Labyrinth of Ice

November Summary, December Preview

December 3, 2019November 30, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

  November was a good month overall, though work kept me busy. We've had snow and rain and beautiful days, and Mina continues to be completely adorable. It's weird to think that both a year and a decade are coming to an end. In my mind, the 90s were still last week, but we're staring … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview

State of the ARC, November 2019

November 27, 2019November 26, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   I read one whole ARC in November, Labyrinth of Ice by Buddy Levy, which I was approved for a couple of weeks … Continue reading State of the ARC, November 2019

Sunday Sum Up: November 24, 2019

November 24, 2019November 23, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 4 Comments

My friends are great. They just roll with it when I text them random questions, such as this: "Are grapes berries?" I asked a friend this question on Tuesday. Her initial response was, "I wouldn't consider them berries", and so I declared them to be 'fruit, en masse'. When we got together on Wednesday (not … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 24, 2019

Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019

November 17, 2019November 16, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

This week was non-stop. Even on my day off, I didn't get more than a few minutes to sit down until I headed to dinner with friends. The reason I was so busy was that I spent the morning photographing one of the used bookshops downtown. They want to update their website, which includes updating … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019

Sunday Sum-Up, November 10, 2019

November 10, 2019November 10, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

My week's end was disrupted by cats. Instead of the quiet night which I was hoping for on Friday, I spent half the evening trying to separate Sidney and Mina. They were behaving like unruly children. Sidney kept hissing and swiping at Mina, even seeking her out to growl at her while she was hiding … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, November 10, 2019
