Some Authors Whose Books I Don’t Care About

August 7, 2019August 6, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

Hype is a thing. Sometimes it pushes you to read books that you end up loving. Often, it pushes you to read books that you end up disliking (or even hating).

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.

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
Why yes, I am a Tolkien nerd! My collection of books about J.R.R. Tolkien is slowly growing. I will read The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings by Carol Zaleski and Philip Zaleski in either December or January. I am looking forward to this one, as well as my next reread of The Lord of the Rings. . Thanks to @prancingponypod for suggesting so many great Tolkien books! I can't remember if they mentioned this one on their podcast, but if not, they have recommended plenty of books like it. I have learned so much about my favorite books thanks to Alan and Shawn at The Prancing Pony Podcast! . . #tolkienfan #tolkien #theinklings #mythopoeicstudies #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #favoriteauthor #booklove #tbr #toread #nonfiction
