Sunday Sum-Up: January 29, 2023

January 29, 2023January 28, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

I had a busy week at work last week, thanks to a tedious but necessary annual task that always takes several days to complete. We finished it yesterday, but while that's all done next week promises to be a busy one, too. At least Monday and Tuesday will be busy. After that, I think things … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 29, 2023

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

Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022

January 15, 2023January 14, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 21 Comments

It's been a quiet and cozy week around here. I'm still enjoying the vibes provided by the new living room lamp, and I'm finally getting around to finishing up some Netflix shows and watching a few movies I've had in my queue for a long time. So I finished up Wednesday (which was fun, though … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022

2021 Favorites: Historical Fiction

January 5, 2022January 4, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 10 Comments

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, but I am picky about them. I want them to be both accurate and engaging. Granted, perfect accuracy is not achievable but I appreciate the author who does the research necessary to make their books feel real and like the people belong to their era, instead of … Continue reading 2021 Favorites: Historical Fiction

Sunday Sum-Up: February 28, 2021

February 28, 2021February 27, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 11 Comments

We had a little snowstorm last Sunday, and you can bet I went for a walk in the middle of it. It was so quiet and beautiful that I spent about an hour and a half wandering about. Definitely worth the cold fingers. Once I got home, I stayed home where it was warm and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 28, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: February 21, 2021

There's a question people around here tend to ask when the weather gets extreme: "Is it _____ enough for you?". Fill in the blank with 'hot' in the summer, 'windy' on a blustery day, 'wet' on a rainy day, etc., etc.. This past week, the key word was 'cold'. And yes, it was cold enough … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 21, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: February 14, 2021

It's been a cold week around here. And snowy. We got more snow. Because we needed that. And we had temperatures that dipped into subzero ranges (Fahrenheit, so super brrr...). Thanks to my black wool coat, Irish wool hat, scarf, and boots, I've been looking rather like a Dickensian waif walking around. Fun times. What's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 14, 2021

Big Books for 2021

December 15, 2020December 15, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

There are some big books that have been sitting on my shelves for a while, just waiting for me to get around to giving them the time and effort they deserve. I'm not intimidated by big books. I'm fine with reading them. I mean, this year I read a 600 page biography of Thomas Cromwell, … Continue reading Big Books for 2021
