5 On My TBR| Contemporary Books on My TBR

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 in translation, but that’s not really one working for me at the moment. I was supposed to do the July 1st theme, but of course our bookhaul came online instead, so I’m choosing to do this one now. I have quite a few contemporary books on my TBR that I need to get to, so take a look!

Down the TBR Hole #130

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

At the moment I’m typing this, I’m at the same amount of books on my want to read shelf as I was in my last post. That being said, I’m getting this one scheduled really soon after the one before this, so I’m not upset about that.

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 | Mislaid in Parts Half-Known – Seanan McGuire

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I have read every book in the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire and was always looking forward to the next instalment. But at some point I was getting less and less interested, as they weren’t as exciting to me anymore. I was still reading them but not right away and I wasn’t enjoying them as much. That’s why it took me so long to get to this one. But now I have read it, and I do want to share my thoughts with you all! So let’s jump in.

Review | This Is Why We Lied – Karin Slaughter

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Last week I was looking for a new audiobook and to my very pleasant surprise I saw the newest Karin Slaughter was already released. I adore her books and as soon as it releases I read the new Will Trent every year. So of course I started the audiobook right away and just a day later I finished the whole thing haha. And today I wanted to share my thoughts on the book, so let’s dive in!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil – V.E. Schwab

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 | Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil – V.E. Schwab” →

Published on by The Book Dutchesses6 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 throwback freebie, so I get to choose a topic I haven’t done or want to do again. I’ve decided to revisit books on my TBR I predict will be 5-star reads. I recently did a five star prediction post, but they’re always fun to do! Let’s take a look at some of my predictions.
