WWW Wednesday #59

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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?

This week’s topic is a freebie, so I decided to go with a topic from a while ago that I didn’t get to do. Non-romantic relationships in books are usually some of my absolute favorite parts of a good story so I can’t wait and share some that I love. Let’s jump in!

Down the TBR Hole #124

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

This week’s Down the TBR Hole is starting off with two books less than it ended with last time. I actually read two books on my want to read shelf. Yay me!

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!

Tag | Try a Chapter: Netgalley Edition Part 11

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

A little while ago I used a try a chapter tag to see if I was still interested in the older eArcs I haven’t read yet. While I was excited for them when I requested them, my reading tastes have changed a bit and some of these books just aren’t for me anymore. I have not nearly enough time to spend it on books I don’t enjoy or I’m not excited about so I have to make some decisions. It’s been a while since I’ve last done one of these, so I think it’s the perfect time to do another one. Let’s see what I think after the first chapters!

I’m drawing a blank on covers or titles with rain, so I’m making my own version. Here are ten books I’m saving to read on a rainy day. Let’s take a look!
