Down the TBR Hole #1

Published on by thebookdutchesses13 Comments

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story, and I found it over at Howling Libraries. 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 15 books at a time so lets get started!

It works like this:

  • Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
  • Order on ascending date added.
  • Take the first 5 (or 10 or 15 or 20, if you’re feeling adventurous) books
  • Read the synopses of the books
  • Decide: keep it or should it go?
  • Keep track of where you left off so you can pick up there next week!

Current “to-read” shelf: 1.017

Every other week we’ll have a Top Ten Tuesday. This bookish meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010!

This weeks theme is all about the books you want to read in 2018, and those can either be new releases or books that have been on your TBR for way too long. I decided to do 5 for each option and it was pretty hard narrowing it down haha. Let’s get into it! Continue reading “TTT #7 | Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2018” →

TTT #5 | Books on My Winter TBR

Published on by thebookdutchessesLeave a comment

Every other week we’ll have a Top Ten Tuesday. This bookish meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010!

This week’s is all about the books on your winter TBR. I never make a specific TBR because I just want to read whatever I feel like reading at that moment. Whenever I finish a book, I’ll go and stand in front of my shelves and just pick a book that feels ‘right’ haha. However I do have some books I would like to get to pretty soon, so I guess they are on my winter TBR. Lets take a look! Continue reading “TTT #5 | Books on My Winter TBR” →

Bookish Item | Books to read before 2018

Published on by thebookdutchesses11 Comments

I think every avid reader will agree with me when I say we can all agree with “so many books, so little time”. My TBR has really grown this year and I think it’s going to get even bigger by the end of this year. There are so many interesting books that I really want to read. This leads to me reading four or five books all at once (which makes it seem like forever before I can check off a book on Goodreads) and still having a pile staring at me screaming at me to read them. I have even lost count of how many series I have started reading this year (okay, I actually made a list of those in my bulletjournal, but that’s for another article, haha). This had me thinking, what books do I really need to read before this year ends? By the time this comes online it will be the end of September. That gives me three months to finish the books mentioned in this article. I can’t guarentee that I will read all of them, but I will try. Choosing books always depends on my mood, so we shall see. Now it’s time for what this article is really about: the twelve books I really want to read before 2018 (in no particular order)!
