Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Dead Cat Tail Assassins – P Djèlí Clark

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 | The Dead Cat Tail Assassins – P Djèlí Clark” →

TTT #344| Books on My Summer 2024 To-Read List Part 1

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 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 bookish wishes. I’m not really feeling that topic this week, and I enjoy making little TBRs (even if I never stick to them, haha), so I’m going to do next week’s topic. Here are ten books on my summer 2024 to read list.

5 On My TBR | Title Starting with a ‘T’

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 Title Starting with a ‘T’. There aren’t any books that come to mind right away but I’m sure I own a couple. So let’s jump in and take a look! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Title Starting with a ‘T’” →

Show Sunday | Geek Girl

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

I really enjoyed the Geek Girl book series, while at times the story was predictable and maybe somewhat cringey it was also a lot of fun. So when I became aware of the tv show, I had to watch it when it was released. And that was the case last week, so of course I have been watching Netflix all weekend haha!

Review| Past Present Future – Rachel Lynn Solomon

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Today Tonight Tomorrow is one of my favorite books by Rachel Lynn Solomon and I was so excited when she announced Past Present Future. Rowan and Neil’s adventure during their senior class game was just so much fun to read. So reading about them going off to college was something I wanted in my life.

So today I want to talk about Past Present Future, that released this week, and what I thought. So keep on reading to find out more. Also, a big thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Book for Young Readers for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t influence my opinions at all.

Tag| Try a Chapter: Netgalley Edition Part 13

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Two weeks ago I did a Try a Chapter: Netgalley edition book tag and I have to say it was fun. I’m still really trying to increase my Netgalley feedback ratio. I have it up to 39% and did have a little recent request spree, so I want to try and keep my ratio here and only have it increase.

Today I’ll be trying a chapter of two eARCs that have already released and two that haven’t, but that I’m just really excited about. At the end of the post I’ll have to decide what older release and upcoming release I’m going to start with. Let’s take a look!

WWW Wednesday #63

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!

So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:

  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What are you currently reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?
