Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023

January 22, 2023January 21, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

Quick sum-up this time, as I have a few things going on at the moment. We've had a couple of days of snow this week, though neither day gave us very much-- a couple of inches at most. Enough to be pretty, but not enough to cause real problems. Which I'm fine with. They got … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023

But there were enough that I haven't written off YA fantasy. So in no particular order, here are the best YA fantasy novels I read in … Continue reading Best Books of 2020: YA Fantasy

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

So I generally … Continue reading Six of Crows
