5 On My TBR| Title Starting with an ‘M’

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 Title Starting with an ‘M’. I’ll have to go through my shelves, because there aren’t any ‘M’ books popping in my head. Let’s see what I find!

Down the TBR Hole #120

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I get to start off another Down the TBR Hole by saying that I read another book off of my want to read shelf. I need to keep this going!

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 | 2019 Bookhauls – What Have I Read? Part 1

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

We look back at our bookhauls from the previous year every month, but we also thought it would be interesting to look back at a few years ago to see how much we’ve actually read. Hopefully this will also be motivation to pick up books we still haven’t read or maybe even do an unhaul. This will probably be a pretty long post, haha. I’m looking back at every book I got in 2019 to see if I’ve read them. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “Bookish Item | 2019 Bookhauls – What Have I Read? Part 1” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday | How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin

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 | How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin” →

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 Top Ten Quick Reads/Books to Read When Time is Short. I’m not feeling this topic, so I decided to do last week’s topic: New to Me Authors I Discovered in 2023. Let’s take a look!
