Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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 | Never a Hero – Vanessa Len” →

5 On My TBR | Classics

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 Classics. I’m not really a classics reader and I think I only have one on my shelves. But I’m going to give them a good look and see if I can find some more. I think I might have some books that could be considered SFF classics. Let’ dive in! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Classics” →

Book Tour| Fox Point’s Own Gemma Hopper – Brie Spangler

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Middle grade books tend to be my favorite, because I love they either have a message or something the readers can learn or relate to. Fox Point’s Own Gemma Harper is about finding your place and I think as we grow up that’s something we all struggle with at times. So I’m excited to talk about this book on my tour stop hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. Keep on reading to find out more about this book!

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Isabelle has done the try a chapter book tag a few times and recently decided to do this with older Netgalley galleys. We started the blog almost 6 years ago and Netgalley was a big rabbit hole when we discovered it.

After a few years, I’m not sure some of these books will be for me anymore, so let’s do a try a chapter tag to see if the first chapters makes me want to read more. I’m trying to increase my ratio and also give books a chance, so this seemed the best way to do it. Let’s take a look at the three books I chose for this week!
