5 On My TBR| Historical Fiction

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 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 historical. Okay, so historical fiction isn’t a genre I read a lot of, but I’m sure I have a few on my TBR. Let’s take a look!

Down the TBR Hole #122

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

We’re starting with the same amount of books on my want to read shelf as last time, but as long as I haven’t added any new books I’m happy!

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!

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve read this one but today I want to share my review for Court of the Undying Seasons by A.M. Strickland. It is marketed for fans of Sarah J. Maas and A Deadly Education so you understand why I wanted to read it right? Marketing like that sets some high expectations, so let’s see if Court of the Undying Seasons was able to meet those!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Enchanted Lies of Céleste Artois – Ryan Graudin

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

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 Enchanted Lies of Céleste Artois – Ryan Graudin” →

TTT #331 | Books I’m Worried I Might Not Love as Much the Second Time Around 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 weird or funny things I’ve Googled thanks to a book. I actually rarely Google something because of a book. So I decided to already do next week’s topic: Books I’m Worried I Might Not Love as Much the Second Time Around. I don’t know if I’ll have 10 books, but we’ll see how far I get!
