Bookish Headlines #11

August 30, 2019August 29, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

It's been a minute since I rounded up my Bookish Headlines and put them together. The list is getting out of control in the 'saved' section of my news feed and some of the headlines are out of date. Oops. So let's get some book news out of the way, shall we? 'The Bookstagrammers and … Continue reading Bookish Headlines #11

Thanks to all of this heat, I've been staying inside, staying still, and trying to stay cool. This has involved a lot of news articles-- particularly bookish articles. 'The Free Black Women’s Library amplifies the voices of female African American writers' by Eva Recinos via the Los Angeles Times Little Free Libraries are popping up … Continue reading Bookish Headlines #10

It occurred to me the other day that I have built up quite the collection of saved articles. Sounds like it's time for another round of Bookish Headlines! '24 Fantasy Authors On The Books That Made Them Fall In Love With The Genre' by Kristian Wilson, via Bustle I always find it interesting to see … Continue reading Bookish Headlines #9

There is news in the world, and some of it is bookish! 'Try Reading a Children's Book to Understand Complicated or Uninteresting Topics' by Emily Price via Lifehacker When we want to learn new things, we often go out and get a big nonfiction book on the topic, and then bore our socks off because … Continue reading Bookish Headlines #7

Bookish Headlines #6

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

It's been a while since the last round of Bookish Headlines, but my literary newsfeed was dominated by "What's New for April" articles. These are useful if you're looking for upcoming releases, but they're not the conversational or critical articles I wanted to read. "The Stupid Classics Book Club" by Elisa Gabbert via the Paris … Continue reading Bookish Headlines #6

One of my current reads, The Fellowship of the Ring, is a long time favorite. And by favorite, I mean I could read this another twenty-five times and be perfectly happy. . . . #thefellowshipofthering #fotr #lotr #thelordoftherings #tolkien #tolkienfan #favoriteauthors #favoritebooks #frodolives #amreading #currentreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
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.

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
