Most Disappointing Books of 2019

December 19, 2019December 18, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

To date, I have read 162 books in 2019. Most of them have been average to great. Some were instant favorites that I will keep forever. Others ranged from below average to downright awful. These are the most disappointing books of the year.     The Most Disappointing Books of 2019:   The Blade of … Continue reading Most Disappointing Books of 2019

Reading Log: Heir of Fire

January 15, 2019September 23, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 18 Comments

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”- William Faulkner My ambivalence … Continue reading Reading Log: Heir of Fire

It's a snowy Sunday around here. The forecast was for a couple of inches of snow, and we ended up with about seven inches of heavy, wet snow. Great for building snowmen, bad for driving anywhere. Nevertheless, I went to work and after that I stopped at the library. I'd planned to drive downtown and … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/13/2019

This is a little later than usual today. I was out late last night and slept in this morning. Why was I out late? I went to see a movie for the first time in ages! I'm planning to go see another one later this week. Whoa! More about the movies later. This week was … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/06/2019

Most Disappointing Books of 2018

December 21, 2018December 20, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 11 Comments

While I enjoyed most of the books I've read in 2018, there were several I didn't like. It happens.  There were a couple that I DNF'd because I just couldn't stand them. That's a thing that happens, too. So without further ado, here are the books I liked the least in 2018: Most Disappointing: Arresting … Continue reading Most Disappointing Books of 2018

  A little late today. I drove up to my sister's house last night to watch the NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship game between Nebraska and Stanford. I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018

  Another quick update! It's been mostly work and very little play around here. I'm done with this whole December thing. Bring me January! It was one of those weeks where I got pretty sick of people early on and then had to keep dealing with people. Not a fun scenario for an introvert, although … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 12/09/2018

Sunday Sum-Up

December 2, 2018December 1, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

  It's been a cold and gloomy week around here, capped by a weekend of snow, ice, and rain. And just as it happens every year, I did not get to spend my lone day off relaxing. I had to do a bunch of adulting, which included most of an hour spent on hold. Not … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
