Down the TBR Hole #135

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

At the moment, I’m actually working ahead on the blog, so it’s only been a week since I wrote my last Down the TBR Hole post. Since then nothing has changed.

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!

You might recall that I recently got a Kindle Paperwhite and I couldn’t be happier with it. I have been reading on it a lot and it works perfectly. While I never thought I would say this, I wanted to try Kindle Unlimited. After seeing it mentioned more and more on TikTok I decided to look into it. Let’s dive into my first thoughts!

Bookish Item| What I Read In a Week (While On Vacation) Part 2

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

A little while ago, I wrote a post about what I read in a week. It’s always interesting to see how much I actually read, so I decided to do it again. This time I tracked my reading for a whole week while I was on vacation. I wanted to see if I’d read a lot more without working during the week, so let’s see what I read last week!

Tag | Try a Chapter: Netgalley Edition Part 14

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a 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. Let’s see what I think after the first chapters!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Songbird & the Heart of Stone – Carissa Broadbent

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 | The Songbird & the Heart of Stone – Carissa Broadbent” →

TTT #357| Books On My Fall TBR Part 1

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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 Ten Characters Authors Surprisingly Redeemed. I’m not really feeling this topic at the moment, so I’m going to already do next week’s topic, and that is the books on my Fall TBR. We all know I’m bad at sticking to a TBR, but these are books I really am hoping to read soon. Let’s take a look!

5 On My TBR | Need a BUDDY for this READ

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 Need a BUDDY for this READ. I really like this topic, there are a ton of books I could use a buddy for haha. It can be so helpful to do a buddyread to actually pick up a book. Let’s see which 5 books I would like a buddyread for right away! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Need a BUDDY for this READ” →

Show Sunday | Shows I’m Currently Rewatching 2024 Edition

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Last year I shared a post about the tv shows I was rewatching at that time. And maybe it’s this time of the year, but I am once again rewatching some shows. I love the comfort of knowing what will happen (at least broadly haha, like with books I forget so many details). And I figured today would be a good day to share which shows I’m rewatching. So let’s jump in! Continue reading “Show Sunday | Shows I’m Currently Rewatching 2024 Edition” →
