Bookish Item | Book Beginnings on Friday: Foul is Fair – Hannah Capin

Published on by The Book Dutchesses2 Comments

It’s been a month since our last Book Beginnings on Friday and I thought I would give it another go! 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. I don’t know how often we will do this, but it seems like fun from time to time. Today’s book is Foul is Fairby HannahCapin.

Bookish Item| Would I Still Feel The Same About These Books?

Published on by The Book Dutchesses12 Comments

I don’t reread as often as I’d like, but when I have, so far I’ve still loved the books or loved them even more the second time around. That got me thinking about books I read a few years ago, or even before the blog! Today I want to talk about a few of these books/series, so I can plan a reread in the future, so I can answer the question: Would I still feel the same about these books?

Published on by The Book Dutchesses10 Comments

One of my reading goals this year is to get my Netgalley feedback ratio up to 80%. It’s the end of October and I’m still at 62% as I’m typing this, haha. So it’s not going exactly as planned. I’ve talked about my Netgalley Backlist before (Part 1 was written by Isabelle and Part 2 has been posted by me in July) and I thought it was time to make another post. Remind myself about the books I need to get to. Let’s take a look!

Bookish Item | Can’t Wait Wednesday

Published on by The Book Dutchesses5 Comments

After sitting behind my laptop for awhile trying to decide what I wanted to post today, I decided to go with a meme we haven’t tried before: Can’t Wait Wednesday!

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.

As a reader, it’s always amazing when you can meet the person behind the books that you’ve come to love. Being in the Netherlands we don’t always get a lot of authors here.

As a book lover, there’s nothing like meeting the authors behind your favorite books. This time I didn’t actually get to meet the authors, but a friend of mine did and had a few books signed for me! In the past I have written about my signed books and thought it would be fun to do another post! Let’s check out the signed books I’ve recently added to my collection.
