The Long Call

Best Books of 2019

December 31, 2019December 31, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 16 Comments

I had put off putting together my 'Best Of' list for the year, as I had a couple of new-to-me titles I wanted to read before bidding farewell to 2019, and I didn't know how they would be. But after a lazy winter Sunday with no plans and a snowstorm that kept me home all … Continue reading Best Books of 2019

State of the ARC, August 2019

August 29, 2019August 31, 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. Just when I thought I was going to have a NetGalley feedback ratio approaching 90% within the next few weeks, I received two … Continue reading State of the ARC, August 2019

Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 2019

August 4, 2019August 3, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

It was a quietish week around here, though work was a bit stressful. Fortunately, I swapped days with a coworker and took Saturday off, so I ended up with a three-day weekend. I had zero plans, except for cleaning my apartment and reading. I did go out with a friend on Friday evening. We wanted … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 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

Sunday Sum Up- July 28, 2019

July 28, 2019July 28, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

It was a busy week around here, but fortunately, the weather was gorgeous for most of it. My parents made a quick and somewhat unscheduled trip into town, so I had brunch with them on Wednesday morning and we did some shopping. One of our stops was PetSmart, where I bought a new toy for … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- July 28, 2019

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've been meaning to write this all week, but the days kept passing without my being able to get All The Things done. … Continue reading State of the ARC, July 2019

State of the Arc, April 2019

April 26, 2019April 25, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

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 only had one advance review copy for the month of April, and that was Wayfinding by M.R. O'Connor. It's a nonfiction … Continue reading State of the Arc, April 2019
