I’m not sure why I’m making it so hard on myself by doing this ranking haha. I love these songs a lot and there probably won’t really be an explanation for this ranking. You’ll just have to go with it 😉 Let’s jump in!

WWW Wednesday #60

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?

5 On My TBR| Romance

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my important reading goals of 2023 is shrinking my physical TBR. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books I still have or subjects I want 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 romance. This is going to be one of the easiest topics for this meme, because my go to genre tends to be romance. Here are five that I hope to read really soon!

Down the TBR Hole #125

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Last time I started at the beginning of my want to read shelf and did a little housekeeping by taking off some books all by the same author. I actually did that again before starting this post, because I had a lot of books by Pittacus Lore. So instead of having a post filled with only one author, I decided to get a bit of a head start.

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!
