2019 Goals

January 1, 2019December 30, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

  I don't do resolutions for the new year, but I do like to develop a list of goals for the year. Mostly, they're achievable, but sometimes I don't accomplish them. Oops. So here are some of my 2019 goals. Some are bookish, some are not. Reading Challenge: Goodreads has not asked me to set … Continue reading 2019 Goals

Reading Plan: 2019

December 6, 2018December 5, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

Back at the end of 2017, I made an ambitious reading plan for the next year. In 2018, I was going to read 75 books by non-US/UK authors. My ‘books read’ list was overflowing with authors from just two countries in the world, and after reading Ann Morgan’s account of her goal to read a … Continue reading Reading Plan: 2019

And overnight, I lose a bunch of followers, thanks to Instagram getting rid of bot accounts. I mean, good riddance to them, but why make an IG bot to begin with? . Anyway, I got this beautiful copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray for Christmas, and I am planning to reread it in the next couple of weeks. . . . #thepictureofdoriangray #oscarwilde #books #beautifulbooks #bookstagram #instabook #doriangray #tbr #toread
I started reading Ice by Anna Kavan today. It's a strange science fiction/dystopian novel about a man searching for an abused woman while trying to keep clear of totalitarian authorities as a climate catastrophe unfolds around them. It is strange and a little disturbing. I am about a third of the way through, so will withhold judgement until I am farther into it. Has anyone else read this? What did you think of it? . . . #annakavan #slipstreamfiction #sff #books #reading #amreading #instabook #bookstagram #britishauthors #sciencefiction
I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to bookish photos lately. I'm going to take some photos today, though, and see if the spark comes back. . . . #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #senseandsensibility #janeausten #booknerd #booklove
Part of my February reading plan is to get through some of the books I got for Christmas, especially Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner. And who can resist Jane Austen? . . . #books #tbr #toread #sistersofthewinterwood #senseandsensibility #janeausten #bookstack #booklove #bookstagram #queensofrenthia #jadecity #pictureofdoriangray
It's not as cold here as it is in other parts of the Midwest, but the -19F windchill still makes me want stay in bed and read all day. Or bake. . I bought this beautiful hardcover copy of Elizabeth Kostova's book The Shadow Land on clearance for about $6. I've read The Historian, but nothing else by her. Has anyone else read it? What did you think about it? . . . #books #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #theshadowland #beautifulbooks #tbr #elizabethkostova #toread #instabook #booklove
I just finished Linnea Harsuyker's excellent historical fiction novel, The Half-Drowned King last night. It's set in 9th century Norway before the rise of Harald Fairhair, the first King of Norway. The characters are deep and complex, and everything feels true to the time and place. The second book in the trilogy is The Sea Queen, and I am looking forward to reading it! . . #linneahartsuyker #thehalfdrownedking #historicalfiction #books #tbr #booknerd #bookworm #instabook
