The Long Call

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

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
