Sunday Sum-Up

October 29, 2017August 15, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

Just a quick update today, since it's a busy, busy day! This is a bit later than normal because I spent most of my morning at the public library's annual book sale. Today was the last day and sadly, the only day I could get to. While certain sections were fairly picked over, I did … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

In spite of the warm weather, Autumn is here! Most of the leaves have turned, and with that low, autumnal light, my drive to work is completely gorgeous! I live in an older part of town where the streets are lined with old, tall trees whose leaves have all turned yellow and gold with a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

I'm a little late writing this today because I went out of town over night and just got home. My sister and I had intended to go hiking today, but thanks to a couple of days' worth of rain and her sinus infection, we couldn't go. Another time, I guess. We ended up hanging out … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

September Summary and October Preview

September 30, 2017August 15, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

It's getting pretty around here:   I like to say that October is Nebraska's apology for the rest of the year. Our summers are hot and humid, while our winters are cold and icy. Spring is utterly unpredictable and likes to throw tornadoes and hailstorms at us when the temperature isn't jumping from summer-like to … Continue reading September Summary and October Preview

Back in 2018, I tried to read as much fiction in translation from as many different countries as possible. A friend recommended Carsten Jensen's 'We, The Drowned' to me, so I bought a copy... and never read it. There are several unread tomes on my shelves, and I am going to make an effort to read them in 2020. . . . #wethedrowned #carstenjensen #bigbooks #tomes #tbr #2020tbr #toread #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #booksintranslation #translatedfiction #readtheworld
I first read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising books when I was in elementary school, and am now on my third or fourth reread. I love the story and the imagery. It always seems to be a different book whenever I come back to it. . . . #susancooper #thedarkisrising #greenwitch #arthurianlore #books #fantasynovels #yafantasy #favoritebooks #tbr #bookstack #bookstagram
I wanted to start reading Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin last night, but by the time I got home and finished doing all the annoying housekeeping, I was too tired to read anything, and went to bed. Oh well. Maybe tonight. . . . #winterstale #winterreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #blue #booklove #tbr #toread
My December TBR. Not as many books as other months, but a lot of pages. I can't wait to start my reread of The Lord of the Rings, especially now that I have the reader's companion by Hammond and Scull. . . 📚Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper 📚Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin 📚The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien 📚The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull 📚Within the Frame by David duChemin . . . #tbr #bookstack #decemberreads #thelordoftherings #lotr #silveronthetree #thedarkisrising #tolkienfan #tolkien #tolkiennerd #booknerd
There are some books that, from the first page, you just know are going to be wonderful. That is the case with The Tiger's Daughter by K Arsenault Rivera. I am about 100 pages into it and am loving this gorgeously written story about two women who have loved each other from childhood and have a great destiny before them. . . . #thetigersdaughter #karsenaultrivera #newfavorites #amreading #currentreads #bookstagrammer #instabook #bookstagram #fantasynovels #theirbrightascendancy
There is a snowstorm on the way, and I would rather stay at home and read instead of going to work. . . I have read parts of The Sagas of Icelanders, but there are plenty of stories I still need to get to. I plan to remedy that this winter. . . . #sagas #sagasoftheicelanders #icelandicsagas #bookstagram #tbr #toread #winterreads #booksforasnowday
