Medieval History Book Haul

February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

Two things happened at roughly the same time this year: I brought three boxes of books to the used bookshop and ended up with a bunch of store credit. The used bookshop took in a portion of the collection of a professor emerita of history who had recently passed away. Needless to say that over … Continue reading Medieval History Book Haul

Book Haul: Windfall Edition

July 26, 2022July 25, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 8 Comments

It's been a while since I did a book haul, mostly because I pick up books here and there and keeping track of them and setting them aside for a single book haul isn't practical for me. But I've recently had two windfalls that brought me a bunch of books all at once: one full … Continue reading Book Haul: Windfall Edition

Birthday Book Haul

March 31, 2022March 30, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

March is my birthday month, so of course, I bought some books. I also received some birthday money (ostensibly for books) which I surprisingly haven't spent yet, so I'll have a birthday-adjacent book haul sometime later on. Landmarks by Robert MacfarlaneAll the Horses of Iceland by Sarah TolmieCabo de Gata by Eugen Ruge, translated from … Continue reading Birthday Book Haul

Christmas Book Haul

December 28, 2021December 27, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

I ask for nothing but books from my family. They don't quite understand my obsession with books, but they humor me and buy books for me, and I appreciate that they do that. I've seen other readers whose families will say, "But I don't just want to get you yet another book", even when said … Continue reading Christmas Book Haul

Book Haul. From the Last While Or So.

September 13, 2021September 12, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

I can't remember the last time I did a book haul here. Was it after Christmas? In the spring? I don't know. But I've gotten several books over the past few months, so I thought I would share them with you and talk them up. There was one book I forgot to put in this … Continue reading Book Haul. From the Last While Or So.

Birthday/March Bookhaul

April 5, 2021April 4, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 10 Comments

So March was my birthday month, which means that I bought myself some books, and I received money (ostensibly for whatever, but we all know it went toward books), so there were trips to the bookstore for me, as well as a pre-order that I placed a couple of months ago. I bought some of … Continue reading Birthday/March Bookhaul

Book Haul: 10/15/2020

October 15, 2020October 14, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

I bought some books! I'm planning to read C.J. Sansom's Tudor era mysteries, the Matthew Shardlake Series. I found a good deal on the first book, Dissolution, a few weeks ago, and when I saw that my used bookstore had the next three books in the series, I snatched them up. Sovereign by C.J. SansomDark … Continue reading Book Haul: 10/15/2020

Book Haul, via Iceland

October 31, 2019October 27, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

I don't buy many souvenirs when I travel. My photographs serve that purpose well enough for me, and I pack so lightly that I don't have room for extra things. But I will seek out bookstores wherever I go and buy myself a book or two, and I try to find books that relate to … Continue reading Book Haul, via Iceland

Sunday Sum-Up, 03/10/2019

March 10, 2019March 9, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

As far as snowy and rainy birthday weeks go, this was a pretty good one. I didn't really go out and do anything special, but a bunch of us did get together for pizza and cake, and I splurged a little and bought some books. Which books, you ask? The Priory of the Orange Tree … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/10/2019

Library Sale Book Haul

October 16, 2018October 14, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

My public library has a big book sale every Fall. They take over the largest room in a local convention center for four days, and it draws hundreds of people. This year's sale was over the weekend, and so I drove out through an early snowstorm to pore over the remnants, which was still a … Continue reading Library Sale Book Haul
