TTT #120 | Books On My TBR With the Word LOVE In It

Published on by The Book Dutchesses26 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 The Last Ten Books That Gave Me a Book Hangover, however I don’t really get book hangovers so there’s no way I’m going to name 10 books. I decided to pick another topic and was inspired by Jana’s love freebie last week. She did 10 Books On My TBR With the Word LOVE In It because of Valentine’s and I’m doing the same this week!

It’s that time of month again to look back at one of our previous bookhauls. This month it’s time for January 2019. The month after Christmas, so it could still be a big haul! Let’s take a look! What books have we read since adding them to our TBR?

Published on by The Book Dutchesses5 Comments

Last week Isabelle took a look to see if she’d read any of her 2019 anticipated releases. I decided to get back a bit further than that. In September 2017 I wrote a post aboute the 12 books I wanted to read before 2018. So I decided to take a look for an update. Did I read any of them? Let’s take a look!

Looking Back At Our Bookhauls | November 2018

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Our November bookhaul this year was a lot bigger than we wanted it to be, haha. With Christmas almost upon us we know we’ll get a ton of books so we try to slow down in the months before. Last year we both managed to keep our bookhaul small, but the big question now is; did we actually read the books this time? Lets take a look at our November 2018 Bookhaul!

Bookish Item| Netgalley Backlist Part 3

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!

So let’s take a look at what I recently read and what I am reading now and what I am going to pick up during this week.

Bookish Item | Challenging Myself to Read Big Books

Published on by The Book Dutchesses4 Comments

I’ve talked about my ‘fear’ of reading big books before and I want to talk about it some more today! While I usually love the big books I read, I also have trouble picking them up haha. They can be so intimidating! I love watching Emily Fox on Youtube and she started doing a big books challenge in 2018 (I think that’s when she started). She puts 12 big books in a mug and picks one each month to read. And I figured why not do something similar? Continue reading “Bookish Item | Challenging Myself to Read Big Books” →

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 Favorite Things to Eat/Drink While Reading and honestly, that really isn’t my thing. I almost always drink tea and I think it will be pretty boring if I just listed my ten favorite tea flavors haha. So I decided to go for last weeks topic and share my top ten Books On My TBR I’m Avoiding. Let’s get into it! Continue reading “TTT #97 | Books On My TBR I’m Avoiding Reading Part 2” →

Looking Back At Our Bookhauls | August 2018

Published on by The Book Dutchesses3 Comments

Every month we add books to our collections, but we’ve been curious about how much of them we actually read. In Looking Back at Our Bookhauls, we take a look at our hauls from the year before. What have we read and what do we still need to read? We hope this motivates us more to get to our unread books and maybe buy a little less. Even if this doesn’t always work, haha. Today we’re looking back at our book hauls from August 2018!
