Wayfinding

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

Sunday Sum-Up, 04/07/2019

April 7, 2019April 6, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

  Spring is in the air! Green grass has begun to appear, the trees are starting to bud, and the first of the tulips and daffodils are blooming. The floodwaters are receding, too, though we keep getting rain so they might not be gone for long. I've been a little tired this week since a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/07/2019

Sunday Sum-Up, 03/31/2019

  Things are starting to dry out around here. Starting to, mind you. Only starting. The floodwaters have yet to fully recede, and we could be in for more problems, as at some point the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will have to release a lot of water from the Gavins Point Dam on the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/31/2019

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. The ARCs I finished: I've been moving right along in my ARCs this month. I posted three reviews for books due out in … Continue reading State of the ARC, March 2019

State of the ARC, February 2019

February 19, 2019February 17, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 10 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.   The first half of February marked a lull in my NetGalley activity. I had finished up my reviews for the books published … Continue reading State of the ARC, February 2019

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. I can't wait to start my reread of The Lord of the Rings, especially now that I have the reader's companion by Hammond and Scull. . . 📚Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper 📚Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin 📚The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien 📚The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion by Wayne G.

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
