Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019

July 14, 2019July 13, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 10 Comments

Soo... This week didn't go quite as planned. We had three super busy days at work thanks to a long-planned event. The lead-up to it had been stressing me out for the past couple of weeks, and I am so glad to be done with it. That was planned. I'd been dreading it, but I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019

Sunday Sum-Up, 07/07/2019

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

I headed to my little hometown for a couple of days this week for Independence Day. My parents, my twelve-year-old nephew, and I went out for ice cream on Wednesday and then headed out to watch the town's fireworks show after dark. Because my hometown is fairly small (about 5,600 people) and because it's a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/07/2019

I hate summer. It's only just begun. *sighs* On a less dreadful note, I did have a lovely beginning to the week. Last Sunday I went to the Farmers' Market and bought a jar of homemade blackberry jam, a box of cardamom-flavored cookies, and a bouquet of flowers that included several purple lisianthuses. They've stayed … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 06/30/2019

Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019

I took a break from my normal Sunday Sum-Up routine last week. My computer was  misbehaving, and I wasn't feeling particularly well. Nothing serious for either me or the computer, fortunately. I had a bit of a sore throat and a cough that for some reason reminded me of Jane Bennett but without the ability … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019

  Spring is in the air! Green grass has begun to appear, the trees are starting to bud, and the first of the tulips and daffodils are blooming. The floodwaters are receding, too, though we keep getting rain so they might not be gone for long. I've been a little tired this week since a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/07/2019

March Summary and April Preview

April 2, 2019April 1, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 3 Comments

  The first half of March was deepest, darkest winter, and while the second half was warmer, it was filled with nearby natural disasters that prompted water restrictions and prevented travel. I wanted to go to a nearby state park, but it was closed due to flooding. I wanted to go to a local park, … Continue reading March Summary and April Preview

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.

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
