Review| A Sea of Unspoken Things – Adrienne Young

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

After reading and loving Spells of Forgetting last year, I’ve decided that I need to read everything Adrienne Young publishes or has published. A Sea of Unspoken Things is her 2025 release, and I’m very grateful to have had an eARC. Today I want to talk about this book and what I thought!

A big thank you to Netgalley and Delacorte Press for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

Review| Prime Time Romance – Kate Robb

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Besides books, I’m a big fan of TV shows. I often watch them while blogging or in the evening! They can be a great comfort when you’re not feeling well or upset. So when I read the synopsis for Prime Time Romance, I knew I needed this book. I did read Prime Time Romance and I want to tell you what I thought about it today!

A big thank you to Netgalley and Dial Press Trade Paperback for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

5 On My TBR | Magical Realism/Fabulism

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Tracking your TBR is pretty important when it’s quite large, haha. Besides Down the TBR Hole and my Netgalley Backlist we needed something to track my physical TBR. 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 Magical Realism/Fabulism. I think there are some controversies on which books should be magical realism, so I believe that’s why there is also the term fabulism. Especially without reading the books I’m not sure which books on my shelves are magical realism (or fabulism). So I’m going off of what is on Goodreads. It might not be totally correct but it is what I’m going with today haha. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Magical Realism/Fabulism” →

Can’t Wait Wednesday| You’ve Reached Sam – Dustin Thao

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 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.

We both received Friend or Fiction through Netgalley months and months ago. Since it’s an October release, we kept pushing it forward and forward. And suddenly we realized this book was released and we still hadn’t read it! We saw the audiobook on Storytel and decided this was the moment to finally read it. And today we want to tell you all about it, so let’s get going! Continue reading “Buddy Review | Friend or Fiction – Abby Cooper” →
