5 On My TBR | Hyped Books You Skipped on in the Past

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 Hyped Books You Skipped on in the Past and I think that’s a great topic as I’ve just read Fourth Wing, one of the most hyped books of the past year. I’m not sure how many hyped books I have on my TBR, but we’ll see. Let’s dive in! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Hyped Books You Skipped on in the Past” →

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!

Review| Faebound – Saara El-Arifi

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

At the beginning of the year I said that I wanted to read more fantasy again and I’m doing good with that goal. Faebound was one of the 2024 fantasy releases I was really excited about and I finally finished reading it (I get way too distracted by books, haha). So keep on reading to find out more about the book and my thoughts!

A big thank you to Netgalley and Harper Voyager for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This does not affect my opinion in any way.

TTT #334 | TV Shows That Would Have Made Amazing Books

Published on by The Book Dutchesses5 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 Movies/TV Shows That Would Have Made Amazing Books. I watch a lot of tv shows, but I have to say I usually hope books get turned into tv shows (or movies). So thinking about this the other way around is a bit weird. Interesting for sure, but also a bit weird haha. Let’s take a look and see which tv shows I picked!

A big thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This did not influence my opinion of this book.
