August Summary and September Preview

September 2, 2019September 1, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

August was a solid reading month, though I didn't pick up two of the books on the TBR stack from the beginning of the month. Oh well. I got through most of the books I intended to read, plus the three ARCs I needed to finish before their release dates in September. Good job, me! … Continue reading August Summary and September Preview

Book to Movie

February 26, 2017August 15, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 3 Comments

The Oscars are tonight, and in their honor I thought I'd write about a few of my favorite book-to-movie features. I know a lot of people dislike adaptations (as well as the book editions that come out featuring stills from the films, if my Pinterest feed is any sign). Characters and events get left out, … Continue reading Book to Movie

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.

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
