Sunday Sum-Up- August 18, 2019

August 18, 2019August 18, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

Things my kitten has done this week: Taken the filter from the older cat's litter box and dragged it into the living room. She was very proud of herself. Found a rip in the liner of my bed's box spring, climbed up into it, and got stuck inside the box spring. Three times. Ran at … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up- August 18, 2019

July Summary and August Preview

July 31, 2019July 30, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 9 Comments

I'm always happy when July comes to a close, if only because it means that the hot weather is mostly past, and my beloved Sweater Weather is that much closer. And no, I didn't mind the end of summer when I was a kid, either. A small, nerdy kid who preferred books to social gatherings … Continue reading July Summary and August Preview

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
Why yes, I am a Tolkien nerd! My collection of books about J.R.R. Tolkien is slowly growing. I will read The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings by Carol Zaleski and Philip Zaleski in either December or January. I am looking forward to this one, as well as my next reread of The Lord of the Rings. . Thanks to @prancingponypod for suggesting so many great Tolkien books! I can't remember if they mentioned this one on their podcast, but if not, they have recommended plenty of books like it. I have learned so much about my favorite books thanks to Alan and Shawn at The Prancing Pony Podcast! . . #tolkienfan #tolkien #theinklings #mythopoeicstudies #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #favoriteauthor #booklove #tbr #toread #nonfiction
Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies are, hands down, my favorite historical fiction novels of 2019. I love how Mantel made the court of Henry VIII come to life and showed the humanity of historical figures who are usually viewed as one-dimensional charicatures. I can't wait for the final book in the trilogy, The Mirror and the Light, to come out next year. I need more 'He, Cromwell' in my life. . . . #wolfhall #bringupthebodies #hilarymantel #historicalfiction #thomascromwell #2019favorites #bookstagram #booklove #instabook
