Edelweiss Next #1

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

So we just recently started doing weekly Netgalley Next posts and I decided to do this for another platform as well. Besides Netgalley I also use Edelweiss for e-arcs. This website doesn’t have a feedback ratio, but I still think it’s important to make sure to keep updated with these e-arcs as well.

So just like we do with Netgalley Next, I’m going to talk about 3 Edelweiss e-arcs I’m really wanting to read, read the first line/paragraph, and choose which one grabs me the most! Let’s take a look!

One of our reading goals is working on our Netgalley feedback ratio. Eventually we want to get it to 80%. And to help motivate us we decided to do this new post every week. We pick three of our eARCs and based on the first line, paragraph, or page we decide which one we’ll read next. Let’s take a look at today’s picks!

Bookish Beginnings on Friday| The Society For Soulless Girls – Laura Steven

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

I’ve loved promoting books I’m excited about and have received e-arcs of. One I recently got was The Society For Soulless Girls by Laura Steven. This author wrote one of my favorite books, The Exact Opposite of Okay, and I’m excited about this YA thriller with a supernatural twist.

This meme was created by Rose City Reader. The idea is to post the first sentence or so of the book you’re currently reading. After that you talk about your initial thoughts about the sentence, book or anything to do with that.

Bookish Item| Author Spotlights

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Believe me when I say I have a lot of unread books on my shelves. I’m guessing a lot of us book lovers will relate to that as well. I recently noticed I have quite a few new to me authors on my shelves that I own multiple books by. What’s a better way to work on my backlist and promote the authors by doing a monthly author spotlight. I’ll read one new to me author every month (all the books I own) and then decide if they’re going to be an author I add to my auto-buy authors now that I’ve read some of their books. Keep on reading to see which authors you’ll be seeing soon for these author spotlights!

How are there only 11 days left in May?!? I feel like I blinked and this month is over. I haven’t read as much as I planned, but I’m hoping to fix that during the rest of the month. Okay, so even though I rarely stick to my TBRs (except for group/buddyreads) I still really enjoy making TBRs. These are really books I want to read soon. So let’s take a look at my June TBR.
