State of the ARC: September, 2019

September 28, 2019September 27, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 4 Comments

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   Thanks to a couple of long flights in September, I had plenty of time to sit and read the ARCs I have … Continue reading State of the ARC: September, 2019

September at last! I'm wishing this summer and its heat good riddance. The weather has been wonderful lately, with some rain and cool temperatures. The only complaint I have is the sudden uptick in crickets. Where did they come from? Mina had another veterinary appointment on Wednesday so she could get her second round of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, September 1, 2019

People on the East Coast of the US like to make odd claims about the American Midwest, and one of their favorites seems to be that here in the Heartland, we don't lock our doors.

July Summary and August Preview

July 31, 2019July 30, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 9 Comments

I'm always happy when July comes to a close, if only because it means that the hot weather is mostly past, and my beloved Sweater Weather is that much closer. And no, I didn't mind the end of summer when I was a kid, either. A small, nerdy kid who preferred books to social gatherings … Continue reading July Summary and August Preview

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   I only had one advance review copy for the month of April, and that was Wayfinding by M.R. O'Connor.
